Q: What makes WaterHog Impressions different from other logo mats?
A: WaterHog Impressions combine a signature waffle-pattern surface with high-quality logo printing. The textured surface scrapes dirt and debris off shoes while trapping water below walking level, so your floors stay cleaner and safer. Unlike standard carpet mats, they’re engineered for heavy traffic and superior moisture control.
Q: Can WaterHog Impressions mats be used outdoors?
A: Yes, they are designed for both indoor entrances and covered outdoor areas. The UV-stable fibers resist fading from sunlight, and the nitrile rubber backing provides slip resistance and durability in wet conditions. For fully exposed outdoor use, we recommend WaterHog Inlay for maximum longevity.
Q: How detailed can the printed logo be?
A: The printing process allows for intricate designs, small text, and fine details that may not be possible on traditional inlay mats. If your logo has gradients, fine lines, or many colors, WaterHog Impressions are an excellent choice.
Q: What sizes are available?
A: WaterHog Impressions come in a wide range of standard sizes, and custom sizing is available to fit your exact entrance or space. Contact us for a free proof with your logo in the size that works best.
Q: How do I clean and maintain a WaterHog Impressions mat?
A: Daily vacuuming is usually enough. For deeper cleaning, you can hose off the mat or use a carpet extractor. The durable construction means the mat will bounce back even after frequent cleaning.
Q: Are WaterHog Impressions mats eco-friendly?
A: Yes. They are manufactured using solution-dyed fibers that reduce water and chemical use during production. Many options include recycled content in the backing and surface fibers.
Q: How long do WaterHog Impressions mats last?
A: With proper care, these mats can last several years even in busy commercial entrances. Their reinforced edges and rubber backing prevent curling, cracking, or breaking down under heavy foot traffic.
