Outdoor Mats

Outdoor door mats are the first line of defence against dirt and water entering your building. Our heavy-duty outdoor mats are built to cope with all kinds of weather as well as remove heavy dirt, mud, grit and sand. They give a good grip underfoot to provide a safe entrance area, even in wet conditions.

Outdoor Door Mats: Your First Line of Defence Against Dirt and Weather

Outdoor door mats are essential for maintaining clean, safe entrances whilst protecting your indoor flooring from the elements. As the UK’s unpredictable weather brings rain, snow, wind, and sunshine, choosing the right outdoor entrance mats ensures year-round protection for both residential and commercial properties.

Why Choose Outdoor Door Mats?

Enhanced Cleanliness and Protection
Outdoor mats serve as your property’s first line of defence, effectively trapping dirt, mud, grit, and debris before it enters your building. By removing heavy soiling at the entrance, these mats significantly extend the cleanliness of your floors.

Improved Safety Standards
Quality outdoor entrance mats feature slip-resistant surfaces and effective moisture management, dramatically reducing the risk of accidents caused by wet or dirty floors.

Weather-Resistant Durability
Built to withstand the UK’s unpredictable climate, outdoor door mats are constructed from materials designed to handle rain, snow, wind and UV exposure, without compromising performance or appearance.

Understanding UK Weather Challenges for Outdoor Mats

Rain Protection
During wet weather, outdoor entrance mats must effectively scrape water from footwear whilst allowing proper drainage. Outdoor mats with flow-through holes and channelled undersides help to prevent water pooling, maintaining a safe walking surface even during heavy rainfall. Our Rubber Ramp Mat is a great solution for an outdoor mat with drainage.

Snow and Ice Resistance
Snowy conditions present unique challenges requiring mats with high water tolerance and anti-slip surfaces. Quality outdoor door mats are engineered to scrape and hold snow until it melts and drains away safely.

Wind Stability
Strong winds can displace lightweight mat. Outdoor mats are manufactured from heavy-duty rubber materials that provide exceptional stability and weight, to keep them securely positioned during adverse weather. Our Rubber Scrape Mat is the perfect heavy duty outdoor scraper mat.

UV Protection
Prolonged sunshine exposure can cause colour fading. Outdoor entrance mats incorporate UV-resistant properties to maintain their appearance and structural integrity.

Choosing the Right Outdoor Door Mats

Size Considerations

  • Measure your entrance width and select outdoor mats covering at least 80% of the doorway
  • Consider foot traffic volume – high-traffic areas benefit from larger coverage
  • Ensure adequate space that doesn’t obstruct door operation or pedestrian flow

Material Selection

  • Coir Mats: Dependable natural fibre option, ideal for sheltered outdoor positions with regular maintenance or look at synthetic coir matting if it will be exposed to all of the elements.
  • Rubber Mats: Superior weather resistance with excellent durability and slip-resistant properties
