Description
Premium Entrance Mats represent the pinnacle of entrance matting technology through advanced Opti-Twist manufacturing.
These high-quality entrance mats are crafted using the finest high-twist, heat-set, solution-dyed nylon yarns available. The solution-dyed process locks color into the fiber itself, preventing fading and maintaining shine on the surface throughout years of use and commercial laundering. The proprietary Opti-Twist manufacturing process creates extra-strong fibers that help prevent crushing, a common problem with standard entrance mats. This ensures Premium Entrance Mats continue trapping dirt underneath surface fibers rather than allowing it to be ground into the mat and tracked indoors.
The high-quality nylon surface absorbs maximum water, extending mat life while keeping surrounding floors drier and safer. This superior moisture absorption reduces slip hazards and minimizes floor damage from tracked-in water. Premium Entrance Mats feature durable nitrile rubber backing and border that provide exceptional longevity. The nitrile construction offers maximum resistance to grease and oils, critical for commercial environments. It also resists mat movement and prevents curling at the edges, maintaining professional appearance.
Available with two backing options for optimal safety: gripper backing for carpeted surfaces provides secure placement, while raptor backing for hard floors ensures stability on tile, concrete, vinyl, and other smooth surfaces. Custom lengths up to 60 feet in 1-foot increments allow perfect sizing for any entrance, corridor, or high-traffic walkway. This flexibility makes Premium Entrance Mats ideal for both standard entrances and long hallway runners.

Maintenance Tips
Proper maintenance ensures Premium Entrance Mats deliver maximum performance and maintain their premium appearance.
Daily Maintenance
Vacuum Premium Entrance Mats daily in high-traffic commercial areas using commercial vacuum with strong suction. The crush-resistant fibers maintain loft for effective vacuuming.
In lower-traffic areas, vacuum weekly. The solution-dyed nylon resists showing dirt, but regular vacuuming maintains optimal dirt-trapping performance.
Weekly Cleaning
Use hot-water carpet extraction equipment weekly in high-traffic commercial installations. The heat-set nylon withstands high temperatures without damage.
Apply carpet cleaning solution appropriate for nylon fibers. The solution-dyed construction resists fading from cleaning chemicals. Rinse thoroughly to prevent residue buildup.
As-Needed Deep Cleaning
Premium Entrance Mats can withstand commercial laundering without fading—a key advantage of solution-dyed nylon. Follow commercial laundry guidelines for carpet mats.
The fade-resistant construction remains impervious to bleach and industrial detergents used in commercial laundries.
Remove mats and hose off outdoors when heavily soiled. Use moderate to high water pressure. The nitrile backing withstands pressure washing better than vinyl alternatives.
Hang to dry or lay flat. Allow 4-6 hours drying time depending on weather conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
During de-icing season, increase extraction cleaning frequency to prevent salt accumulation. The solution-dyed nylon resists salt damage, but regular cleaning maintains appearance.
After winter, conduct comprehensive cleaning to remove accumulated salt and seasonal debris. The crush-resistant fibers spring back to full loft after deep cleaning.
The superior water absorption helps manage summer storm moisture. Ensure adequate drying between cleanings during humid conditions.
Before wet fall weather, verify backing type matches floor surface for optimal performance. The anti-movement technology keeps mats positioned correctly during high-use autumn months.
Cleaning Products
Recommended:
- Commercial-grade carpet extraction solutions
- Nylon-safe carpet cleaners
- Hot water (heat-set fibers withstand high temperatures)
- Commercial laundry detergents (including bleach-safe)
Avoid:
- Oil-based solutions (though nitrile resists these)
- Solvents that could affect backing
- Abrasive scrubbing that could damage fibers
Inspection Schedule
Inspect Premium Entrance Mats monthly for:
- Fiber loft and crush resistance
- Backing integrity and edge condition
- Overall cleanliness and appearance
- Backing adhesion to surface
Rotate mats 180 degrees quarterly to equalize wear patterns. Expect 5-7 years service life in heavy commercial traffic with proper maintenance—significantly longer than standard entrance mats.
