Waterhog Herringbone Mats from Universal Floor Mats combine sophisticated visual appeal with industrial-strength performance through premium eco-friendly materials and advanced dirt-trapping technology.

The distinctive herringbone pattern creates an upscale aesthetic superior to basic waffle or diamond designs. The classic chevron-style arrangement presents a fashionable appearance appropriate for executive offices, upscale retail, hospitality properties, and any commercial entrance where visual impact matters alongside functional performance. The pattern's diagonal orientation effectively removes dirt and moisture from multiple approach angles.

Constructed with heavy 30 oz/yd² solution-dyed PET fabric, these mats deliver superior performance compared to lighter-weight alternatives. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) fabric is made from at least 90% recycled content reclaimed from post-consumer plastic bottles. Every 3' x 5' Waterhog Herringbone Mat diverts approximately 60 plastic bottles from landfills, transforming waste into high-performance entrance matting.

The bi-level surface design features raised rubber-reinforced nubs that scrape dirt and moisture from shoes. Dirt and water get trapped in recessed channels below foot level rather than remaining on the walking surface. This below-shoe-level capture prevents tracking dirt and moisture onto interior floors, maintaining cleanliness throughout facilities.

The exclusive water dam border creates a perimeter reservoir that contains moisture within the mat. This engineered border holds up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard of mat surface—substantially more than standard entrance mats. The contained moisture stays within the mat rather than pooling on floors, minimizing slip hazards and preventing floor damage from standing water.

Rubber-reinforced face nubs prevent pile crushing even under heavy commercial traffic. These structural reinforcements maintain the herringbone pattern's raised profile throughout the mat's service life. Unlike unreinforced mats that flatten and lose effectiveness, Waterhog Herringbone Mats continue performing consistently for years.

Solution-dyed PET fabric integrates color throughout the fiber during manufacturing rather than surface dyeing. This process creates fade resistance superior to dyed fabrics. The mats resist staining, dry quickly, and will not fade or rot despite constant exposure to sunlight, moisture, or environmental conditions. This durability makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

The SBR rubber backing contains 20% recycled rubber from car tires, further enhancing environmental credentials. Available in smooth backing for hard floors or universal cleated backing for carpeted surfaces, the rubber construction ensures the mat lays flat and doesn't creep across floors despite traffic flow.

NFSI (National Floor Safety Institute) certified high-traction surface provides verified slip resistance for commercial safety standards. Beveled edges create smooth transitions from floor to mat, reducing trip hazards while maintaining professional appearance.

Available in roll goods format with widths of 3', 4', and 6' in whole-foot lengths up to 60 feet. This versatile sizing accommodates hallway runners, extended entrance areas, and custom installations requiring specific dimensions. Mats up to 40' available with both smooth and universal cleated backing options.
