Commercial Entrance Mat Sizing and Ordering Guide
Size commercial entrance mats with a 3-zone system: a scraper mat outside, a scraper/wiper mat in the vestibule, and an absorbent wiper mat inside. Each mat should be at least as wide as the doorway, so people can't step around it, and long enough that every visitor takes several steps on matting. Measure recessed wells exactly. For anything unusual, email info@legendarymats.com for a quote.
Most commercial and stock mats ship within 3 to 5 business days, primarily from our facilities in Virginia and Texas, and shipping is free within the contiguous US. If you need an order faster, email info@legendarymats.com to ask about expediting. Every logo mat includes a free mockup/proof.
The 3-zone entrance system
| Zone | Job | Example mats |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Outside | Scrape off mud, snow and grit | Rubber Tire Link Mat, Flexible Steel Link Mat, Vinyl Link Mats |
| 2. Vestibule / door | Scrape and start drying | WaterHog Classic, WaterHog Diamond, berber logo mat |
| 3. Inside | Absorb remaining water and fine dirt | Olefin Commercial Floor Mat, Wonder Pro Olefin Mat, Needle Rib Mat |
How to measure
- Width. Measure the full door opening, including double doors and sidelights. The mat should be at least that wide.
- Length. Measure the walking path from the door inward. Longer is better in wet or snowy climates and in high-traffic buildings.
- Recessed wells. Measure length, width and depth at several points. Recessed options include WaterHog Carpet Tiles, Cocoa Matting and berber or coco logo mats.
- Door clearance. Check that the door swings freely over the mat's thickness.
- Edges. Choose beveled edges for surface-laid mats where carts, wheelchairs or strollers cross.

Frequently asked questions

Zone 1 outside scrapes off heavy dirt and snow, zone 2 at the door scrapes and starts drying, and zone 3 inside absorbs the remaining water and fine dirt.
