\"DifferencesHave you ever wondered what exactly are the differences between indoor and outdoor mats? The differences can be obvious or they can be subtle. Let\u2019s take a look at them.<\/p>\n

Weather-proofing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outdoor mats have to withstand temperatures extremes that indoor mats do not, whether it\u2019s freezing cold winters or blistering hot summers. Outdoor mats may also spend long hours in the direct sun, so fade-resistance is a good idea.<\/p>\n

Toughness<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the public will come in contact with an outdoor mat before an indoor mat, outdoor mats will be the first line of defense against water, snow, ice, dirt, mud, and debris. That means that you want your outdoor mats to be extremely easy to clean and very efficient at channeling away dirt and water.<\/p>\n

For example, Tire Link Door Mats<\/a> are virtually indestructible and provide easy cleaning by just hosing them off. They are made of recycled rubber and are great at quickly removing dirt and debris from shoes.<\/p>\n

Surface Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

The indoor mat is the last line of defense before the public enters your premises. This means that once you have removed the bulk of dirt and water from shoes, you want your indoor mat to try to remove the rest of any dirt before customers or clients take that dirt everywhere.<\/p>\n

A Classic Brush mat<\/a> has a specific surface design that will aggressively wipe the bottoms of shoes to remove all the dirt. When appropriate mats remove all the remaining dirt from shoes, that dirt is not tracked through your commercial space damaging interior floors.<\/p>\n

The mat\u2019s surface design should also dry the person\u2019s shoes as much as possible. Wet shoes mean wet floors, and wet floors are slippery floors\u2014the last thing you need.<\/p>\n

Waterhog mats<\/a> are a great example of a mat that pulls moisture away from the surface of the mat to help an individual walk away with dry shoes.<\/p>\n

Always inspect your mats to make sure they are in good shape, and replace them if needed. You want your mats to add to your building\u2019s safety, not create a slip or trip hazard. And make sure you have some mats for your commercial space before the snow falls.<\/p>\n
