Vinyl edge binding: yes or no?
When ordering your custom entrance mat, you can choose between a mat with or without a vinyl border. Both options have their own advantages and are suitable for different situations. The location where you plan to place the mat usually determines which option suits you best.
Our golden rule: For placement in a recess, always without a vinyl border; for placement on the floor, you can choose whatever suits your needs.
Below we explain both options so you can easily make the right choice.
Without vinyl border - For the perfect fit
The ideal choice for recesses and minimalists
Choosing an entrance mat without a vinyl border means choosing maximum flexibility and a clean finish. This option is perfect for placement in a recess in your floor, where you want the mat to run exactly to the edges of the recess.
Why without a vinyl border?
- Perfect for recesses: The mat runs right to the edge of your floor recess for a seamless transition
- Minimalist design: Provides a clean, modern look with no visible borders
- Easy to trim at home: Can easily be adjusted at home with a Stanley knife for the perfect fit
- Also on the floor: Can also be used on the floor for a subtle, minimalist look
We always recommend this option for placement in a recess. This way you get the finest finish, with the mat fitting perfectly against the edges of your recess.
With vinyl border - For durability and finish
The professional choice for floor placement
An entrance mat with a vinyl border offers you the ultimate protection and a professional appearance. The sturdy vinyl border around the mat not only provides a neat finish but also protects the edges of your mat against wear and fraying.
Why with a vinyl border?
- Extra protection: Prevents fraying and wear at the edges, keeping your mat looking great for longer
- Stable positioning: The border ensures your mat stays firmly in place
- Robust: Perfect for intensive use in busy entrances
- Water-resistant: The vinyl border repels moisture and provides extra protection for the floor underneath
Please note: Mats with a vinyl border are less suitable for placement in recesses, as you will not achieve the desired seamless connection between the mat and the edges of the recess.
Can't decide between the two options?
- Recess in the floor: Always without a vinyl border for the perfect fit
- On the floor + intensive use: With a vinyl border for extra durability
- On the floor + clean look: Without a vinyl border for a minimalist effect
