Doormats

How a Doormat Boosts the Health of your Home

A doormat will not only enhance an entryway by creating an attractive welcome to your home or office, it’ll also provides a host of other health and domestic benefits. Please read on for some the most important reasons for adding a mat to your doorway.

Safety: Whether your porch or entrance is fully covered or open to the elements, an entrance mat is enormously helpful in preventing slips and falls. Even if rainfall doesn’t puddle in your entryway, mud and water can be tracked in from the outside, creating hazardous and slippery areas. Our recycled rubber and turf mats have been designed with good grip underside to help mitigate any risk of mishaps.

Cleanliness: This is probably the most obvious benefit of using a doormat and it goes without saying that it’s the first “line of defence” when it comes to keeping dirt, mud and sand on the outside and not in the home, classroom or office. Even when your home is a caravan or tent in the great outdoors, a muk mat or Recycled Mats turf mat is ideal for brushing the dirt off your feet or shoes before stepping inside.

Maintenance: If you can keep the dirt at the door, it prevents the bulk of it from being tracked inside and therefore easing the burden on your carpets, rugs, floors and eventually furniture. This of course helps to reduce the amount of vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping that’s required to clean and protect your floors so a doormat can be energy, time and money-saving!

Air Quality: Contaminants and dust are easily trapped in the fibres of rugs and carpets which when stirred up by foot traffic or vacuuming can become a real issue for anyone with asthma, allergies or other sensitivities. As these potentially irritating chemicals and particles can be tracked inside a room on footwear, a doormat can be a big help in keeping them out of the home.

Our Range

We offer two styles of door mat in our range – recycled rubber and turf mats.

The rubber used in many of our door mats - sourced from discarded car tyres - is mixed with PET plastics which are found in water bottles and shopping bags. Each mat is cut to size and expertly printed in Australia using non-toxic, eco-friendly methods resulting in vibrant, long-lasting designs.

The mats are then treated with Stainguard to protect them from exposure to the weather as well as spills and staining – this makes them super easy to keep clean and ensures their durability.

Our turf mats are made from recycled plastic and are ideal for brushing feet and shoes to remove sand and mud. Designed to mimic turf, these fake grass doormats - in either green or black - are incredibly effective at keeping the dirt where it belongs….outside! With several sizes and shapes to choose from, we’ve got a mat for every doorway.

Together with our door mats, we also stock our hugely popular outdoor plastic mats, folding picnic tables, cushions covers, sand-free mats and towels, yoga mats and other camping accessories, all of which are either comprised of recycled materials or eco-friendly in their manufacture and use.
