Description
Supreme Berber inlay logo mats from Universal Floor Mats combine exceptional durability with razor-sharp custom branding to create entrance solutions built for the most demanding commercial environments. These heavy-duty long-lasting logo mats are made for moderate to extremely heavy traffic applications where inferior mats fail. Your logo will be inlaid with razor-sharp precision in a Supreme Berber mat during our meticulous inlay process—the area that will display your logo is cut from the mat and appropriate colors are inlaid in the cut-out, just like a jigsaw puzzle. This creates crisp, defined lines and premium logo quality that digitally printed alternatives cannot match.
The needle-punched construction creates a dense, heavy 54 oz per square yard polypropylene Berber carpet surface engineered to deliver ultimate scraper and wiper performance in one mat. The bi-level hobnail pattern construction features raised surfaces that wipe shoes clean while recessed areas trap dirt, sand, moisture, and debris below the walking surface—keeping your floors clean and preventing tracked-in soil from spreading throughout your facility. This coarse, solution-dyed fiber surface effectively cleans moisture and dirt from shoes while hiding the appearance of walking patterns, maintaining professional appearance even in extremely high-traffic areas.
Universal Floor Mats constructs Supreme Berber inlay logo mats with premium composite rubber backing that provides 1/2 inch (14mm) total thickness—delivering substantial feel and durability while the heavy-duty thick beveled edges ensure smooth transitions from the floor to the mat, preventing tripping and falling. The 93 oz total finished weight creates a mat that stays firmly in place without shifting, curling, or bunching. These are UV-resistant mats that fight color fade, making them ideal for exposed outdoor applications like covered building entrances, outdoor walkways, and areas with direct sunlight exposure. Made in the USA, Supreme Berber mats can be manufactured in virtually any length and custom shape to fit your specific entrance configuration perfectly.

FAQs
Supreme Berber inlay logo mats use a precision cut-and-inlay process where your logo area is physically cut from the base mat and appropriate colors are inlaid into the cutout, just like a jigsaw puzzle. This creates razor-sharp definition with crisp, clean edges that digitally printed or heat-transferred logos cannot achieve. The logo becomes an integral part of the mat structure rather than a surface application—it will never peel, fade quickly, or separate. The heavy 54 oz Berber carpet provides superior durability compared to lighter-weight printed alternatives.
Absolutely. Supreme Berber inlay logo mats are specifically designed for moderate to extremely heavy commercial traffic applications. The needle-punched 54 oz/sq. yard polypropylene construction creates dense, tightly-compacted carpet that resists crushing under sustained heavy foot traffic. The 93 oz total finished weight and 1/2" thickness provide substantial durability. With proper maintenance, these mats deliver 5-7+ years of performance in demanding commercial environments like hotel lobbies, corporate headquarters, and high-traffic retail.
Bi-level construction refers to the hobnail Berber surface pattern that features raised surfaces and recessed areas. The raised surfaces actively wipe and scrape shoes clean, while the recessed areas trap dirt, sand, moisture, and debris below the walking surface. This prevents tracked-in soil from spreading across your floors—the dirt stays trapped within the mat structure rather than being carried into your facility. This dual scraper-and-wiper functionality in one mat is more effective than single-function alternatives.
Supreme Berber inlay logo mats are UV-resistant and suitable for covered outdoor applications such as building entrances with awnings or overhangs, covered walkways, vestibules, and areas with roof protection. The UV-stabilized polypropylene fibers resist sun-caused fading. However, these mats are not recommended for uncovered direct rain or snow exposure for extended periods. For best longevity, use in covered outdoor spaces or indoor applications.
The solution-dyed polypropylene fibers have color integrated throughout the entire fiber (not surface-dyed), providing excellent lightfastness. The mat achieves ISO 105 B02 Rating 5 (highest) for color fastness to light. The UV-stabilized formulation further resists fading. Logos maintain vibrant appearance even in sunlit lobbies, entrances with window exposure, and covered outdoor applications with direct sunlight. This is superior to surface-dyed or printed alternatives that fade quickly.
The precision inlay process works like a jigsaw puzzle. First, we create a cutting template from your logo artwork. Then we cut the logo area from the base mat color. Next, we cut matching logo pieces from the appropriate colors of Berber carpet. Finally, we inlay these colored pieces into the cutout areas, fitting them together like jigsaw pieces. The result is razor-sharp logo definition with crisp edges and seamless color transitions. This mechanical precision creates superior clarity compared to printing methods.
Yes! The precision inlay process handles intricate logos, detailed text, multi-color designs, and complex branding elements. The cut-and-inlay method creates defined lines and sharp edges even in small details. We can accommodate logos with multiple colors, gradients achieved through color placement, fine text, and complex geometric shapes. Vector artwork files (AI, EPS, PDF) provide optimal results for detailed designs, though high-resolution raster files also work well.
We recommend vector graphic files for best results: AI (Adobe Illustrator), EPS, or PDF are ideal. Vector files maintain clarity at any size and provide clean cut lines. We also accept high-resolution raster files: JPG, PNG, or TIFF at 300+ DPI resolution. Camera-ready artwork is required before we can issue a quote. Our design team will review your artwork and communicate if any adjustments are needed for optimal inlay results.
Yes! An artist's proof of your logo floor mat will be emailed to you for approval before production begins. The digital proof shows exactly how your logo will appear inlaid in the mat, including colors, sizing, and placement. You can request revisions to perfect the design. Production only begins after you approve the proof. This ensures you're completely satisfied with the logo appearance before we manufacture your custom mat.
The precision inlay process accommodates virtually unlimited colors. Unlike printing methods limited by color counts, the cut-and-inlay technique allows us to use as many different Berber carpet colors as your logo requires. Multi-color logos, complex branding with numerous color elements, and detailed designs are all achievable. We'll work with you to match your brand colors as closely as possible from available Berber carpet colors.
Supreme Berber inlay logo mats can be manufactured up to 13 feet 2 inches wide and up to 100 feet long. This accommodates even the largest commercial lobbies and extended walkways. We can create massive single-piece mats or coordinate multiple mats for truly oversized spaces. The substantial 93 oz weight prevents shifting even in extra-large sizes. If you have an unusually large entrance, we'll work with you to create the ideal solution.
Absolutely! Supreme Berber mats can be manufactured in virtually any custom shape. We accommodate curved edges, angled corners, notched areas for obstacles, cut-outs for columns or security gates, half-moon shapes, and highly complex configurations. Our precision cutting capabilities handle intricate shapes that standard rectangular mats cannot address. Provide us with measurements or templates of your entrance, and we'll fabricate exactly what you need.
Rubber backing naturally expands and contracts slightly with temperature and time. Hot conditions cause minor expansion; cold conditions cause minor contraction. This is inherent in all rubber-backed mats and not a defect. The tolerable manufacturing size variance is 3-5%. For example, a 4'x6' mat might measure 3'10" to 4'2" wide depending on temperature at measurement. This variance is industry-standard for rubber-backed products.
Yes. The heavy-duty thick beveled rubber edging extends approximately 2 inches from the carpet surface on all sides and tapers down to the floor from the full height of the mat. This beveling is included to meet ADA-compliant guidelines and prevent tripping hazards. When measuring for tight spaces, account for this 2" perimeter extension beyond the carpet area. The beveled edges are essential for safety and professional appearance.
Daily maintenance requires commercial-grade vacuuming with a beater bar in multiple directions to lift trapped soil from the bi-level surface. For spot cleaning, use mild carpet cleaner applied to a cloth (not directly on mat), gently blot stains without scrubbing, and rinse with damp cloth. For deep cleaning monthly or as needed, use carpet extraction cleaning machines with polypropylene-appropriate solutions. For quarterly deep cleaning, commercial laundering services provide the most thorough soil removal.
Yes! Supreme Berber inlay logo mats respond well to carpet extraction cleaning machines. Use commercial carpet cleaning solutions formulated for polypropylene fibers. Avoid over-wetting—extract thoroughly to remove cleaning solution and suspended soil. The mat must dry completely before returning to service. Hang vertically or lay flat in well-ventilated area for 8-24 hours drying time. Extraction cleaning effectively maintains appearance between commercial laundering services.
Yes, Supreme Berber inlay logo mats can be commercially laundered for the deepest possible cleaning. Professional commercial laundry services familiar with logo mats can safely clean these using mild pH-neutral detergents, water temperature 120-140°F maximum, and low-heat tumble drying or air drying. Avoid harsh alkaline cleaners or bleach. Commercial laundering quarterly or semi-annually removes deeply embedded soil, eliminates odors, and maintains like-new appearance through years of service.
No. The precision inlay process creates logos that are integral to the mat structure—the colors are physically inlaid into the mat, not surface-applied. The logo withstands vacuuming, spot cleaning, extraction cleaning, and commercial laundering without damage. During spot cleaning, use gentle blotting around logo areas rather than aggressive scrubbing. The inlaid construction is extremely durable, but careful cleaning around detailed logo areas helps maintain razor-sharp definition.
The 93 oz total finished weight (78 oz/sq. yard) combined with the premium composite rubber backing creates exceptional stability. Supreme Berber inlay logo mats stay firmly in place without shifting, sliding, bunching, or curling under normal commercial traffic. The substantial weight and rubber grip prevent movement that plagues lighter mats. In extremely high-wind outdoor locations, the mat's weight still provides excellent stabilit
Yes. The 1/2" total thickness with gradual beveled edges meets ADA-compliant guidelines. Wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility devices traverse these mats easily without impedance. The hobnail Berber surface provides traction without creating obstacles for wheels. High heels won't get caught in the surface pattern. The smooth transition from floor to mat via beveled edges ensures accessibility for all users while preventing tripping hazards.
Yes. The premium composite rubber backing works well on virtually all commercial floor surfaces including tile, stone, concrete, sealed hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and commercial carpet. The rubber provides floor grip without adhesives while protecting floors from scratches. For specific floor types with special requirements, consult with us about your application to ensure optimal performance.
