Animal Doormats

Animal Doormats

Do you have a pet at home? If so, FloorMatCompany.com’s line of animal doormats is perfect for you! Animals are an integral part of many of our lives in one way or another. Pets like cats, dogs, and fish are very popular—common in many households across the country. However, some animal enthusiasts are not pet owners themselves. Perhaps you live in an apartment that does not allow for pets, but you still enjoy participating in all the pet-related furnishings. After all, you do not need to own pets to love them. Animals have a special place in most of our hearts. Some people even like animals for their scientific merit, making a simple paw print doormat perfect. Do not think that this reduces animals to tools or objects for our valuation! Engaging in scientific fields such as evolution and ecology are great ways to love animals, too. In any case, to help you express your love and appreciation of animals, we offer a wide selection of animal doormats that feature a variety of different animal-themed designs. Whether it is an elegant cat doormat or a funny dog door mat, our adorable pet doormat designs are sure to make a good impression on all your guests. At the end of the day, pets put a smile on anyone’s face. They speak beyond boundaries, uniting us deeply in a way that words alone cannot wholly express.

The first and most obvious purpose behind a doormat is to fight the everyday grime that threatens to contaminate your home. But this is not the only purpose, of course. Adding a door mat to your front entrance adds aesthetic appeal to your home. Much like how dressing well gives people a good first impression, an aesthetically pleasing entrance is more likely to make a good first impression on your guests. Animal doormats fulfill this purpose in a unique manner because of their designs. An owl doormat or dog welcome mat can add the right level of charm to your entryway. These door mats are a great way to greet your guests with a warm, friendly welcome. A funny beware of dog doormat can add an element of much-needed humor while a fish-themed doormat may add an aquatic touch to a home near the beach. These aquatically-themed doormats are also great for those who simply enjoy the natural majesty of marine ecology. Sometimes, a fish tank alone is not enough. Fish enthusiasts can up their pride to the next level by placing one of our fish-themed doormats in their entryways. These animal doormats will give your guests a good idea of who you are and some of your unique interests.

More importantly, however, is the protective and cleanliness qualities that doormats bring to the area in front of your home. While these may look like average decorative cat and dog-themed doormats, they are very tough products that can help keep existing surfaces protected and interior areas clean. Although a cat, bird, and dog door mat may have different shapes and designs on them, they all bring a better level of protection to the porch or patio on which you place them.

A lot of this has to do with the materials that are used to create animal doormats. Typically, a pet doormat is made from coir and PVC materials. These are the perfect materials with which to make doormats due to their long-lasting durability in abrasive settings and outdoor environments. Coir is a naturally occurring resource that is extracted from the husks of coconuts. While this may be surprising to some people, it makes sense if we look at coconuts from an evolutionary perspective. Naturally, coconuts are seeds that have evolved to traverse expanses of ocean, wash up on nearby shores, then propagate its species. Because of this evolutionary development, coconut husks themselves are exceedingly durable—capable of withstanding the toughest outdoor conditions and all sorts of moisture. Thus, coir is a tough material that comes in handy on doormats for shoe scraping purposes. Once these fibers are dried and treated, they rigidify, turning into robust bristles that aggressively scrape away moisture, dirt, and other debris from shoe soles. For example, when someone rubs or scrapes their dirty, wet, and muddy footwear over the coir surface of animal doormats, the coir material will latch onto the outdoor debris particles and keeps them held within their fibers until the mat is cleaned. There is usually enough coir on the surface of animal doormats to allow for the scraping of even the hardest-to-reach areas of footwear. Coir is the material of choice for most door-matting applications.

The PVC material utilized in doormats is usually for the purpose of providing better floor protection and traction. Whether you have an owl doormat, a fish doormat, or a dog door mat, it is likely that they will possess a backing or frame that is made of PVC. When walking over PVC-backed animal doormats, the chances of them slipping out from under your feet are greatly reduced. The PVC material can grip onto existing surfaces like wood and concrete very well. Plus, PVC is waterproof. PVC backings and frames behave as barriers that prevent moisture trapped within the mat from contaminating the rest of your entryway. Thus, our mats store the contamination they remove from your guests’ shoe soles, only releasing it once you decide it is time for them to be cleaned.

Given the materials that they are made from, a pet doormat is perfect for outdoor use. Usually, outdoor weather conditions are factors that can cause concern for the longevity of a product; however, natural coir is not threatened by the elements because it can withstand the damaging effects of wet weather and UV rays. Coir is a moisture resistant material that will resist the development of mold and mildew that commonly results from prolonged exposure to sources of moisture, like precipitation.

If you have a love for natural environments that are home to the many animals we adore, you will be pleased to know that our line of animal doormats qualifies as eco-friendly products. It is the natural coir fibers that makes them eco-friendly. Coir is eco-friendly because it is a naturally occurring resource and its production leaves behind no hazardous or non-biodegradable waste. After all, coir is simply the dried and treated form of coconut husks, which are 100% biodegradable materials. Having coir door mats around can help you contribute to keeping the environment safer for the animals that you love.

Though, please keep in mind that—at the end of the day—much like our other flooring products, coir mats are wear products. That is, they are not intended as purchases that will last indefinitely. It is a matter of time that they will eventually wear out, needing repair or replacement. This is especially true of the designs stenciled upon their surfaces. While highly durable and resilient, they will, too, eventually fade over a prolonged period of time. This is something that the homeowner must contend with, and accept. For there is no door-mat that is guaranteed to last indefinitely. No matter where you get it from, at the end of the day, a door mat is a wear product. Please remember this as you browse our selection of products.
