ABOUT DOOR MATS
There are three types of door mat: indoor door mats, outdoor door mats, and indoor/outdoor door mats. The main purpose of door mats is to prevent dirt, water, snow, or sand, from entering the house. The traditional coir door mat has now been largely superseded by door mats made from synthetic materials such as polypropylene. This is because natural fibres tend to be susceptible to rot and mildew, remain wet if used outdoors, and can be difficult to clean. Rubber is also used as a material for door mats.
There is a wide range of outdoor door mats illustrated with images and sayings. These include humorous welcoming messages such as: 'We Serve Only The Finest California Wines. Did You Bring Any?'.
