WaterGuard Classic Entrance Mat

WaterGuard Classic Mats are the most popular entrance mats in the industry. Due to their raised square or "waffle" like pattern, these entrance floor mats are very aggressive in scraping shoes clean of dirt, debris and water. The WaterGuard mat also features a water dam border that can hold up to 1.5 gallons/square yard of water.

• WaterGuard mats are available with either a heavy-duty rubber border or a matching fabric border for a softer look at no additional charge.

• The surface of the WaterGuard floor mats are constructed from an anti-static polypropylene material which dries quickly and will not fade or rot, making the WaterGuard Classic an ideal floor mat for both indoor or outdoor areas.

    Customer Questions & Answers

    Can't find the answer you need? Ask a Question
    Where are the Waterguard Classic Mats made?
    - Susan B.

    All Waterguard Classic Entrance Mats are manufactured here, in the US, using only premium grade, American-sourced raw materials.  This helps ensure consistency, quality-control and superior craftsmanship with all Waterguard mats.

    Am I able to order custom sized Waterguard Mats for a non-standard sized entryway?
    - Alexander H.

    Certainly! Waterguard Classic Mats are manufactured in a wide variety of standard sizes and can also be quickly and efficiently produced in custom dimensions as well. These custom sized Waterguard Entrance Mats can even be purchased directly online.

    Can I add my company's logo onto a waterguard classic?
    - Ben F.

    Absolutely! Our Waterguard Logo Mats are the perfect combination up custom design and heavy-duty entrance matting. These Waterguard logo door mats have no artwork fees, setup fees, or additional color fees and can be produced rather quickly. The design is embedded into the fibers of the mat and will not rub off or chip away. These custom designed Waterguard mats work just as hard as the tried-and-true Waterguard Classic Entrance Mats.

    What Waterguard edging is better: The black rubber border or the matching fabric border?
    - James M.

    The Waterguard Classic Entrance Mats are available with either a traditional, heavy-duty, black rubber beveled edging around the perimeter or a matching color, fabric option. Both border types are designed for commercial use and both offer the same sloped design for a safe transition on and off the mat. Whereas the black rubber border is simply an extension of the rubber backing, the matching fabric edging uses the surface material extended all the way to the edge of the mat. Thus, both options still have the heavy duty rubber edge and it is exposed (black rubber) or covered (matching fabric) for a softer, less industrial look.

    Wouldn't the gripper backing be best on any flooring?
    - Aaron B.

    Waterguard Classic Entrance Mats are available with either a Gripper backing or a Smooth backing. The Gripper feature boasts hundreds (or, on larger mats, thousands) of little rubber fingers, or nubs, that grab onto carpet fibers to help keep the mat more firmly in place. The Smooth backing is ideal on a hard surfaces like tile, wood, vinyl, LVT, etc., since the Smooth backing will have more surface-to-surface contact with the floor below and will be able to better keep the mat in place.

    We have a grand opening this week - how quickly can the Waterguard Classic mats be shipped out?
    - John H.

    No problem; we're happy to help! Waterguard Classic Mats (both small sizes and large, standard sizes and custom) can be processed and shipped out quickly to help you get the entrance matting you need on time. Please send us a message or call us so that we can help you meet your deadline for later this week.  (That being said, most orders typically ship out within a couple of days.)

    Can we cut down this mat to fit in the exact dimensions in our vestibule? Will it damage the Waterguard long-term?
    - Mary W.

    Waterguard Classic Mats can easily (and cleanly) be cut to fit a particular size or area without the mat unraveling or deteriorating. Please note that cutting a Waterguard Mat will remove the beveled edging.  However, if the mat is placed up against a wall, cabinet, etc. where people are not walking on and off of that side of the mat then it would not be an issue.

    How thick is the Waterguard Classic door mat? We want to ensure that this mat is low enough to not get caught in a swinging door.
    - Alex H.

    Waterguard Classic Entrance Mats are produced in a nominal 3/8" thick with door clearance in mind. This means that they're slightly less than 3/8" but, more importantly, this thickness should allow virtually any residential or commercial door to swing effortlessly over the surface of the mat without getting caught.

    Will the Waterguard mat emit a strong, rubber smell?
    - Thad S.

    Waterguard Classic Mats are made here in the USA with only premium quality, American-sourced components. There is no clay, sand, or any other fillers used in the production of these mats.  Additionally, no harmful additives, phthalates or any toxic substances are used to make the Waterguard matting.  These mats have a durable, non-reactive, nitrile rubber construction that may have a very faint smell shortly after the mat is produced but, if it does exist, the smell dissipates rather quickly. Waterguards do not retain any long-lasting odors.

    What's the best way to clean a Waterguard Classic Entry Mat?
    - Mabrooke S.

    Waterguard mats are easy to maintain. Simply shake out or vacuum the mats for most day-to-day dirt and debris. These mats can be hosed down to remove caked on mud and for an overall deeper cleaning. Although not at all necessary, Waterguards can be washed using a little dish soap and a spray hose/power washer for a truly deep cleaning. (However, vacuuming as needed is typically all that's necessary.)

    Can Waterguard Classic Mats be used in areas where people wear high heel shoes?
    - William P.

    Not a problem at all!  Waterguard Classic Mats have a raised square (waffle) pattern that effectively scrapes off dirt, dust and debris along with salts and sand from shoes and boots. These mats are designed for use in just about any environment: from Class A office buildings to schools and industrial facilities to retail locations and just about anything in between. High heels will not get caught in the high/low surface of the Waterguard Classic and can safely be worn around these mats.

    The building owner only allows floor mats when it's raining or snowing and we need to roll them up and store the mats on all other days. Will the Waterguard Classic Mats role and unroll easily? Will doing this damage the mats?
    - Natalia F.

    Waterguard Classic Entrance Mats are made with a premium rubber backing that allows the mats to easily be rolled and unrolled (with any frequency) and helps them lay completely flat on the floor regardless of how long they've been rolled up. Also, thanks to the commercial-grade rubber on the underside, these mats will not curl or crack on the edges, even in high traffic locations.

    This Waterguard mat would be placed in our house and we want to know if it would hurt to walk across the surface of the Waterguard Classic wearing only socks or even bare foot?
    - Paul R.

    The popularity of the Waterguard Classic Entrance Mats has helped introduce this product to just as many residential environments as commercial locations. You'll find many Waterguard Mats used in people's homes by the front door, garage entrance, and just about anywhere else dirt, debris and dust need to be stopped in their tracks. Although the Waterguard Classic boasts a high/low waffle pattern, the polypropylene surface is still soft enough to comfortably walk on barefoot (or in socks) without experiencing any discomfort, even for people with more sensitive skin.

    Are these particular mats true to size? I have a narrow hallway and want to make sure they aren't too big and run up the walls.
    - Alberta U.

    All mats (regardless of the type, size, or even manufacturer) shrink during the manufacturing process when the surface material is bonded to the backing material.  Shrinkage varies depending on the type of materials used but, on average, these mats shrink from about 5% for larger mats and up to 10% for smaller ones (based on outside edge to outside edge dimensions (ie, including borders)).  Because this is an inexact science we can never precisely say what the final size will be (even two identical mats made of the same material, same size and heated for the same amount of time will have slightly different finished sizes).  Thus, all sizes listed on every product page under both Standard Sizes and Custom Sizes show approximate dimensions.  Regardless, if a mat comes out especially small, we are happy to re-make it but the dimensions will always be slightly smaller than the trade size (aka nominal size).  The only other option is to use a different "pre-shrunk" material, such as the Super Berber Mats, which is cut to size by hand AFTER the surface material is bonded to the backing and then the edging is added afterward. This production process, however, is much more labor-intensive and thus a more expensive option but would achieve any exact size needed.

    Are Water guard Classic mats safe to use on all types of flooring?
    - King G.

    Waterguard Classic Mats have a commercial-grade, non-reactive, premium rubber backing. Thus, the Waterguard Mats can be used on virtually any type of flooring (carpet, hardwood, laminate, LVT/LVP, tile, marble, terrazzo, brick, etc.).  However, should anything spill or any moisture get underneath the mat, it is advised to clean up the area under the mat instead of allowing it to sit.  Although most liquids won't interact with the mat itself, allowing anything to remain on a floor can eventually cause the floor to become damaged or discolored.

    Can the Waterguard Classic Entrance Mats be placed outdoors?
    - Ming L.

    The Waterguard family of floor mats is designed to hold up to the most demanding environments - both indoors and outside. The rubber backing will not crack or curl and the surface material is made from polypropylene, which which is stain-, fade- and mildew-resistant. Thus, these mats can be placed outdoors without issue. Please note, however, if the Waterguard is not used under an awning or overhang and there is a driving rain the mat will get wet and would simply need to air dry before it becomes fully functional again. Put another way, should the mat become saturated with water, it will not be effective at removing more moisture from people's shoes until it dries out.
