Berber point mats
Looped polypropylene pile that traps fine dust and some moisture. Good for offices, but colour options are limited and logos are usually not possible.
Coir mats
Natural coconut fibre that scrapes shoes well. It sheds, holds water poorly and breaks down quickly in wet Highveld summers.
PVC spaghetti (vinyl loop) mats
Open vinyl loops that let dirt and water fall through. Ideal as the first outdoor zone, but they do not dry shoes and cannot carry a logo.
The recommended three-zone setup
Outdoor scraper (PVC spaghetti) → indoor branded nylon logo mat on nitrile rubber → clean floor. The logo mat captures the remaining moisture and greets visitors with your brand.
