Walk Off Carpet Tiles and Mats

Options for Walk Off Mats

As people walk into your business or commercial building from outdoors, they may be bringing quite a bit of the outdoors in with them. Rain, snow, sleet, mud, and dust are all contaminants that you’d probably rather leave outside your building. You catch debris from visitors' shoes by placing walk-off mats from Greatmats at the entry door to your building. They keep your building’s flooring cleaner while preventing slips. These durable walk off mat commercial designs will stand up to anything visitors’ shoes can scrape onto them … and ask for more!

Types of Walk Off Carpet Tiles

At Greatmats, we offer three primary designs of walk off carpet tiles.

Tiles

Our walk off mat carpet tiles are available in both glue-down and interlocking designs. Using tiles lets you cover a precise area or an unusually shaped space by adjusting the number of tiles you use.

Many of these pieces have a square shape. This design makes it easier to order the correct number of walk off carpet squares to cover the desired space.

These tiles frequently use carpet top layers, but some have rubber surfaces.

Mats

Pre-sized mats are a popular choice. They function like heavy-duty rugs, protecting the floor at the entrance to the building. Common sizes are:

• 3x5 feet
  
• 3x6 feet
  
• 4x6 feet
  
• 4x8 feet
  
• 3x12 feet

Matting Rolls

Matting rolls provide a long, narrow coverage option. These rolls are a few feet in width and dozens of feet in length. Use them to create a runway for people to follow as they enter the building, ensuring their shoes are completely clean before they reach the main flooring.

Features and Benefits in Walk On/Walk Off Mats

One of the most popular features of our walk on/walk off mats is the ability to add a personalized logo or lettering to a custom-made mat. The logo system doesn’t wear away when exposed to significant foot traffic.

Another key feature we offer with some mats is a bi-level design. Some of the fibers are recessed, providing an extra layer of texture to pull soils from the bottoms of shoes.

The low pile heights in our walk off carpets and mats make them easy to clean and allow them to dry faster.

Use Types for Commercial Walk Off Mats

Some of the most common places where people deploy our commercial walk off mats include:

• Commercial building entrance
  
• Retail building entrance
  
• Office building entrance
  
• Home entrance
  
• Restaurant entrance
  
• Healthcare facility entrance
  
• School entrance
  
• Government building entrance

Some people use them at the exit doors for restrooms, locker rooms, or pool areas indoors.

Walk Off Mats Q&A

Do Waterhog mats make a good commercial walk off carpet?

Yes, Waterhog mats are good choices as commercial walk off carpet tiles. They provide a textured surface that scrapes dirt, mud, and water off the soles of shoes. At an entryway to a commercial building or business where someone might slip on wet floors, the Waterhog mats provide slip resistance, enhancing safety.

What is an entrance mat made of?

An entrance mat can consist of multiple materials, including rubber, carpet, PVC plastic, and cocoa fibers. Some mats might use more than one material. Rubber is highly popular, as it is durable and provides maximum traction. Carpet paired with perforated PVC plastic pulls soils from shoes and allows water to drain away. Like carpet, cocoa fibers pull dirt and mud from the bottom of shoes.
