• High-absorbency fibres that capture moisture efficiently
• Textured surface that scrapes off grime and dirt
• Quick-drying material to prevent saturation on rainy days

Built to last

Crafted to withstand the rigours of daily use, these mats boast exceptional durability features:

• Robust construction that retains its form over time
• High-twist nylon pile that bounces back, preventing crushing
• 5-year manufacturer’s guarantee
• 11-year guarantee against significant colour loss

Tailored to Your Needs

With the ability to customize sizes up to 2m wide and any desired length, these mats can fit into any space. Choose from 11 stylish colours to complement your decor.

Mats with Borders or without

Choose with or without a rubber border. You may prefer to have without a border for aesthetic reasons or if you are installing the mat into a well or recess.

Different backings to help reduce movement

The 100% nitrile rubber backing will not ripple, split, crack or curl even in high footfall areas. With a choice of backing types to help keep the mat in place on hard floors or carpets, Shades Custom Heavy Duty mats will keep performing and looking great for many years.

Prioritising Safety

Safety is at the forefront of our design, with features that reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls:

• Non-slip rubber backing for both carpets and hard floors
• High-traction top layer for superior grip
• Low-profile edges that lay flat to minimize trip hazards
• NFSI (National Floor Safety Institute) certified for slip resistance

Effortless Maintenance

Keeping your Shades Custom Heavy Duty Mats looking their best is a breeze:

• Machine-washable convenience for hassle-free cleaning
• Speckled pattern (excluding Black and VIP Red) that cleverly hides dirt and debris between washes

Versatile Applications

Ideal for both commercial and residential settings, these mats are recommended for:

• High-traffic entrances
• Corridors, walkways, and reception areas
• Offices, schools, retail stores, and hospitality venues
• Domestic entryways and high-traffic areas
• Pet-friendly spaces for capturing muddy paws

How to order Custom Sizes

To order custom sizes, choose ‘Custom Size’ in the Size dropdown box, choose all your other options (Colour, Backing & Border) and boxes will appear beneath the price to enter the measurements you require. The price will automatically be calculated.

There are minimum and maximum custom sizes. Larger sizes cost less/m2 as shown in the Measurement Price Bands displayed.

NB: Due to natural shrinkage in the manufacturing process, there may be a +/- 3% size variation on made-to-measure mats made with borders. The custom size you enter is the size the mat will be made to, which includes the borders. Mats made without borders are cut to your exact size requirement.

Ordering to fit in a Mat Well / Recess

Choose ‘No Rubber Border’. Ensure you measure accurately. You may wish to add a little to each dimension, to allow you to trim to size on-site to ensure a snug fit. This is simple to do with a sharp utility knife and steel rule. The total mat depth is approx 11.5mm and is recommended for use in mat wells with a depth of between 9mm and 11.5mm.

Delivery timescale

Due to the custom nature of these mats, a lead time of approx. 2 weeks is required for production and delivery. The mats are currently being made in our EU factory, and you will receive notifications from our courier DHL when your mat is on its way to you. See our current delivery timescale at the top of this page.
