How to Choose the Right Doormat?- Ford Mustang Custom Name and Color Car Doormat
The primary function of a doormat is to takeΒ dirtΒ andΒ moistureΒ from shoes and hold onto it so that the mess doesnβt make its way into your house. Doormats can alsoΒ look greatΒ too and provide the perfect finishing touch to your entrance, but the most important thing is how well theyΒ clean. Good quality matting is a worthwhile investment as it protects your interior floor coverings from dirt and damage and reduces the amount of time you have to spend cleaning.
In an ideal worldΒ each entrance needs 2 doormats. Your 1stΒ barrier matting should be aΒ scraper matΒ such as aΒ coir mat, to scrape off dirt and debris, followed by your 2ndΒ barrier matting, anΒ absorbent matΒ such as aΒ washable doormatΒ to soak up the excess moisture from shoes. You can either have one outside the door and one inside, or put both inside. If you can only purchase one mat then choose coir as it has an excellent scraping action and is still absorbent, but less so than a washable mat.
Size Matters.
Choose the biggest mat that your budget and available space allow. If your mat is too small, people who walk straight in without wiping their feet will only place one foot on the mat and the next one will land on the other side of it, without having been wiped at all!
A large mat inside the house big enough to stand on while youΒ remove your shoesΒ can be the ideal cue to encourage people who sometimes need a gentle reminder that youβd like them to remove their shoes.
You can even turn your mat around and have it running in a portrait rather thanΒ landscape orientationΒ to ensure that both feet make contact with the mat as many times as possible.
Many people useΒ cut to size coir mattingΒ to carpet the entire floor of an enclosed porch and this is a brilliant way to ensure your mat is big enough.
ThicknessΒ – Ford Mustang Custom Name and Color Car Doormat
A long, thicker pile is not always better. Shorter pile mats tend to have a firmer brushing action and can remove dirt more effectively. (Think about how bristly very short cropped hair feels!)
Check the clearance of your door to ensure that it will still open with the mat in place.
PVC backed coir is excellent for mat wells as it can be cut to size to your requirements, even if the mat well is an unusual shape, and comes in a range of thicknesses, (17mm, 20mm, 23mm, 28mm), which can cater for most depths of well. If your mat well is deeper than this simply have a piece of plywood of the appropriate thickness cut to size to put into the bottom of the mat well and sit your coir mat on top.
As most mat wells are indoors a printed design to personalise your mat is also possible. Our traditional hand stitched mats are also good for use in mat wells too, their beautifully hand crafted appearance means that they are well suited to period homes and would always be the choice for an external mat well
