Description
Brush Hog Mats put a coarse, brush-like nylon surface at the door — the kind of aggressive scraping a wet or muddy outdoor entrance needs. The stiff turf-pile fibers strip dirt and water off shoes and filter both down below the surface, while drainable borders carry water off the mat. It is built for outdoor entryways where keeping grit outside the building is the whole job.
What Brush Hog Does Before Dirt Tracks Inside
An outdoor entrance is where a building's dirt arrives — ISSA research shows most of it comes in on shoes at the door. A coarse scraper like Brush Hog takes that grit off early and filters it down below the pile, so it does not ride across the floor inside. The drainable borders let rain and snowmelt run off the mat instead of pooling on top, which keeps the surface working in wet weather rather than turning into a puddle at the threshold.
Why Coarse Turf-Pile Nylon, and Why This One
The scraping surface is extra-coarse solution-dyed nylon in a dense turf pile, weighing about 26 ounces per square yard over a 3/8-inch-thick mat. The stiff fiber is what does the scraping, and because it is solution-dyed — the color locked into the fiber — it does not fade in sunlight the way a surface-dyed mat would after a season outdoors.
Underneath is an SBR rubber backing — a synthetic rubber — that holds the mat in place, and it is made with 20% recycled rubber reclaimed from car tires. The mat is certified high-traction by the National Floor Safety Institute and passes the DOC-FF1-70 surface-flammability standard. It comes with a smooth backing as standard, or a cleated backing that grips a carpeted floor.
Where It Belongs, and What It Is Not
Brush Hog is built for outdoor building entrances — the first mat a shoe hits, where the job is stripping off the worst of the dirt and water. The drainable borders and below-surface filtering make it a fit for wet, exposed thresholds, and it sits in our range of moisture-control entrance matting as the coarse scraper that keeps grit and standing water off the floor inside.
What it is not is a wiper or a soft, finished mat. The coarse pile is aggressive by design, so it scrapes far better than it dries — pair it with an absorbent mat just inside to take the moisture off shoes once Brush Hog has done the rough work. Its look is purely functional, which suits a service or exterior entrance more than a polished lobby.
Three Things to Check Before You Spec It
First, pick the backing for the floor it sits on. The standard smooth backing is right for a hard outdoor surface. If the mat will sit on carpet or you want extra hold against shifting, the cleated backing grips better. One limit to note: mats longer than 40 feet come only with the smooth backing.
Second, size it to the traffic path. It comes in a wide range of standard sizes, and in custom widths of three, four, or six feet cut to length up to sixty feet. Size it so shoes take several steps across the pile — a mat too short for the path lets feet skip the scraping surface entirely.
Third, plan it as the first stage, not the only one. Brush Hog scrapes and filters outside; it does not dry feet on its own. Set an absorbent mat just inside the door so the scraper knocks off the grit and water and the second mat takes whatever moisture is left, keeping the floor beyond it clean and dry.
Why Mats Inc.
We have specified entrance matting since 1964, and an outdoor scraper only works if it is matched to the door and the floor. We will help you weigh smooth against cleated backing, size the mat to the traffic path, and set it up as the first stage in a two-mat system so the dirt stops outside. Tell us the entrance and we will spec it to fit.
