FAQs

Vinyl Link mats provide superior durability and cleaning performance compared to carpet-based logo mats. The heavy-duty extruded vinyl links woven on galvanized steel wire create a scraping surface that withstands extreme traffic, wheeled equipment, and outdoor exposure that would quickly damage carpet mats. The open-link construction allows debris and moisture to fall through gaps to the mat bottom, keeping the walking surface clean and slip-resistant throughout the day—carpet mats hold debris on the surface requiring frequent vacuuming. Vinyl Link mats excel in industrial, outdoor, and heavy-traffic applications where carpet mats would fail. They're also reversible (with square nosing) effectively doubling lifespan. While carpet mats offer photographic-quality logo printing, Vinyl Link mats deliver unmatched durability for demanding environments.

Absolutely! Vinyl Link mats are specifically engineered for outdoor and all-weather applications. The extruded vinyl links resist fading from UV exposure and won't deteriorate from rain, snow, ice, or temperature extremes (-40°F to 160°F operational range). The rust-resistant galvanized steel wire reinforcement prevents corrosion from moisture. The open-link design allows water to drain preventing surface puddles and maintaining slip resistance in wet conditions. These mats excel in covered outdoor entrances and perform excellently in full outdoor exposure where weather-resistant durability is essential. Many facilities use Vinyl Link mats in uncovered exterior entrances, loading docks, and outdoor walkways where traditional carpet mats would quickly deteriorate.

Vinyl Link logos are created by alternating colored vinyl links in a pattern to form your design—similar to how pixels create digital images. Because the logo is built from individual rectangular links (1/2" x 2"), the overall appearance has a "pixelated" or "digitized" effect rather than photographic smooth detail. Think of it as "link art" similar to pixel art in video games. This construction method works excellently for bold geometric logos, large text, and simple designs with solid color areas. Highly detailed logos with thin lines, intricate patterns, or photographic images may not translate well. The minimum text size of 4"W x 5"H ensures letters remain legible. We provide a digital proof showing exactly how your logo will appear in link format before production.

Yes! While Vinyl Link mats excel in outdoor applications, they're equally effective indoors. Many facilities use them in interior entrances, lobbies, and high-traffic corridors requiring maximum durability. The aggressive scraping performance makes them ideal for industrial facilities, warehouses, maintenance areas, and any interior space with extreme traffic or wheeled equipment. The heavier weight (2.3 lbs/sq ft) and substantial construction provide stability on interior floors. Some considerations: The open-link design may collect small items (paper clips, coins) that fall through gaps, and the "industrial" aesthetic may not suit refined corporate lobbies where carpet logo mats provide more upscale appearance. But for durability and cleaning performance, Vinyl Link mats are unmatched indoors.

Mats manufactured with 1-1/2" square nosing are completely reversible—you can flip them over and use both sides, effectively doubling mat lifespan. This is possible because square nosing looks identical on both sides. Mats with 2" beveled nosing (for surface installation) are NOT reversible because the beveled ramp only works in one orientation. If you want reversible capability, specify square nosing for recessed installation or when butting mats together. The ability to flip and use both sides provides exceptional return on investment, especially in high-wear installations where one side receives concentrated traffic. When one side shows significant wear, simply flip the mat and continue use.

Vinyl Link mats are extremely easy to clean due to the self-cleaning open-link design. Daily maintenance involves simply shaking the mat vigorously or vacuuming to remove surface debris—most dirt falls through the link gaps naturally. For weekly deep cleaning, hose off the mat with a standard garden hose, optionally using mild detergent and a deck brush for stubborn soil. For intensive cleaning, use a pressure washer at moderate pressure (1000-1500 PSI) to thoroughly clean both sides. The vinyl construction dries quickly (1-2 hours) and can be returned to service immediately. No special cleaning equipment or chemicals required. The low-maintenance cleaning is a major advantage over carpet mats requiring regular vacuuming and periodic extraction cleaning.

No! The colors are permanently integrated throughout the vinyl material during the extrusion process—they're not surface-applied coatings or dyes that can fade. This means outdoor sunlight, UV exposure, and weather conditions will not cause fading, staining, or color loss. The specification sheet explicitly states colors "Will Not Fade, Stain or Wear Off." This permanent color-fast construction ensures your logo maintains vibrant appearance through years of outdoor exposure. Many outdoor Vinyl Link installations remain vivid after 5-10+ years of direct sunlight. This is a significant advantage over painted markings, surface-printed mats, or materials using UV-sensitive dyes that fade quickly outdoors.

We accept vector graphic files (AI, EPS, PDF formats with fonts converted to outlines) which are ideal for logos. High-resolution raster images (PNG, JPEG, TIFF) are also acceptable if saved at high resolution (300+ DPI minimum). However, remember that the final logo appearance will have a "digitized" or "pixelated" effect because it's created from individual vinyl links, not printed photographically. Complex detailed logos may need simplification to translate effectively to link format. Our design team will review your artwork and create a digital proof showing exactly how your logo will appear as woven vinyl links before production begins. The proof allows you to approve the digitized appearance or request modifications.

Vinyl Link mats use standard vinyl link colors (15 color options available), not custom Pantone color matching. Your logo will be created using the closest available standard colors from our color palette. While we can't produce custom vinyl link colors for exact Pantone matching, the 15 standard colors accommodate most logo designs effectively. Our design team will recommend the closest color matches and show you the appearance in the digital proof. For applications requiring precise brand color matching, carpet-based logo mats with digital printing offer unlimited Pantone-matched colors. Vinyl Link mats prioritize maximum durability over photographic color precision, making them ideal where performance outweighs exact color matching requirements.

Vinyl Link mats are substantial—approximately 2.3 lbs per square foot. A 4'x6' mat weighs about 55 lbs, while a 6'x10' mat weighs approximately 138 lbs. The heavy weight is beneficial because it prevents mat movement and shifting under traffic, but it also means larger mats require multiple people to move safely. Smaller mats (up to 4'x6') can typically be handled by one person using proper lifting technique. Larger mats may require 2-4 people for safe lifting and positioning. The weight is part of the heavy-duty construction that delivers exceptional stability and durability. While not as easily relocatable as lighter carpet mats, the substantial weight contributes to secure placement and long-term performance in demanding applications.

The minimum recommended text size is 4 inches wide x 5 inches tall (height). This ensures text remains legible given the "digitized" link construction method. Text smaller than this minimum may appear too pixelated to read clearly, with individual links too visible and letter shapes unclear. Bold, thick letterforms work best—thin or delicate fonts may not translate well to link format. If your logo includes small text like taglines, phone numbers, or website addresses, consider whether they meet the minimum size requirement or if they should be removed from the design. The digital proof will show exactly how text appears at actual size, allowing you to confirm readability before production.

Recessed installation requires a mat well or recessed area in your floor where the mat sits flush with the surrounding floor surface. If you don't have an existing mat well, one would need to be created through floor modification (cutting and framing). This is typically done during construction or major renovation projects. If you have existing floors without mat wells and don't want floor modification, choose the 2" beveled nosing option for surface installation—the mat simply places on top of existing flooring with beveled edges reducing trip hazards. Many facilities successfully use surface-mounted Vinyl Link mats without recessed installation. Consider recessed installation for permanent solutions in new construction; use surface installation for retrofit applications or situations where floor cutting isn't feasible.

2" Beveled Nosing (Surface Installation): Places directly on existing floors with no floor modification required Beveled ramp on all four sides reduces trip hazards (not eliminated completely) Ideal for retrofit applications, rental properties, seasonal use Can be relocated if needed Mat sits slightly raised above surrounding floor NOT reversible due to beveled edges Professional appearance for non-recessed applications 1-1/2" Square Nosing (Recessed Installation): Requires mat well or recessed area in floor Creates completely flush surface with surrounding floor (trip hazard eliminated) Professional permanent integrated appearance Used when butting multiple mats together Protects mat edges from damage Completely reversible—flip mat over for double-sided wear Best for new construction and permanent installations Choose based on whether you have/want floor modification and whether reversibility is important.
