Super Scrape Rubber Logo Mats put your logo on a mat that earns its place at the door. The nitrile rubber surface uses raised circular cleats to scrape dirt and water off shoes before they reach your floors, and the artwork is set into the rubber rather than coated on top — so the branding holds up through heavy traffic instead of scuffing away. They're among the most rugged of our outdoor logo mats, built for real commercial use indoors or out.
The logo is digitally printed on a polymeric film, then heat-pressed into the nitrile rubber so it becomes part of the mat. That process reproduces photo-realistic detail — multi-color artwork, tones, and gradients all come through cleanly, which is what separates these printed floor mats from simple one-color welcome mats. You get 150 standard colors to work from, with PMS matching available — up to four PMS colors per design — when a logo has to be exact.
The raised cleats give the mat a high-traction surface that's certified by the National Floor Safety Institute, which matters at a wet entrance where a slip turns into a liability claim. The all-nitrile build also resists oils and chemicals, so the mat holds up at tougher doorways — entries near commercial kitchens, service bays, and manufacturing floors — not just clean lobby entrances. It works indoors or out, though under constant direct sun the printed color softens over time.
The mat comes in standard sizes from 2.5' x 3' up to 6' x 8', so most entrances are covered without custom cutting — what's custom is the artwork, built to your logo and colors. Cleaning is simple: shake or sweep off loose debris and hose it down, or have it commercially laundered. Plan to replace it when the cleats wear smooth or the printed color has faded enough to lose its punch at the door.

Frequently Asked Questions
How well does the logo hold up outdoors and under heavy traffic?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
Better than a surface-printed mat. The artwork is printed on a film and heat-pressed into the nitrile rubber, so it's set into the mat instead of sitting on top as a coating that can scuff or peel. Under heavy door traffic, the raised cleats usually wear smooth before the logo gives out. Outdoors, direct sun is the limiting factor — the color softens gradually over the years rather than failing all at once.
Can you match our exact brand colors?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Yes. There are 150 standard colors to work from, which covers most logos as they are. When a brand needs precise color, PMS matching is available for up to four colors per design. Because the image is digitally printed before it's pressed into the rubber, photo-realistic detail holds up — multi-color marks, gradients, and fine type come through cleanly instead of being simplified into flat blocks.
What artwork do you need from us, and how detailed can the logo get?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Print-ready artwork works best — vector files or high-resolution images reproduce most cleanly. The process handles real detail, including photo-realistic images, multi-color designs, and shaded tones. As a rule of thumb, keep text at least half an inch tall and lines at least a sixteenth of an inch thick so they hold up in production. Send us the logo and the size you need, and we'll confirm how it reproduces before anything is made.
Can these go near kitchens or areas with oil and chemicals?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
Yes — that's one of the real advantages of nitrile rubber. Standard rubber softens and breaks down with regular oil and chemical exposure, while nitrile resists both. That lets the mat hold up at doorways near commercial kitchens, auto and service bays, manufacturing floors, and food-service areas, where a standard logo mat would degrade.

What the Scraper Does Before the Building Ever Sees the Shoe
Scraper mats are the first defender outside the building — the outdoor entrance mat that takes the heavy debris off the shoe before any indoor matting or interior flooring has to deal with it. ISSA field data shows 12 times more dirt enters a building during wet weather, and the scraping zone at the exterior threshold is where the bulk of that load is supposed to get knocked off.
A scraper mat that's the right construction for the exposure removes mud, gravel, snow, and grit before they cross the threshold — which is what lets the indoor mat on the other side of the door actually do its moisture-absorption job instead of being overwhelmed by debris.
The Mistake That Burns Outdoor Scraper Buyers
The most common mistake at scraper placements is undersizing the mat or using an indoor-rated construction at an exterior threshold. Indoor mats with carpet faces fade and curl within months of UV and freeze/thaw exposure, and a too-small scraper mat at a wide entrance lets most of the inbound traffic bypass the scraping action entirely.
The downstream consequences compound: heavy debris rides shoes onto the interior flooring, accelerating wear on the floor finish and overwhelming the indoor matting that was supposed to handle moisture. Slip-and-fall risk that NFSI tracks at building entrances spikes when scraper mats fail or are absent — wet shoes carrying mud and grit onto interior flooring is one of the most consistent commercial liability sources at the threshold.
Matching the construction to the exposure and sizing for the actual entry width is what avoids the cycle.
How the Four Options Compare
Each option in the grid handles a different scraping problem. Picking between them comes down to what the entrance is actually fighting and what role the mat plays at the door.
Super Scrape Rubber Mats use molded surface cleats to dig into shoe treads and dislodge mud, gravel, snow, and heavy debris on contact. All-rubber construction handles UV, freeze/thaw cycling, and the slip resistance that wet exterior conditions demand. Strongest fit for high-volume commercial entries where aggressive dirt removal is the primary job — schools, healthcare facility exteriors, retail storefronts, government buildings, and any threshold where heavy debris arrives daily.
Super Scrape Rubber Logo Mats combine the cleated scraping action with a custom logo molded into the all-rubber surface. This is an unusual combination — most logo mats use carpet faces that won't survive exterior UV and weather, so they're indoor-only. The Super Scrape Logo construction is rubber throughout, which gives you the scraping function of a commercial outdoor mat plus brand presentation at the threshold.
Right pick for customer-facing main entrances where the outdoor mat is part of the building's first impression — retail storefronts, hospitality entries, corporate main lobbies, and schools where the institution identity belongs at the exterior door.
Mat-A-Dor Mats use hundreds of resilient rubber fingers that scrape shoes automatically on contact — the fingers go to work the moment they're stepped on. Beveled borders prevent tripping, and the construction hides trapped dirt rather than displaying it. Distinctive feature: the rubber-finger surface doubles as anti-fatigue cushioning, which makes Mat-A-Dor a strong fit for exterior placements that also serve as stand-up work zones — guard stations, valet stands, drive-through windows, and entry-adjacent posts where a worker stands for extended periods.
Safety Scrape Rubber Mats prioritize maximum traction alongside scraping action. Built for environments where stable footing is the safety priority — kitchens with grease and water on the floor, locker rooms, inclined surfaces, behind counters, production areas, and exterior building entrances where wet or oily conditions are constant. Right pick when slip-and-fall risk is the dominant problem and the mat needs to keep the walking surface grippy in conditions that would make other mats slick.
Three Things to Check Before You Pick
First, what the entrance is actually fighting. Heavy mud, gravel, or snow at a high-volume commercial threshold calls for the most aggressive cleated scraping — Super Scrape Rubber. Wet, oily, or sloped exterior conditions where traction is the safety priority — Safety Scrape Rubber. Customer-facing entrance where the scraper also needs to carry the brand — Super Scrape Rubber Logo. Entry that doubles as a stand-up work zone — Mat-A-Dor.
Second, size. ISSA's six-to-eight-footstep rule applies at the scraper zone too: a small mat at a wide entrance lets the bulk of inbound traffic bypass the scraping action. Match the mat width to the entry width, and size the length to catch at least three or four steps before the threshold.
Third, what comes after the scraper. Scraper mats handle debris removal but aren't built for moisture absorption — they need to be paired with indoor matting on the other side of the threshold for the full entrance system to work. If the scraper is doing the entire job alone, the indoor flooring will pay the price within a few months.
Why Mats Inc.
The four scrapers in the grid above are what's stayed on the floor across decades of watching what survives at exterior thresholds. Constructions that didn't hold up to UV, freeze/thaw, and continuous debris exposure retired from the catalog. The ones still here are the ones we'd put outside our own front door.
Getting the scraper spec right at the start is what keeps the indoor matting on the other side of the threshold from being overwhelmed by debris — and that's what keeps the floor inside the building from absorbing wear it was never built for. Spec consultation available if you want a second opinion before committing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I tell which of the four scrapers fits my entrance?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
Start with what the entrance is actually fighting. Heavy mud, gravel, or snow at a high-volume commercial threshold — Super Scrape Rubber Mats with molded surface cleats do the most aggressive dirt removal. Same situation but the entry needs to carry the brand — Super Scrape Rubber Logo Mats combine cleated scraping with a molded logo, which is unusual for scraper-grade construction.
Entry where the mat doubles as a stand-up work zone — Mat-A-Dor's rubber fingers scrape on contact and provide anti-fatigue underfoot. Wet, oily, or sloped exterior conditions where traction is the safety priority — Safety Scrape Rubber Mats keep the walking surface stable in conditions that make other mats slick. Send the entry details if you can't tell which fits.
Where should the scraper mat actually go at the entrance?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
Directly outside the door, oriented so the bulk of inbound traffic crosses the mat before reaching the threshold. ISSA research shows it takes six to eight footsteps to wipe a shoe clean — the scraper mat needs to be sized to catch at least the first few of those steps. Standard placement is right at the exterior threshold with the long dimension aligned to the natural traffic path.
For high-volume commercial entries, pairing the scraper outside with an indoor mat or runner inside gets the full six-to-eight-step coverage. Undersizing the scraper is the most common placement mistake — a small mat at a wide entrance lets most of the inbound shoes bypass the scraping action entirely, which means the heavy debris ends up on the interior flooring anyway.
Can I get a scraper mat with a logo for a customer-facing entry?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Yes — Super Scrape Rubber Logo Mats in the grid above are specifically built for that, which is unusual for scraper-grade construction. Most logo mats use carpet faces that won't survive exterior UV, weather, and freeze/thaw cycling, so they're indoor-only. The Super Scrape Logo construction is all-rubber with the logo molded into the surface, which gives you the scraping action of a commercial outdoor mat plus brand presentation at the threshold.
For customer-facing entries at retail storefronts, hospitality entries, corporate main lobbies, and schools where the outdoor mat is part of the building's first impression, branded scraper matting at the door reinforces brand identity in a way an unbranded scraper can't. Color options on rubber logo mats are narrower than indoor carpet-faced options because the compound chemistry has to prioritize weatherability, but the branding capability is real.
How long should an outdoor scraper mat last?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
Three to five years at moderate-traffic commercial entries, two to three years at the busiest high-volume entrances. Three things end the lifespan early: undersizing (the mat takes traffic concentrated in a small area and wears unevenly), skipped maintenance (debris accumulates underneath and breaks down the backing from below), and wrong placement (mat sits where the bulk of traffic doesn't actually cross it, which means the scraping action degrades through partial use rather than full use).
Rubber scraper construction handles UV, freeze/thaw, and weather exposure well, so the construction itself typically isn't what fails — it's the application around the mat. Lift the scraper monthly to clear accumulated grit from beneath, and the mat hits the upper end of the range.
Do scraper mats look out of place at a customer-facing entry?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Depends on the construction. The molded cleat surface on Super Scrape Rubber Mats reads as functional but tidy — appropriate at schools, healthcare, government, retail entries, and commercial thresholds where utility matters more than decorative presentation. Mat-A-Dor's rubber-finger surface has a distinctive appearance that reads as intentional commercial rather than strictly utilitarian. Safety Scrape Rubber Mats have the most utility-focused look — best suited for service entries, loading docks, and industrial thresholds, less so at hospitality or corporate main lobbies.
For customer-facing main entrances where brand presentation matters, Super Scrape Rubber Logo Mats are the option in the grid that combines scraping function with intentional visual presence. The other three constructions fit better at secondary, service, or operations-focused entries.
Can I get scraper mats in custom sizes for non-standard entries?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Yes, with options across all four constructions. Super Scrape Rubber Mats and Safety Scrape Rubber Mats support custom rectangular sizing within standard manufacturing tolerances. Super Scrape Rubber Logo Mats are inherently custom — the logo, sizing, and color configuration are specified per order based on the design. Mat-A-Dor Mats are available in multiple standard sizes; custom dimensions are possible with longer lead times.
For irregular entry shapes — angled thresholds, recessed entries, wide commercial entries that need multiple connected mats — send us the dimensions and design intent and we'll confirm what's manufacturable. Custom orders typically take two to four weeks depending on construction and complexity.

What the Scraper Does Before the Building Ever Sees the Shoe
Scraper mats are the first defender outside the building — the outdoor entrance mat that takes the heavy debris off the shoe before any indoor matting or interior flooring has to deal with it.

A rubber scraper mat earns its place at the door by doing two jobs at once: pulling grit off shoes, and holding footing where a wet floor turns slick. Safety Scrape does both. Its molded grip surface bites in wet, greasy, and oily conditions that leave smoother mats treacherous, so it works as well inside a wet kitchen as it does outside as an exterior scraper.
What Safety Scrape Does Before a Slick Floor Becomes a Claim
The trouble with most entrance mats shows up the moment the floor gets wet. A surface that grips when dry can go slippery underfoot, and that is exactly when a slip-and-fall claim starts. Safety Scrape is built for that moment. The cleated surface keeps traction in wet and oily conditions, and those same cleats scrape dirt and sand off shoes so loose grit does not track across the floor behind it.
Why Molded Nitrile, and Why This One
The mat is molded from solid nitrile rubber — a synthetic rubber that shrugs off oil, grease, and harsh chemicals instead of breaking down in them. That is why it holds up in kitchens and production areas where animal fats and cleaners would degrade a cheaper mat. The grip comes from cleats molded into the face, not a coating that wears off.
The traction is a tested rating, not just a textured look. Safety Scrape is certified high-traction by the National Floor Safety Institute, the independent body that rates slip resistance, and it posts a static coefficient of friction — a standard grip measurement — of 0.74 dry under ASTM C1028-96, which sits in the high-traction range. It also passes the DOC FF1-70 surface-flammability standard.
Where It Belongs, and Where It Doesn't
Safety Scrape fits anywhere wet or oily footing meets incoming dirt: commercial kitchens, food-prep and processing areas, locker rooms, industrial workshops, and exterior building entrances in wet climates. It reads as utility-first, so it is at home behind the counter, at a service entry, or on an inclined walkway where safe footing matters more than polish. It is one of the exterior scraper and traction mats we carry, chosen for the wet-and-greasy end of that range.
What it is not is a lobby showpiece. The molded surface is functional, not decorative, so for a customer-facing main entrance where presentation leads, a finished entrance mat usually carries the look better. Use Safety Scrape where the real job is footing and scraping — indoors or out.
Three Things to Check Before You Spec It
First, match the surface to the conditions. If the floor sees standing water, grease, or chemical splash, the nitrile build and cleated grip are the whole point — that is where Safety Scrape outperforms a smooth or fabric mat. In a dry, low-risk spot, a lighter mat may be enough.
Second, size it to the traffic path, not the doorway. Grit needs several footsteps on the mat to come off, and ISSA field data shows roughly 12 times more dirt enters a building during wet weather — which is also when footing is least stable. A mat too short for the path lets shoes skip both the cleats and the grip surface.
Third, plan placement and upkeep. A scraper works best paired with an absorbent mat just inside, so the scraper knocks off grit and the second stage takes the moisture. Lift and clear trapped grit underneath on a regular schedule, since debris packed beneath a mat is what shortens its life early.
Why Mats Inc.
We have specified entrance and safety matting since 1964, and we choose traction products by the test data, not the sales sheet. Safety Scrape earns its spot because its slip rating is independently certified and its nitrile build survives the kitchens and entrances that break down lesser mats. Tell us the conditions and the traffic path, and we will confirm it is the right call for your floor.

What is Safety Scrape made of, and how slip-resistant is it really?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
Safety Scrape is molded from solid nitrile rubber, with the grip cleats built into the face rather than coated on top, so the traction does not wear away. The slip resistance is a tested rating: it is certified high-traction by the National Floor Safety Institute and posts a 0.74 dry static coefficient of friction under ASTM C1028-96, which sits in the high-traction range. It also passes the DOC FF1-70 surface-flammability standard. The cleats hold footing in wet and oily conditions — exactly where smooth mats turn slick.
How do I clean it, and how long should it last?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
Cleaning is about as simple as commercial matting gets. Shake off the loose grit, then hose or pressure-wash it; for a deeper clean, scrub with a deck brush and a neutral-pH detergent and hang it to dry before putting it back. It is safe in a commercial dishwasher and can be sterilized in an autoclave where that is required. At a commercial placement, plan on several years of service. The habit that extends it is lifting the mat regularly to clear grit trapped underneath, since packed debris is what wears a mat out early.
Can I use it both indoors and outdoors, and will it stay in place?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
Yes — it is built for both. Indoors it suits wet zones like kitchens, food-prep areas, and locker rooms; outdoors it works as an exterior scraper at building entrances, especially in wet climates. The mat is lightweight and flexible, which makes it easy to lift and clean, so on a smooth floor in a busy path it is worth checking that it sits flat and is not shifting. The best results come from placing it right where the wet meets the foot traffic, not off to the side of the path.
What sizes does it come in, and how do I pick the right one?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Safety Scrape comes in a set of standard sizes, from a compact 2-by-3-foot mat up to a 3-by-10-foot runner, with a few widths in between. The size that matters is the one matched to the actual traffic path — people need several steps on the mat for the cleats to do their work, so a mat chosen to look tidy rather than to cover where feet land lets shoes miss the grip surface entirely. Tell us the doorway width and how far the path runs, and we will point you to the size that fits.
Will it look out of place at a customer-facing entrance?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Its look is functional first. The molded grip surface reads as purpose-built — clean and intentional, but utilitarian rather than decorative. That suits service entries, back-of-house doors, and wet work zones perfectly. For a main lobby or a storefront where the entrance is part of the first impression, a more finished mat usually carries the look better. The simplest approach is to let the role decide: where safe footing is the real job, Safety Scrape looks exactly as serious as it is.
Does it come in different colors, or can I add a logo?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Safety Scrape is a single functional construction — a molded black grip surface — so it is not a color or logo product. The trade-off is deliberate: every part of the design works toward traction and scraping, not appearance. If you want a brand or a custom color at the door, that belongs on a logo or carpet-inlay construction built for print, which we can point you to. Where the priority is footing and dirt control, the standard surface is the right tool.

A printed Waterhog logo mat does two jobs at once: it puts your name or logo at the door, and it does the real work of a Waterhog — scraping grit and holding water before either reaches your floor. That pairing is the whole point. A logo on a thin promo mat wears off and curls; a logo printed into a genuine Waterhog entrance mat keeps working long after the first impression lands.
What a Printed Waterhog Logo Mat Does Before Grit Reaches Your Floor
Every entrance makes two impressions at once — what visitors see, and what their shoes leave behind. A printed Waterhog logo mat handles both. The bi-level surface scrapes dirt and moisture off shoes and drops it down between the raised nubs, below shoe level, so it stays in the mat instead of tracking across your lobby.
The raised water-dam border holds that moisture in — up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard — so the floor behind it stays dry. Your logo sits on a surface that's actually doing the cleaning, not just decorating the doorway.
Why This Construction Holds Up Where a Promo Mat Won't
The surface is a 30 oz/yd² PET polyester fiber, needle-punched into the raised Waterhog nub pattern and bonded to a molded nitrile rubber backing. The reinforced rubber nubs are what keep the pile from crushing flat under traffic — the usual way a logo mat dies, with the print going patchy as the surface mats down. Here the nubs hold the pile up, so the image stays crisp and the mat keeps scraping.
The logo is built up through a color-layering print process rather than sitting on top as a coating, and the PET fiber is made largely from recycled plastic — up to 85% recycled content. The nitrile backing resists curling and cracking in heat or cold, which is what lets the same mat work at an indoor lobby or a covered outdoor entrance.
Where It Belongs — and What It Isn't
This is a commercial entrance mat first and a sign second. It earns its place at front doors, lobbies, reception areas, and front desks — anywhere in hotels, retail, restaurants, offices, schools, and healthcare where the first thing a visitor meets is the floor. Pick smooth backing for hard floors and cleated backing for carpet.
What it isn't is a canvas for fine detail. The print reproduces bold logos, lettering, and clean shapes — not photographic gradients, tiny text, or thin hairlines. Text should be at least 1.5 inches tall and lines at least a quarter-inch thick. Very light background colors are best avoided, since pale fields show everyday soil faster than darker or neutral tones.
Three Things to Check Before You Spec It
First, match the backing to the floor it's going on. Smooth backing grips hard surfaces like tile, stone, and sealed concrete; cleated backing is made to sit on carpet without creeping. Getting this wrong is how a mat slides or ripples underfoot.
Second, pressure-test your artwork before you commit to it. Bold logos and clear lettering reproduce beautifully; gradients, screens, and PMS-specific color matching don't. Build the design around at least 1.5-inch text and quarter-inch lines, and lean toward a darker background that hides soil between cleanings.
Third, size the mat to the entrance, not just the doorway. People need several steps on the surface to leave their dirt behind, so a mat that spans the actual walking path cleans far better than a small one tucked at the threshold. Measure the opening and the stride past it before you choose a size.
Why Mats Inc.
Mats Inc. has specified commercial entrance matting since 1964, and a logo mat is where performance and presentation have to land together — get one right and the other wrong, and the mat fails at the door. We help you spec both: the surface and backing for how the entrance is used, and the artwork so it actually reproduces on the mat. You'll see a proof before anything is produced, and the order is backed by our one-year limited warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can a mat show a logo and still keep my floors clean?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
Because the logo is printed into a working Waterhog surface, not onto a flat promo mat. The bi-level pattern of raised nubs scrapes grit and moisture off shoes and traps it down below shoe level, while the water-dam border holds water on the mat — up to 1.5 gallons per square yard. So the printed surface is doing the same scraping-and-holding job as a plain Waterhog; the artwork just rides on top of it. Your logo greets people while the mat quietly keeps the lobby floor dry.
How long will the logo and the mat hold up under traffic?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
The thing that usually kills a logo mat is pile crush — the surface flattens under foot traffic and the print goes patchy. This construction fights that with reinforced rubber nubs that hold the pile upright, so the image stays crisp and the mat keeps working through heavy use. The nitrile backing resists curling and cracking in heat and cold, and a rubber-bordered mat can even be commercially laundered. Kept clean and sized right, it holds up for years, and Mats Inc. backs every order with a one-year limited warranty.
Can I use it both indoors and outdoors, and which backing do I pick?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
It works at indoor lobbies and covered outdoor entrances alike, because the PET fiber and nitrile backing handle moisture and temperature swings without breaking down. The backing is the choice to get right: smooth backing for hard floors like tile, stone, or sealed concrete, and cleated backing for carpet, where it grips instead of creeping. For a fully exposed outdoor spot that takes constant sun and standing water, talk to us first so we can match the mat to the conditions.
What can I have printed on the mat?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Bold logos, lettering, and clean shapes reproduce really well. The print is built up in color layers, so it's made for crisp, well-defined artwork rather than photographic gradients or fine detail. Keep text at least 1.5 inches tall and lines at least a quarter-inch thick, and skip tints, screens, and transparencies. PMS color matching isn't available, but there's a wide standard palette to build from. Send us your artwork and we'll show you how it translates to the mat before anything is made.
What colors does it come in, and does the background matter?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
There are 56 standard colors to build the logo and background from, which is plenty to match most brand palettes. The one thing worth planning around is the background tone: very light or white fields look sharp on day one but show everyday soil faster than darker or neutral colors. For an entrance that gets real traffic, a mid-tone or darker background keeps the mat looking intentional longer between cleanings, while your logo still reads clearly on top.
What sizes can I get, and how do I pick the right one?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
It comes in a wide range of standard sizes, from a small 2-by-3 up through long runners and large lobby formats, so you can fit a single door or a wide entrance. The trick is to size it to the walking path, not just the doorway — people need several steps on the mat to leave their dirt behind, so a mat that's too short lets grit slip past. Measure the opening and the few steps beyond it, and we'll help you land on a size that both fits the space and shows the logo well.

A printed Waterhog logo mat does two jobs at once: it puts your name or logo at the door, and it does the real work of a Waterhog — scraping grit and holding water before either reaches your floor. That pairing is the whole point. A logo on a thin promo mat wears off and curls; a logo printed into a genuine Waterhog entrance mat keeps working long after the first impression lands.
What a Printed Waterhog Logo Mat Does Before Grit Reaches Your Floor
Every entrance makes two impressions at once — what visitors see, and what their shoes leave behind. A printed Waterhog logo mat handles both. The bi-level surface scrapes dirt and moisture off shoes and drops it down between the raised nubs, below shoe level, so it stays in the mat instead of tracking across your lobby.
The raised water-dam border holds that moisture in — up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard — so the floor behind it stays dry. Your logo sits on a surface that's actually doing the cleaning, not just decorating the doorway.
Why This Construction Holds Up Where a Promo Mat Won't
The surface is a 30 oz/yd² PET polyester fiber, needle-punched into the raised Waterhog nub pattern and bonded to a molded nitrile rubber backing. The reinforced rubber nubs are what keep the pile from crushing flat under traffic — the usual way a logo mat dies, with the print going patchy as the surface mats down. Here the nubs hold the pile up, so the image stays crisp and the mat keeps scraping.
The logo is built up through a color-layering print process rather than sitting on top as a coating, and the PET fiber is made largely from recycled plastic — up to 85% recycled content. The nitrile backing resists curling and cracking in heat or cold, which is what lets the same mat work at an indoor lobby or a covered outdoor entrance.
Where It Belongs — and What It Isn't
This is a commercial entrance mat first and a sign second. It earns its place at front doors, lobbies, reception areas, and front desks — anywhere in hotels, retail, restaurants, offices, schools, and healthcare where the first thing a visitor meets is the floor. Pick smooth backing for hard floors and cleated backing for carpet.
What it isn't is a canvas for fine detail. The print reproduces bold logos, lettering, and clean shapes — not photographic gradients, tiny text, or thin hairlines. Text should be at least 1.5 inches tall and lines at least a quarter-inch thick.

The Waterhog Elite Herringbone is a bi-level entrance mat built to pull dirt and water off shoes and keep them off your floor. Raised nubs scrape debris and moisture down below foot level, while a raised water-dam border around the edge holds the runoff on the mat instead of letting it spread onto the floor. The herringbone face gives it an upscale look right at the door.
What the Waterhog Elite Herringbone Does Before Water Reaches Your Floor
Most of a building's dirt and water walks in on shoes at the entrance — ISSA research puts the bulk of it right at the door. This mat's bi-level surface scrapes that grit and moisture off and drops it below the level your shoe touches, so it stays in the mat instead of riding onto the floor. A raised water-dam border around the edge keeps the trapped water from running off, which is what stops a slick spot from forming at the threshold.
Why Recycled PET and a Bi-Level Face, and Why This One
The face is solution-dyed PET — a polyester made from recycled plastic drink bottles, at least 90% recycled content — woven into a dense herringbone at about 30 ounces per square yard. Solution-dyed means the color is locked into the fiber, so it resists staining and will not fade or rot. The raised nubs that do the scraping are reinforced with rubber, so the pile does not crush flat under steady traffic.
Underneath, the SBR rubber backing — a synthetic rubber — contains about 20% recycled rubber from car tires, and comes in a smooth or a cleated version. The mat is certified high-traction by the National Floor Safety Institute, and beveled edges ease the step up onto it. The water-dam border holds up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard before it overflows.
Where It Belongs, and What It Is Not
This is an entrance mat for the front of the building — lobbies, office and retail entries, hotels, and restaurants, indoors or out — where you want both performance and a finished look. The herringbone face and recycled build earn it a place in our range of water-capture entrance matting, where the job is holding tracked-in water on the mat and off the floor.
What it is not is a mat for a kitchen or a fuel or service bay — the PET fiber should not sit in areas exposed to animal fats or petroleum, which break it down. It is also a single stage: it traps a lot, but in a downpour or very heavy traffic, pairing it with a second mat just inside keeps the floor beyond it dry.
Three Things to Check Before You Spec It
First, choose the border. The classic border is rubber — rugged, and the better pick for an exposed outdoor or high-abuse entrance. The fashion border is fabric, wrapped in the same recycled material as the face, for a more finished look in a lobby or retail space. Both come in a range of seven colors, so you can match the mat to the floor or the décor.
Second, match the backing to the floor. The cleated backing grips a carpeted surface and resists shifting, while the smooth backing sits flat on hard floors like tile or stone. Picking the wrong one is the usual reason a mat creeps or wrinkles underfoot.
Third, size it to the entrance. It comes in a range of standard sizes and can be made to order in whole-foot lengths up to sixty feet, for a long approach or a wide doorway. Aim for enough length that a person takes several steps across the mat — that is what gives the nubs the chance to clean the whole sole.
Why Mats Inc.
We have specified entrance matting since 1964, and a performance mat like this only pays off when it is matched to the entrance. We will help you weigh the classic border against the fashion border, pick the backing for your floor, choose from the seven colors, and size it to the doorway so it traps what it should. Tell us the entrance and we will spec it to fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Waterhog Elite Herringbone made of?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
The face is solution-dyed PET — a polyester woven from recycled plastic drink bottles, at least 90 percent recycled content — set in a herringbone pattern at about 30 ounces per square yard. The raised nubs that do the scraping are reinforced with rubber so the pile will not crush flat under traffic. Underneath is an SBR rubber backing, a synthetic rubber, made with about 20 percent recycled rubber from car tires. That recycled content may also count toward LEED credits, depending on the rating version and the project.
How much water does it hold, and how slip-safe is it?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
The raised water-dam border around the edge holds up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard before it overflows, which keeps tracked-in rain and snowmelt on the mat instead of pooling on your floor. The surface is certified high-traction by the National Floor Safety Institute, and the beveled edges give a safe transition from the floor up onto the mat. Because the PET is solution-dyed, it resists staining and will not fade or rot, and it stands up to salt and ice melt without breaking down — useful through a hard winter.
Should I get smooth or cleated backing, and where can I use it?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
The cleated backing grips a carpeted floor and resists shifting; the smooth backing lays flat on hard surfaces like tile or stone — match it to whatever the mat will sit on. The mat works indoors or out at an entrance. The one place to avoid is anywhere exposed to animal fats, like a commercial kitchen, or to petroleum products, since those break down the PET fiber over time.
What sizes does it come in?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
It comes in a range of standard sizes for typical doorways, and it can be made to order in whole-foot lengths up to sixty feet — handy for a long entry approach or a wide double-door opening. The thing to aim for is enough length that someone takes several steps across the mat, because that is what lets the nubs clean the whole sole rather than just clipping it. Send the opening dimensions and the walking path, and we will point you to the right size.
What colors and border styles are available?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
There are seven colors to choose from, and two border styles. The classic border is rubber — clean and rugged, the usual pick for an outdoor or heavy-duty entrance. The fashion border is fabric, wrapped in the same recycled material as the face, for a softer, more finished edge that suits a lobby or retail floor. The herringbone face pattern gives either version an upscale look, rather than the plain appearance of a basic utility mat.
Will it look right at a customer-facing entrance?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Yes — the herringbone pattern and the fabric fashion border are what set this mat apart from a plain entrance mat, so it reads as intentional in an office lobby, a hotel, a restaurant, or a retail entry. If the entrance is more exposed or takes rougher use, the rubber classic border holds up better outdoors while still looking finished. Either way, you get a mat that performs like a workhorse but does not look like one.
