Maybe you’re thinking, isn’t every doormat a scraper mat in some way? Technically, you’re right. But in our opinion, there’s only one type of mat that truly deserves that name: the one that powerfully scrapes dirt from the soles of your shoes. And that’s exactly the outdoor scraper mat we want to talk about.
What is a scraper mat?
A scraper mat is a doormat specially designed to remove coarse dirt such as mud, sand, and small stones from shoes. Instead of absorbing dirt, a scraper mat focuses on scraping off stubborn debris so it doesn’t get tracked indoors. The strong structure and rough materials, such as rubber, coir fibre, or hard plastic bristles, ensure that dirt is effectively removed from your shoe soles.
The best scraper mat
The ultimate scraper mat is the brush mat. Unlike other mats, this scraper mat features upright bristles similar to those on a broom. While other mats may wipe or polish, a brush mat reaches deep into the grooves of your shoes to remove even the toughest dirt.
Why a scraper mat is ideal for outdoor use
A scraper mat allows water to pass through. In most cases, that might sound like a bad thing, but not here. Whereas an indoor mat should absorb moisture to keep your home dry, an outdoor mat must let rainwater drain away. Otherwise, you’d end up with a soggy sponge or even a mouldy mat by your front door. That’s why a scraper mat is the perfect choice for outdoor use.
And the bonus? If it gets dirty, you can simply clean it with a pressure washer. Easy and effective.
Always a solid scraper mat with an aluminium base
The base of a scraper mat isn’t made of rubber or another flexible material. With an outdoor scraper mat, you’re choosing one of the most durable types of mats available. The base and edges are made of solid aluminium, built to last. That makes this outdoor mat suitable even for industrial environments and heavy work boots.
An outdoor scraper mat for every door
Scraper mats are available in sizes that fit most doors. A 50×80 cm mat works well for standard front doors, while a 70×100 cm version provides more coverage, ideal for wider entrances or doors that multiple people use at once. Whatever the doorway, there’s always a custom-sized scraper mat that fits perfectly.
