Skip Into Summer Fun While Protecting Your Floors with WaterHog Mats

May 8, 2020

Enjoy all the fun of being outside this summer without worrying about protecting your home’s floors. Place a WaterHog® doormat outside your entryway to trap dirt and help prevent it getting tracked into your home. Or add a runner mat outside your patio door to preserve those clean floors. However you prefer to keep dirt off of your home’s floors, keeping them clean shouldn’t deter you from enjoying the beauty of a summer spent outdoors.

Proudly made in the USA, the antistatic polypropylene WaterHog® mats are designed for indoor or outdoor use year round, and are mildew-, mold-, and rot-resistant. The exclusive Water Dam border traps dirt and water on the mat to keep your floors clean, and each mat has a slip- and skid-resistant SBR rubber backing that is certified by the National Floor Safety Institute.

The Chevron mat features chevron designs and is available in a variety of colors and four sizes: 35”x23” rectangle mat, 36”x24” monogrammed rectangle mat, 39”x24” slice mat, and 60”x22” runner mat. The monogrammed mat includes free personalization with a single letter in the center of the mat accented with a circle and double border.

Other WaterHog® mats are available in a variety of colors, designs, and four sizes: 35”x23” rectangle mat; 39”x24” slice mat; 60”x22” runner mat; and stair treads in a set of 4, each 30”x8.5”. The Boxwood mat features a vining leaf design. The Cordova mat has intriguing quatrefoil motifs. The Diamonds mat features a lined diamond pattern. The Squares mat has simplistic square motifs. The Ellipse mat is patterned with unique geometrics.

Make a Grand Entrance to Your Home

April 26, 2013

A common welcome mat might get the job done, but why not give newcomers a little taste of grandeur? Add a dash of gravitas to your front entry with one of these robust relics, and you’ll have every onlooker longing to see what’s inside…

1. Entryway Accents: These statuesque elements look stately when positioned near or on either side of the doorway. As though plucked from the mouth of some forgotten temple, the Lions at Guard Sculptures harbor an ancient knowledge in their steady gaze and noble profiles. Taut tendons and rippling musculature give these stoic beasts an air of realism, while their weathered sand finishes convey quiet impact.

2. Doormats and Stair Treads: For drama felt in every footfall, outfit your entryway with stair treads and doormats. The recycled rubber Tuscany Stair Treads and Doormats are platforms of cobblestone fringed by cool-toned pebbles. Ascending your front steps or pooling outward from the threshold, these treads and mats beckon all into the arid reaches of your own Tuscan villa.

3. Address Plaques: Those standard black digits might whimper your house number into the streets, but the LaRoyal House Number Plaques will brandish your address with finesse. The bronze- or black-finished base is an ornate backdrop of twining scrolls. Raised gold or silver numbers display your house number. For weather and tarnish resistance, all plaques are finished with a protective powder coat.

4. Planters and Plant Stands: Perfect for displaying greenery, planters and plant stands give entryways a natural flourish. The Classic Roman Column Pedestal is antiquated and stately, alluring to time-honored architecture. With its scrolling volutes and ornate leaves, the ornamentation on this ionic column echoes the lush florals with which you will crown it.

All of these and more are the items necessary to spark a theatrical presence right at your front door. The outdoor area is an extension of your inner living space, a preview of sights soon to behold. So, tantalize your visitors. Make their every entrance a grand entrance.
