Why Is the Microfibre Mat the “King of Mats”?
When choosing a mat for a room, it is important to clearly define its purpose – is it a decorative interior element, or will it have to perform a practical function, such as reducing footstep noise or collecting debris and dirt? One of the most effective practical mats is a microfibre mat, specially designed for placement in indoor entrance areas to collect excess dirt and moisture. That is why this time we will talk about microfibre—what kind of material it is and why the microfibre mat is the best mat in the world.
What Is Microfibre?
Microfibre is a special type of fibre consisting of polyamide and polyester threads. These threads are themselves made up of almost one hundred microscopic fibre filaments, creating an impressive surface area. The unique structure of the fibre enables this mat to absorb liquids and collect dirt without allowing anything to return to the cleaned surface.
Why Are Microfibre Mats with a Rubber Backing the Best Choice?
Protects the floor because neither moisture nor debris can pass through. A tiled floor will not be harmed if it gets wet, but it is certainly not the only type of flooring. Many floor coverings can be damaged by moisture and debris, so it is important to have a mat at the entrance that does not let water through and absorbs and retains it effectively.
Prevents slipping – the mat remains firmly in place thanks to the special «Ultragrip» ribbed rubber backing, which prevents it from shifting even in areas with heavy foot traffic.
Collects large amounts of moisture and dirt – microfibre can absorb and retain particularly large amounts of dirt and water. According to data compiled by «Elis», these mats trap up to 92% of all dirt from pedestrians’ shoes.
Universal design – the microfibre mat with a rubber backing is available in a versatile grey shade that looks good in all interiors and with all types of flooring. It is excellent at concealing salt marks, which are a common problem during winter.
Various sizes – «Elis» offers replaceable microfibre mats in two sizes, but custom sizes can also be produced.
Dries quickly – thanks to the way microfibre binds water, it dries much faster than nylon or cotton mats.
Durable and long-lasting – microfibre is an exceptionally durable material, so these mats can serve for a very long time without losing their attractive appearance.
Effectively removes dry dirt from shoes – microfibre itself is relatively soft, so «Elis» microfibre mats are made from a combination of microfibre and durable nylon fibre, which handles both tasks at once: it removes dirt from visitors’ shoes so that it is not carried further into the premises, while also absorbing moisture effectively and retaining it.
Where Should a Microfibre Mat Be Placed?
A microfibre mat performs its function best in indoor entrance areas. The ribbed rubber backing helps keep the mat in its designated place and maintain a neat appearance, while the microfibre surface collects almost all the dirt and moisture from visitors’ shoes, preventing dirt from being carried further into the premises. In particularly bad weather, a microfibre mat works well in combination with a rubber scraper mat, which is placed first, before the replaceable microfibre mat.
