Which Doormat Should I Choose?
We help you answer the Which Doormat Should I Choose? conundrum by explaining the key features of note
"Which doormat should I choose?" This is one of the most common questions that we receive. With so many doormat options available, it can be hard to know which doormat to go for. We hope that this blog article helps you answer this question.
Thickness
A long, thicker pile is not always better. Shorter pile mats tend to have a firmer brushing action and can remove dirt more effectively. (Think about how bristly very short cropped hair feels!)
We know that clearance can be an issue when choosing a doormat. Subsequently we have a number of thick and thin doormats available. Our Superior PVC Backed Coir is our thinnest natural coir option, coming in 14mm-30mm thick. Synthetic Coir Matting product are available in 9mm thick, with indoor and outdoor products. For doorways with low clearance our Personalised Indoor Carpet Mats and All Weather Made to Measure Doormats which sit at 5mm thick.
Machine Washable Doormats
We offer a range of Machine Washable Door Mats. These include our thin Personalised Indoor Carpet Mats and All Weather Made to Measure Doormats, as well as the full range of indoor hug rugs. Please check the product packaging/ care and fitting guide provided for washing instructions.
Cut To Size Doormats
Our Coir Matting Cut to Size range provides a variety of natural and synthetic coir products that are made to measure, in multiple thicknesses.
Our Traditional Hand-Stitched Doormats are created from scratch in our UK workshop by one of our talented workshop team. Made to measure, in a range of thicknesses.
Our Personalised Doormats are all made to a size specified, with an additional range of customisable options such as colours, typefaces and motifs.
My entrance is an irregular shape, is it possible to get a doormat to fit?
Yes, we love to go above and beyond for our customers to create irregular shaped doormats to their exact specifications. We would ask for you to email a dimensional drawing of the shaped doormat you require to help@makeanentrance.com. If the doormat is particularly complicated, send in a life-size template for our workshop team to work with.

Personalised Doormats
Our Personalised Door Mats Range has a mat for every home. The most popular being are our Personalised Indoor Carpet Mats and All Weather Made to Measure Doormats. These products are available in a 72 colour pallet or made to a high quality photograph.
Doormats For Underfloor Heating
PVC Backed doormats are not suitable to go straight onto underfloor heating, because there is no room for heat or potential moisture to escape through the impermeable PVC backing. We recommend this to prevent any potential damage to your doormat or flooring.
However, we large selection of doormats that are compatible with underfloor heating. These include our 100% Natural Plain Coir Standard Doormats, Personalised Doormat Range, Hand-Stitched Traditional Doormat, and many more.
Doormats For a Matwell/Recess
For a matwell/ recess, we would recommend our Coir Matting Cut to Size products, or our Traditional Hand-Stitched Doormat. Made to the specific dimensions of your matwell for a snug fit.
Our Personalised Doormat Range can all be made for matwells by selecting “Without Border”; “mat well or recess” or “cut to the size specified”. Either trim the doormat to fit yourself, or select for our workshop to do it for you.
Is there such thing as an eco-friendly doormat?
At Make An Entrance we are always looking to reduce our impact on the environment. We are always looking to increase our eco friendly doormat range. Our Traditional Hand Stitched Doormats, Plain Coir Standard Doormats and Eco Friendly Printed Doormats, are our premier Environmentally Friendly products. These doormats are 100% Natural and can therefore be composted at the end of their use.
Doormats For Businesses
Having a custom made logo mat for your business is an additional way to reinforce your brand image, as the first thing that people see when they walk through your doors. They are therefore very much more that just a doormat.
