It sits by the door for years, going gray at the middle, holding on to whatever the last person walked in with. This one is a low ribbed pile set into a rubber surround, in charcoal or brown, and it does the ordinary job properly. It takes the grit off a shoe before the grit gets onto your floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo curling corners. No sliding on tile. No shoving it out of the way every time the door opens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ribs are the part doing the work\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRun a hand across the face and you feel fine ridges, roughly two to the centimeter, running the full length of the mat from one side to the other. They lie across the direction you walk in, which is the whole trick, because a shoe crosses forty or fifty of them in a single stride and every one takes a little more off the sole. A flat printed mat gives grit nothing to catch on, so it travels straight over the top and lands in your hallway anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pile is short and stiff rather than soft. Wet gravel and dry sand both drop into the valleys between the ribs instead of sitting on the surface where the next person picks them up again. Two paler bands run round the face as a plain border, set well in from the edge, and that is all the pattern there is. Quiet, on purpose. A door mat that shouts gets tiring by about the second week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow enough that the door passes over it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlenty of mats are bought for the inside of a front door and then turn out to be too tall to live there. You push the door, it catches, it drags the mat with it, and within a fortnight the thing has been kicked into a corner and replaced by nothing. This one is built low deliberately, and the rubber surround tapers down to meet the floor rather than standing up as a lip, so a door sweeps across the face instead of hitting an edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoors do vary. If yours already brushes the carpet, measure the gap before you pick a spot for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA porch mat and a hallway mat are the same mat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRubber has no opinion about rain, frost or a long hot afternoon, so the same mat works outside a front door, under a back door, on a balcony, along a courtyard path, or just inside where the wet boots come off. It lies flat from the moment you unroll it, with no weights, no warm iron and no waiting a week for the curl to drop out of the corners. The base holds it still on smooth tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCleaning is a shake and a vacuum. Because the grit sits up in the ribs rather than working its way down into the pile, most of it lifts out in two or three passes, and a hose takes the rest off in summer. There is nothing to replace and nothing to refill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo sizes, two colors, and by the end of the first week you have stopped noticing it entirely. For a door mat, that is the whole point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions, Small: 17.7 x 29.5 in (45 x 75 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions, Large: 23.6 x 35.4 in (60 x 90 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColors: Black, Brown\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBase and surround: Rubber\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFace: Low ribbed pile, roughly two ribs per centimeter, running the length of the mat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePattern: Two plain paler bands set in from the edge, running round all four sides\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurround: Rubber, tapering to the floor on all four sides, and the same charcoal on both colors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderside: Matte rubber with a fine all-over texture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfile: Low, made to sit under a door\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction: Machine made\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures: Water-resistant, anti-slip, wrinkle-resistant, fade-resistant, all-season\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse: Front door, back door, hallway, balcony, courtyard, garden path, bathroom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare: Shake out, vacuum, or hose down and dry flat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Door Mat\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ridgewell Living","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ Small - 17.7 x 29.5 in","offer_id":52275152519464,"sku":null,"price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Large - 23.6 x 35.4 in","offer_id":52275152552232,"sku":null,"price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ Small - 17.7 x 29.5 in","offer_id":52275152585000,"sku":null,"price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ Large - 23.6 x 35.4 in","offer_id":52275152617768,"sku":null,"price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/9430\/5064\/files\/0355-01-black-porch.png?v=1787518771","url":"https:\/\/ridgewellliving.com\/products\/door-mat-with-a-low-profile-ribbed-surface-for-indoor-and-outdoor-use","provider":"Ridgewell Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
