There is nothing better than a beautiful doormat to impress your visitors from the moment they enter.

If you fancy buying a doormat that does not meet the usual standards, a doormat that thinks outside the box, then you have come to the right place. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose a custom doormat.

What material for your custom doormat?

To choose a custom doormat, you have the choice between several types of materials such as coconut fibers, cotton fibers, nylon, rubber or even polypropylene.

Each of these materials has specific characteristics. Each material can be classified according to its nature (synthetic or natural) or according to its use (exterior or interior).

Coconut fiber

coconut fiber is the trendy material of the moment. Natural fibers from the coconut shell, this material does not suffer from any drawbacks.

Its absorption capacity is high and its fibers effectively clean any sole. The maintenance is quite simple and the coconut doormats can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Natural cotton fiber

it has above-average absorbency. However, its fragility makes it a material more suitable for indoor use.

Synthetic nylon fiber:

nylon is a fairly rigid synthetic material. The nylon bristles scratch the soles well. Unfortunately, it doesn’t absorb water as well as cotton or coir fibers.

Rubber:

At first glance, rubber does not seem to be a suitable material for cleaning soles. However, there are doormats in the form of a grid that are intended for outdoor use. Indeed, rubber is arguably the strongest material on this list. Not only is it weatherproof, it does not degrade under the influence of sunlight.

Polypropylene:

resistant and non-slip, this material is widely used to make doormats. It also has the advantage of being very easy to clean. However, its absorption capacity is very limited. It is more suitable for indoor use.

Note: Most doormats can be washed in the washing machine.

The characteristics of a personalized doormat?

Even if it seems basic and harmless, a custom doormat must provide simple and precise features to be effective and properly honour the entrance to your home or business space.

The ideal custom doormat should be:

  • absorbent
  • have a correct grip (be cleanser)
  • be aesthetic and in accordance with the desired atmosphere

This is all the truer when the welcome mat is on the doorstep and outside. You don’t choose it at all the same whether it’s inside or outside.

A brush mat model, however, makes the difference on this side. With a very strong absorbency and the possibility of putting it inside or outside.

This is the brushed coir mat. You can put it outside or inside; its absorbent abilities are so powerful that it can be found – if you pay attention – everywhere. In homes, in shops, in business halls up to the entrance to certain places of worship …

But, did you know that it is possible to have a custom coir doormat? Indeed, let’s place the image of the austere, light brown coconut fiber rug far from us. And let’s leave room for the customization of the coconut brush carpet.

The personalization of this doormat essentially involves two things.

  • The thickness of the doormat will be greater or less depending on the need and the expected service.
  • And the color of the carpet, which alone can totally change and define the welcome you want to create for your visitors. The color of the carpet can change everything, believe us!

What design for your custom doormat?

The design takes into account three elements:

  • The dimensions
  • The form
  • The colors

Dimensions are very important, especially when it comes to the custom doormat. You can opt for the standard dimensions (60 × 40 cm) or adapt the dimensions to your liking.

If you want a doormat, you can specify dimensions, turn to custom doormat models.

Note: If the front door opens onto the custom doormat, it is better to choose a model that is not very thick.

Regarding the shape, the standard would be for the doormat to be rectangular, but in the case of a custom doormat, you do not have to meet the standards.

You can choose a rectangular, square, circular, half-moon-shaped doormat… the most important thing is that the doormat retains its functionality.

The colors mostly depend on where you plan to use the doormat. In a domestic environment, you can choose the colors of your choice, but in a professional environment, it is better to take into account the color codes of the company.

The advantages of the custom doormat

While branding your point of sale is a good way to set yourself apart from your competition, it’s also an easy way to convey essential information and make a good impression on your customers.

A mat is an omnipresent object in companies. Beyond the exterior signage, it is one of the first elements that can be observed when entering a point of sale or the premises of a company.

Although it is present in almost all buildings, it is hardly used by companies. It is thus an available and customizable support allowing the use of your decorative furniture for your communication.

A good quality custom doormat, clean, and in the colors of your company, is a sign of quality or even prestige.

While a simple rug may seem insignificant, it’s a great way to strike the minds of your customers and therefore make a good impression from the moment you step onto your premises.

Do not hesitate any longer and have the mats in your points of sale and premises personalized, to set you apart from your competitors!
