Explaining the 3-Mat Entry System

The 3-Mat Entry System is a comprehensive solution designed to improve cleanliness, safety, and maintenance efficiency at building entrances. This system consists of three key components: the outdoor scraper mat, the scraper/wiper mat, and the carpeted wiper mat. Each mat plays a specific role in capturing dirt and moisture before it spreads indoors. The outdoor scraper mat tackles heavy dirt and debris, while the scraper/wiper mat, typically placed inside or outside, handles both dirt and moisture. Finally, the wiper mat traps any remaining particles and water, providing a clean and dry entrance. This layered defense helps reduce cleaning costs, prolong floor life, and enhance safety by preventing slips and falls in high-traffic areas. Perfect for businesses, schools, hospitals, and other facilities, the 3-Mat Entry System ensures a pristine and professional entrance that protects both your floors and visitors.

Step 1: Scraper Mats

Scraper mats are the first step of this system. These types of mats are placed outside your building as your first defense against dirt, grime, and moisture. Mats like these feature surface cleats designed to scrape tough dirt and grime from shoes with the bi-level design trapping dirt below foot level. Our Scraper Mats are available in various colors, and have a surface constructed to filter dirt and moisture away with drainable borders.

Step 2: Scraper/Wiper Mats

The second line of defense are Scraper/Wiper mats. Depending on your entry way and the mat you choose, scraper/wiper mats can be placed indoors or outdoors. Scraper/Wiper mats have the bi-level surface construction that removes and traps dirt below foot level, but also have been designed with a water dam border that holds up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard. The durable PET fabric dissipates water to make the drying process faster than standard fabrics.

Step 3: Carpeted Wiper Mats

Carpeted (wiper) mats finish off this trifecta by wiping that last bit of dust and moisture off your shoes. We offer several logo mat options to aid in the promotion of your company. Solid Carpeted mats are also available with the same fade-resistant, stain-resistant, eco-friendly PET surface. Additional solid carpeted mats are available if you're looking for something ultra-absorbent.
