WaterHog Classic Entrance Mats That Protect Gym Floors at the Door
The M+A Matting WaterHog Classic entrance mat is a scraper/wiper mat for the doors that lead into gyms, fieldhouses, and school buildings. Grit and water tracked in on shoes scratch sport floor finish and make courts slippery, and the WaterHog’s bi-level square-pattern surface scrapes and wipes them off before people reach the floor.
Dirt and water drop below foot level, and the mat holds up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard. A raised water dam border keeps moisture on the mat, and reinforced rubber nubs keep the pile from crushing under heavy traffic. Facility managers use them at exterior doors, vestibules, lobby entrances, locker room approaches, and the hallway transition onto the court.
