As the rain pours outside, one of the essential items for any household is a reliable doormat that can handle the challenges of wet weather both indoors and outdoors. A soggy entryway not only creates a mess but also poses a slipping hazard. So, it’s crucial to invest in a doormat that is designed to tackle rainy days head-on – whilst complementing your homes exterior. In this blog post, we will explore different doormat options and highlight the best, most heavy duty door mat for wet weather conditions.
Noodle Doormats/Recycled PVC Outdoor Mats
Plastic doormats are a popular choice for wet weather due to their water-resistant properties. Made from durable and weather-resistant materials, they effectively trap moisture, mud, and debris. The reason our recycled PVC mats get this name is because of their noodle like texture, this enhances traction and prevent slipping. Noodle Mats are easy to clean, simply requiring a hose-down or a quick shake. The only time that plastic doormats aren’t ideal is when it’s icy, as the mat surface can become frozen and slippery.

Coir Doormats
Coir mats, derived from coconut husks, are another excellent option to consider for wet weather. These mats have natural moisture-wicking abilities and are highly absorbent, making them ideal for rainy days. The coarse texture of coir helps scrape off dirt and mud from shoes, preventing them from being tracked indoors. However, it’s important to note that coir mats might require more frequent cleaning and may not be as effective in heavy rainfall. Coir is incredibly absorbent, meaning they can stay wet for a long time after a downpour – this can effect their design.

Consider Your Specific Needs
Choosing the right doormat for wet weather can significantly improve the cleanliness and safety of your home’s entryway. Consider the specific needs of your location and the expected rainfall intensity to determine the best option for your doorway. We advise keeping Coir Doormats in a sheltered location, so if you have a porch then maybe you should opt for a coir doormat. Noodle Doormats can withstand high rainfall and are also available in a huge range of colourful designs, the PVC will be hardwearing compared to natural coir as well.
Ultimately, investing in a high-quality doormat designed to withstand wet conditions will keep your floors cleaner, reduce slipping hazards, and make rainy days a little more manageable.
