What Is a Recessed or Inset Floor Mat?
A recessed mat sits within an opening built into the flooring at an entrance. These openings may also be called mat wells, recessed entrances or inset mat areas.
Instead of the entire mat sitting above the surrounding floor, the mat is sized to fit within the designated space. Width, length, depth, edge construction and the shape of the opening can all affect the finished installation.
If you already have a recessed mat well, our team can help you determine the right configuration before your custom mat goes into production.
How to Order a Recessed Logo Mat
-

Measure the actual width, length and available depth of the mat well.
-
Send Us Your Logo
Send your logo or artwork and our art team will prepare a proof before production.
-
Built to Fit Your Space
Your mat is produced to the approved specifications for a clean, integrated entrance.
Custom Branding Without Sacrificing Durability
Your recessed entrance does not have to be limited to a plain utility mat. Your company logo, organization name, school emblem or custom artwork can be incorporated directly into the mat.
Our Berber Inlay construction combines a commercial-grade, low-profile carpet surface with durable inlaid artwork for demanding entrance environments.
The result is a professional branded entrance that looks like part of the building rather than an afterthought.
Already Have a Recessed Mat Well?
Before ordering, measure the actual opening rather than an existing mat whenever possible.
Width × Length × Available Depth
If the opening is irregular, oversized or you're unsure what to order, send us the measurements along with a few photos of the entrance. We'll help determine the right configuration before production.
