Portico Systems Commercial Flooring & Entrance Mats

Super Berber Matting is a dense berber entrance mat that does the two hardest jobs at a busy door at once: it scrapes grit off shoes and soaks up the moisture they carry. The needle-punch berber surface is solution-dyed in up to 40 colors, and a custom logo can be inlaid right into it — so it cleans the entrance and carries the brand in the same mat.

What Super Berber Does Before Dirt and Water Reach the Floor

At a busy entrance, dirt and water arrive on shoes — ISSA research shows the door is where most of a building's dirt comes in. Left to cross the threshold, that grit grinds at the floor and wet shoes leave a lobby slick. The dense berber pile catches both: it scrapes solids loose and holds moisture in the fiber, while the all-weather rubber backing keeps the mat planted, so the dirt and water stay on the mat, not the floor.

Why Solution-Dyed Berber, and Why This One

The mat is built from 100% solution-dyed polypropylene berber, needle-punched into a dense half-inch pile that weighs about 52 ounces per square yard. Solution-dyed means the color is locked into the fiber rather than printed on top, so it does not bleach or wear pale. The polypropylene is UV- and abrasion-resistant, which is what lets the mat hold its look under heavy traffic and sun.

Of the two jobs an entrance mat does, this one leans toward wiping — the deep pile is built to pull moisture and fine dirt off shoes and keep it there, with strong scraping behind it. An all-weather rubber backing grips the floor and stands up to wet conditions, so the mat works at an interior lobby or a covered outdoor entrance alike.

Where It Belongs, and What It Is Not

Super Berber fits heavy-traffic entrances where appearance counts as much as cleaning — office buildings, shops, lobbies, schools, airports, and sport concourses. It works indoors or at a covered outdoor entrance, and it sits in our range of moisture-control entrance matting as the absorbent option that traps water in the pile rather than channeling it away.

What it is not is a drainage grid or a heavy-mud scraper. It holds the moisture it collects, so where standing water has to drain off, an open grid mat is the better tool — and where shoes arrive caked in mud, a coarse scraper out front will spare the pile. Super Berber is the mat that finishes the job: wiping shoes clean and dry once the worst is knocked off.

Three Things to Check Before You Spec It

First, decide what the door mostly throws at it. If the entrance is about moisture and a clean, finished look, Super Berber is built for exactly that. If shoes arrive heavy with mud or grit, set a coarse scraper ahead of it so the berber handles the wiping rather than clogging with debris it was not meant to take alone.

Second, size it and pick the edge. It comes in standard mats up to four by fourteen feet, in rolls, or custom-cut to your dimensions — up to thirteen feet two inches wide and inlaid runs to a hundred feet. Borders can be heat-sealed, square-cut, or beveled, and custom shapes are on the table if the entrance calls for one.

Third, plan the logo and colors early. The logo is needle-punched into the pile from a palette of up to 40 colors, so it needs camera-ready artwork before a quote. One thing to know up front: this construction does not do exact PMS brand-color matching — you choose from the 40 — so check that your colors are covered before you commit.

Why Mats Inc.

We have specified entrance matting since 1964, and a logo mat only works if the artwork, the colors, and the size are right before it is made. We take your logo, match it to the available colors, confirm the size and border, and lay out the inlay — so the mat that arrives cleans the entrance and reads as your brand, not a near-miss. Send your artwork and we will start there.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Super Berber Matting made of?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It is built from 100% solution-dyed polypropylene berber, needle-punched into a dense half-inch pile of about 52 ounces per square yard, over an all-weather rubber backing. Solution-dyed means the color runs through each fiber instead of sitting on the surface, so it resists fading and bleaching. The polypropylene is UV- and abrasion-resistant, which is what lets the mat keep its look under heavy traffic, indoors or at a covered outdoor entrance.

How much traffic can it take, and how well does it handle water?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It is rated for heavy traffic, and wiping is its strong suit — the deep berber pile is built to pull moisture and fine dirt off shoes and hold it down in the fiber, away from the floor. The solution-dyed, UV- and abrasion-resistant construction keeps it from looking worn or faded as the traffic adds up. Like any pile mat, it performs best when it is vacuumed regularly and washed when it needs it, so the trapped soil does not pack down into the pile.

Is it a scraper or a wiper, and where should I place it?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It does both, but it leans wiper — it is at its best absorbing moisture and fine grit rather than knocking off heavy mud. Place it where it covers the full walking path so shoes take several steps on it. If the entrance sees heavy mud or sand, put a coarse scraper mat outside the door first and let Super Berber do the wiping inside; that two-stage setup keeps the pile from clogging and keeps the floor beyond it clean and dry.

Can you inlay our logo, and how sharp will it look?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Yes — the logo is needle-punched right into the berber pile, not printed on top, so it wears in with the mat instead of scuffing off. It is one of the largest custom logo mats made, which gives a logo room to read cleanly at the door, and custom shapes are possible if you want the mat itself to follow a form. We do need camera-ready artwork before quoting, so the inlay is laid out accurately from the start.

What colors can we get, and can you match our exact brand color?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

There are up to 40 colors to build the base and the logo from, which covers most brand palettes. The one honest limit to flag: this construction does not offer exact PMS brand-color matching — you choose from the 40 standard colors rather than a custom-mixed shade. Because the colors are solution-dyed into the fiber, whatever you pick holds up without fading. Send your brand colors and we will confirm the closest matches before anything is made.

Will it still look professional after a season of heavy use?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

That is what the solution-dyed berber is for. With the color locked into the fiber and the polypropylene resisting UV and abrasion, the mat holds its appearance far better than a surface-printed mat, which tends to go pale and tired at a busy door. The berber texture reads clean and upscale rather than utilitarian, so it suits a lobby or storefront where the entrance is part of the first impression.

By Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing, Mats Inc.

Chevron Matting is an indoor entrance mat that catches grit and pulls moisture off shoes a few steps inside the door, before either reaches your floor. Its V-pattern surface works traffic coming from any direction, and a crush-resistant face keeps it doing that job for years instead of matting down and looking tired after one busy season.

What Chevron Matting Does Before Dirt Reaches Your Floor

Most of the dirt and water in a building arrives on shoes. ISSA field data shows a building takes on up to 12 times more dirt during wet weather, and it takes six to eight steps to walk a sole dry. An interior mat in that landing zone is what decides whether grit and moisture get caught — or get ground into your floor.

Chevron does two jobs at once. The raised V-pattern scrapes coarser grit off the shoe, and the polypropylene face soaks up and holds moisture so it isn't tracked deeper inside. It leans toward moisture pickup more than heavy scraping, which is what an interior entrance needs once the worst of the outdoor debris is already off.

Why This Construction, and Why This One

The face is needle-punched polypropylene, about 18 ounces per square yard, made with 50% recycled content. The V-pattern isn't only decorative — it gives the mat multi-directional bite, so it works whether people cross it straight on or at an angle, which is how foot traffic actually moves through a doorway.

The surface is built to resist crushing. That matters more than it sounds: a matted-down mat stops standing up to clean shoes and starts showing every traffic lane, which is the usual reason an interior mat looks worn and gets pulled. A crush-resistant face holds its texture and hides foot-traffic patterns longer.

Underneath is a DINP-free PVC vinyl backing that grips the floor and protects it from the mat itself — no bleed-through, no staining the surface below. It's the kind of backing that lets the mat sit flat on a hard floor or low carpet without curling or sliding.

Where Chevron Belongs (and Where It Doesn't)

This is an interior, medium-traffic mat. It fits office building lobbies, small retail floors, banks, postal counters, motels, and similar spaces — places where people are already mostly indoors and you want the floor to stay clean and dry. It's also certified high-traction by the National Floor Safety Institute, which is the reassurance you want on the wet side of an entrance.

It is not an aggressive outdoor scraper for mud, snowmelt, or gravel, and it isn't a boot brush for a job-site door. Put it where the heaviest debris has already come off outside — as the interior mat in a two-mat system — not as the first line against a parking lot. Used that way it finishes the job; used outdoors against raw grit, it gives up its look fast.

Three Things to Check Before You Spec It

Three things decide whether Chevron is the right mat for your door.

First, where it sits in the system. Chevron is built for the interior landing, not the coarse outdoor scraper that takes the first hit. If you only have room for one mat against heavy outdoor debris, this isn't it; if you're finishing the job a few steps inside, it's built for exactly that.

Second, the size of the run. It comes in standard sizes from 2'×3' up to 6'×10', plus 60-foot rolls you can cut to a custom length. Size it for the six-to-eight steps it takes to dry a sole, not just the door opening — a mat that ends too soon lets damp shoes finish the job on your floor.

Third, the floor under it. The vinyl backing is made to protect the floor and stay put on hard surfaces and low carpet. On very high or plush carpet it won't sit as flat, so confirm the surface before you order, and order edged ends if the mat will sit out in the open rather than wall-to-wall.

Why Mats Inc.

Mats Inc. has specified commercial matting since 1964, so when you ask where a mat like this fits in your entrance, you're talking to people who lay out matting systems for a living rather than reading a spec sheet back to you. We help you match the mat to the traffic and the floor, size the run to the doorway, and tell you honestly when a different construction would hold up better. For the rest of the range, start with our commercial entrance mats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Chevron scrape dirt or absorb moisture?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It does both, but it's stronger at moisture. The raised V-pattern knocks medium grit off the bottom of a shoe, and the polypropylene face soaks up and holds the moisture that's left so it isn't tracked deeper inside. That balance is exactly what an interior entrance needs: by the time someone is a few steps inside, the heavy outdoor debris is mostly gone, and what's left is damp shoes and fine dirt — which is what this surface is built to handle.

How long does it hold up, and what wears it out?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

In a medium-traffic interior spot, expect years of service. This V-pattern is a long-proven construction, not an unknown. The thing that ends an interior mat's life early is pile crush: once the surface mats down, it stops cleaning shoes and every traffic lane starts to show.

Chevron's surface is built to resist that crushing, so it holds its texture and hides foot-traffic patterns longer than a softer mat. What shortens its life is using it outdoors against raw grit, or sizing it too small so a few square feet take all the traffic.

Can I use it outside the front door?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Better not. Chevron is an interior, medium-traffic mat — its job is the landing a few steps inside the door, after the worst outdoor debris is already off. Outdoors against mud, gravel, and snowmelt the surface loads up and mats down fast, and it isn't built to take constant weather. The right setup is a coarse scraper outside and Chevron just inside to finish the job; that two-mat approach keeps far more dirt and water off your floor than one mat trying to do everything.

What sizes can I get, and how do I pick one?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Standard sizes run from 2'×3' up to 6'×10', and it also comes in 60-foot rolls that can be cut to a custom length for a long entry or a specific opening. If you don't see your size, a custom cut is available.

To pick one, measure the walking path, not just the door. Aim to cover the six-to-eight steps it takes to dry a sole, so size toward the larger end if the doorway is busy. If the mat will sit out in the open instead of running wall-to-wall, order edged ends so it lies clean.

What does it look like, and will it show dirt?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

It has a clean, decorative V-pattern rather than a plain ribbed look, so it reads as finished rather than industrial. There are five colors — Steel Blue, Brown, Burgundy, Charcoal, and Forest Green — and the darker tones like Charcoal and Burgundy are good at hiding fine dirt between cleanings. The crush-resistant surface helps here too: because it doesn't mat down into shiny lanes, it keeps looking even across the whole mat instead of showing where everyone walks.

Can I get a custom size or match it to our space?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Yes on size — the rolls cut to custom lengths, so you can fit an odd opening or a long entry run. Color choice lets you tie it to an interior scheme: pick a tone that works with the floor and the lobby rather than fighting them. If you specifically want a logo or printed artwork at the door, that's a different construction — an image or logo mat — so let us know and we'll point you to the right one. Chevron itself is about clean, patterned coverage, not custom print.
