Description
WaterGuard One End Round Mat from Universal Floor Mats deliver sophisticated entrance styling through unique one end semicircle design while maintaining proven WaterGuard performance.
The distinctive shape features one straight rectangular end and one gracefully rounded semicircle end. This elegant design creates an inviting entrance aesthetic that welcomes visitors while aggressively removing dirt and moisture from shoes.
The rounded end presents a softer, more welcoming appearance compared to standard rectangular mats. This upscale design proves ideal for hotels, executive offices, retail stores, and residential entries where first impressions matter. The semicircle shape guides traffic naturally while maintaining full scraping coverage.
WaterGuard One End Round Mat utilize the same high-performance construction as standard WaterGuard products. The raised pattern effectively scrapes dirt and moisture from shoes, trapping debris beneath shoe level to prevent tracking. The bi-level surface design maximizes contact with shoe soles for superior cleaning action.
The water dam border completely surrounds both the rectangular and rounded portions of the mat. This raised border contains moisture within its trenches, preventing water from reaching surrounding floors. Each mat holds up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard, providing exceptional capacity for wet weather protection.
Anti-static polypropylene fabric construction ensures quick drying and long-lasting performance. The solution-dyed material will not fade in sunlight or rot when exposed to moisture, making WaterGuard One End Round Mat suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. UV resistance maintains color vibrancy despite direct sun exposure.
The rubber-reinforced surface, borders, and backing provide ultimate strength for heavy traffic environments. Rubber reinforcement prevents carpet crushing in high-traffic areas, maintaining high performance and extending product life significantly beyond non-reinforced alternatives.
Available with either traditional heavy-duty rubber borders or matching fashion fabric borders. The fashion border option uses the surface material extended to the mat edge for a softer, less industrial aesthetic. Both border types feature the same water dam construction and beveled edges for safe floor-to-mat transition.
Backing options include smooth rubber for hard floors and gripper backing for carpet installations. The gripper backing features hundreds of rubber nubs that grab carpet fibers to prevent mat migration during use.
Universal Floor Mats ships WaterGuard OneEnd Round Mat nationwide from our Gaithersburg, Maryland facility, serving commercial and residential customers throughout the United States with elegant entrance matting solutions.

Maintenance Tips
MAINTENANCE TIPS
Proper care ensures WaterGuard One End Round Mats maintain elegant appearance and performance.
Daily Maintenance
Vacuuming
Vacuum WaterGuard One End Round Mats daily in commercial installations using commercial vacuum with beater bar or strong suction. Pay special attention to the rounded end where traffic may concentrate.
The high-low surface pattern releases dirt easily during vacuuming. Vacuum against the pattern direction for maximum dirt removal.
Quick Inspection
Inspect the water dam border daily to ensure it’s containing moisture properly. The semicircle end requires the same attention as the rectangular portion.
Check for any debris accumulation around the rounded edge where the pattern transitions.
Weekly Cleaning
Extraction Cleaning
Extract WaterGuard One End Round Mats weekly in high-traffic commercial installations. The extraction process removes embedded dirt from deep within the fibers.
Use standard carpet extraction equipment. The rounded end extracts identically to the rectangular portion—no special techniques required.
Hose-Off Method
Hose off outdoor WaterGuard One End Round Mats weekly or as needed. The rounded shape makes hosing convenient—water flows naturally toward edges.
Use moderate water pressure to flush debris from the high-low pattern. The water dam border channels water for efficient drainage.
Monthly Deep Cleaning
Comprehensive Cleaning
Remove mat monthly for thorough hose-off or pressure washing. Hang to dry completely before returning to service.
The polypropylene construction dries relatively quickly, typically 4-8 hours depending on weather conditions and air circulation.
Seasonal Considerations
Winter Performance
During de-icing season, the water dam border prevents salt accumulation on surrounding floors. The polypropylene resists salt damage.
Hose off weekly during heavy salt use to prevent crystallization in the mat fibers. The anti-static properties prevent excessive salt attraction.
Spring Renewal
After winter, conduct comprehensive pressure washing to remove accumulated salt and seasonal debris. The rounded end may accumulate dirt differently than rectangular portions—inspect carefully.
Summer/Fall Maintenance
Monitor the mat for wear patterns, particularly at high-traffic points along the rounded edge. The fade-resistant construction maintains color despite summer sun exposure.
Rotate mat 180 degrees quarterly to equalize wear across both the rectangular and rounded ends.
Cleaning Products
Recommended:
- Clear water for routine cleaning
- Neutral pH carpet cleaner for deep cleaning
- Extraction cleaning solutions
- Standard commercial cleaning equipment
Avoid:
- Harsh chemicals (not needed for polypropylene)
- Bleach (can damage rubber backing)
- Abrasive scrubbing on fashion borders
- Oil-based cleaners
Inspection Schedule
Inspect WaterGuard One End Round Mats monthly for:
- Surface wear patterns across both ends
- Water dam border integrity (particularly rounded section)
- Backing adhesion to floor surface
- Overall appearance and cleanliness
- Fashion border condition (if applicable)
Expect 5-7 years service life in moderate to heavy commercial traffic with proper maintenance. The rounded end typically shows equal wear to rectangular portions due to balanced traffic distribution.
