Description
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.
