You naturally want your beautiful PVC floor to last as long as possible. Small debris, like sand, can cause damage over time. While vacuuming can help remove dirt, prevention is better than cure! That’s why choosing a doormat for your PVC floor is essential. A doormat ensures that most dirt never reaches your floor.
However, there’s one important factor to consider when choosing a doormat for a PVC floor: PVC cannot handle harmful plasticizers. Many doormats contain plasticizers in their backing to keep them flexible. But don’t worry—we’ve got the perfect solution!
Our custom-made plasticizer-free doormats* are free from harmful phthalate plasticizers. Why the asterisk after plasticizer-free? We’re happy to explain below.

Why is it that PVC floors, and even more so PU resin floors, don’t handle harmful plasticizers well? It’s a complex topic, but we’ll simplify it as much as possible.
PVC and PU resin floors are made of plastics, and all plastics contain plasticizers to make them flexible. Similarly, the backing of a doormat is often made of plastic and therefore also contains plasticizers. When two products with plasticizers are in prolonged contact, a chemical reaction can occur. We say can because it’s not guaranteed to happen. However, when it does, discoloration may appear. This can be caused by a doormat or other plastic items, such as a trash bin or plastic caps on chair, table, or sofa legs!
Some of our mats feature a 100% nitrile rubber backing, free from harmful phthalate plasticizers. Phthalates are proven to be damaging to your floor, and by eliminating these harmful plasticizers, the risk of discoloration is minimized.
That said, this doesn’t mean nitrile rubber is entirely free of plasticizers, which is why there’s an asterisk after “plasticizer-free.” Without any plasticizers, the backing would be as hard as concrete, which isn’t practical! For these reasons, our mats without harmful plasticizers are the best choice for your PVC floor and a much safer option than mats with a standard backing.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that discoloration will never occur, as the primary factor is the type and quality of the floor. This is especially critical for PU resin floors, which are extremely sensitive—even when using plasticizer-free mats. If you’d like more information about using plasticizer-free mats on PU resin floors, please don’t hesitate to contact us!
Choose a color, thickness, and size that suits your needs, and enjoy a clean PVC floor. Still unsure if a plasticizer-free* mat is the right choice for your floor? Feel free to reach out to us by phone or email—we’re happy to help!

At Mattigo.com, custom-made solutions are our specialty—including doormats for PVC floors! The advantage of a plasticizer-free custom doormat is that it perfectly fits your living space. You can choose any size and a variety of colors. Ordering is simple: select the doormat, choose a color, input the desired length and width, and place your order.

Since this doormat will be placed on a PVC floor and not in a recess, it comes with a beautifully finished border as standard. Prefer a doormat without a border for your PVC floor? Feel free to contact us to discuss the options.
Our doormats with a 100% nitrile rubber backing offer many advantages. First, they are free of harmful plasticizers, making them the best choice for PVC floors. Another benefit of this type of doormat is that it can be machine-washed. However, be sure to wash the mat at a maximum of 45°C and avoid using fabric softener. Regular washing ensures that the mat continues to provide optimal protection for your PVC floor.
Still unsure if a plasticizer-free* mat is suitable for your PVC floor or PU resin floor? Contact us for more information – no obligation!
*By plasticizer-free, we mean free of harmful phthalates, not 100% free of plasticizers. If you’re unsure whether the doormat is suitable for your floor, feel free to contact us for advice!

The anti-slip undermat can be used when the mat is placed on a smooth surface. The mat has a standard size of 60x60cm, but can easily be cut to the desired size with scissors.
If the mat is larger than 60x60cm, multiple anti-slip undermats can be used.
Measure the depth and dimensions of the recess to determine the height to be filled. It is possible to stack multiple filler mats on top of each other to get the right height.
