Outdoor Welcome Mats for the Right Ambiance

Doesn’t it just annoy you when people track dirt into your premises? You spend so much time cleaning your floors, only for visitors to dirty them again. However, there is a solution for that: outdoor welcome mats. 

Outdoor welcome mats give an aesthetic touch to your surroundings and provide a warm and welcoming gesture to your guests, whether at home or the office. 

Replacing your traditional rug with a custom outdoor welcome mat will bring many functional benefits like keeping your premises visually appealing, safe and clean. But before you splurge on welcome outdoor door mats, check out the ideal locations for placing them and what more they offer.

Custom Outdoor Mats are Versatile

Exterior welcome mats enhance the look of your doorways and make a lovely addition to the decor of your building. This is especially advantageous if you place a high value on your home or business’s aesthetic and practical appeal. 

Thanks to the distinctive feel of custom door mats, they can blend in with all kinds of environments. You can place them in your garden along the pathways or include directions in the mats to point toward specific locations. 

Another great location to put these custom welcome rugs is your patio. Design them to reflect your personality and create a cozy and homely environment for your guests on a Sunday brunch or barbecue. 

You can also place an outdoor rug outside your shop, office, storefront, or hallways. With eye-catching logos, designs, and creative styles, welcome mats will catch your guest’s eyes, creating a gratifying first impression of your establishment.

Keep Your Flooring In Optimal Condition

If your office or business is in an area with increased rain or snowfall, you should place a mat outside your door. Otherwise, visitors or employees are likelier to walk inside the premises with soiled shoes. 

Everything from mud, sand, snow, and even tiny insects can collect at the bottom of the shoes. Suppose your guests walk around your premises wearing them. In that case, it can damage and dirty your floor.

Placing custom door mats outside your building will encourage your visitors to wipe their shoes on them before entering. Your doorway is the primary spot of your company and receives the heaviest foot traffic all day. 

However, with a doormat to cushion the impact of this traffic, your flooring can be protected. A dented or scratched floor detracts from the professional image you wish to portray for your brand and won’t help you with customer engagement. 

However, custom door mats such as Waterhog Logo Outdoor Mats can prevent your flooring from wear and tear as they will bear all your heavy foot traffic. • Waterhog Inlay mats are made of 100% US Polypropylene fabric material and will not fade in the

sun and holds up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard, keeping moisture on the mat and off your floors.

Protect Your Indoor Air Quality From Contaminants

study suggests that indoor allergens like dust mites and mold are the leading causes of asthma-related diseases. Tiny mud particles get deeply lodged into the carpet fibers when someone treads in your house or office with soiled shoes. 

These particles encourage the growth of mildew and mold that are more challenging to clean. Besides, dirty carpeting is not only restricted to looking repulsive but is also a source of potential disease-causing allergens. The allergens can worsen the symptoms of someone with respiratory disease or other sensitivities.

Also, dried mud is difficult to clean from carpeting. Your carpet cleaning service bill can skyrocket when guests frequently track dirt inside. If you have carpeted floors placing a custo9m outdoor welcome mat at the entrance will prevent visitors from tracking dirt on your carpeting. 

Thus protecting them from contaminants, helping you retain a high indoor air quality, and saving you money on frequent carpet cleaning.

Their fiber neither traps nor releases contaminants into the air, protecting them against mold growth. They are also UV resistant preventing them from fading out from harsh sunlight. 

Avert Slips and Injuries

One of the primary benefits of placing an outdoor welcome rug outside your building is to prevent accidental falls. Rainy weather or snowfall means your visitors will trudge slush and water inside, forming wet puddles on the floors. 

 The water tracked in increases the hazard of slips and wounds. After all, when visiting your establishment, you never want someone to slip and fall.

A wet floor will increase the chances of injuring your guests and leave a wrong impression of your business. However, custom outdoor mats like SuperScrape Impressions Outdoor Logo Mats are made from moisture-absorbing and dirt-scraping material. So placing them at the entrance will help absorb excess water and mud from the shoes, leaving your floor spotless and dry.

Moreover, these high-quality outdoor rugs have an anti-slip backing. Even if someone steps on them incorrectly, they have a good grip that won’t allow them to skid on the surface. Regardless of the type of flooring, they can eliminate the hazard of slips and falls for you, your family members, visitors, and employees.
