The Welcome Scraper design sits in the gray PVC surface and holds its colour outdoors, where a printed mat fades within a season. This is a scraper mat, built for the door that takes the worst of the weather. The PVC loops stand up to sun, rain and frost without going brittle or fading out to grey, and the open structure lets grit drop through to the ground rather than sitting on the surface waiting to be walked back inside. It will not hold water, so there is nothing to go musty in a wet week, and it dries between showers. The backing grips so the mat stays where it was put rather than sliding on a smooth threshold. Cleaning takes a shake and a hose. The low profile clears an inward opening door, and the mat suits a front step, a back door, a patio or a covered porch equally well. Measures 30 x 18 inches.
