DOORMAT: INTRODUCTION<\/h2>\n\n

The term \u201d doormat <\/strong>\u201d refers to a small carpet made for the purpose of allowing those who enter a place to have properly cleaned the soles of their shoes.<\/p>\n\n

Doormats have always been placed on the threshold of entrances to homes and businesses<\/strong>, but we can also find them on the outer door of a French window<\/strong> that opens onto a garden <\/a>or terrace. The position of a doormat already makes it clear what its main function is: to maintain unaltered levels of hygiene within the living space or company.<\/p>\n\n

In addition to this objective, doormats allow you to give a touch of style to your entrance<\/strong>: unlike in the past, when doormats were simple rectangular mats, devoid of personality, today they can have different shapes, sizes and colors<\/strong>, going to satisfy every type of customer.<\/p>\n\n

CRITERIA FOR THE CHOICE<\/h3>\n\n

To diversify a doormat from the other are also the materials: they are the latter, which more than anything else, affect its final cost. Although high-quality materials correspond to a greater longevity of the doormat, before making a purchase it is important to evaluate its position: an outdoor doormat must have some features that are unnecessary for an indoor doormat.<\/p>\n\n

TYPES<\/h4>\n\n

OUTDOOR DOORMAT<\/h4>\n\n

An outdoor doormat must be made, first of all, in a fairly durable material<\/strong>: from it will depend, in fact, the durability of the mat itself. Outdoor doormats are designed to withstand the sun\u2019s rays but also to prevent rain from<\/strong> quickly deteriorating them.<\/p>\n\n

One of the most suitable outdoor doormats is made of plastic<\/strong>: PVC<\/strong> doormats can withstand light and temperature changes, rain and dust. The thickness of PVC outdoor doormats also allows them not to lift off the ground even in strong winds.<\/p>\n\n

If you don\u2019t love plastic outdoor doormats, you can opt for rubber<\/strong> ones. A rubber outdoor doormat ensures the cleaning of the soles through the presence of slats created on its surface. It has a fairly high longevity and like the PVC outdoor doormat, it resists high or low temperatures, rain and sunlight.<\/p>\n\n

DOORMAT<\/h4>\n\n

An indoor doormat is suitable to be placed on the exits of apartments located inside apartment buildings<\/strong> or in covered atria inaccessible to the weather, especially rain, wind and beating sun.<\/p>\n\n

The more protected location of these doormats allows them to be selected in less durable and more delicate materials. Among the most widely used<\/strong> doormats in indoor environments are those made of coconut fiber<\/strong>. The coconut doormats, in fact, are made of a material that is particularly sensitive to the sun<\/strong>, therefore not suitable to be exposed outdoors.<\/p>\n\n

FLUSH DRYER<\/h4>\n\n

Alternatively, you can opt for synthetic fibre step dryers<\/strong>: they are preferred in all entrances with a high rate of passage, such as shopping centres, the arcades of public and private offices or even shops. A synthetic fiber doormat stays very close to the ground and is perfect for placing in very humid environments. You can also use it indoors<\/strong>, such as near a patio door<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
