A Better Fit for Narrow Entryways: Introducing the 3×10 WaterHog Mat

As winter approaches, many facilities begin preparing for the increase in dirt, slush, and moisture that inevitably makes its way indoors. Entry mats play a critical role during this time, helping to keep floors safe, clean, and professional-looking — all while reducing maintenance demands.

WaterHog mats have long been a trusted part of this effort. Their durable construction, high absorption, and ability to trap debris make them a go-to choice for businesses that value cleanliness and safety year-round. To add to the selection, we are now offering a 3×10 size, ideal for entryways and transitional areas that lean toward a narrower design.

Where The 3x10 Size Waterhog Mat Fits Best

The 3×10 WaterHog mat is designed for entry and transition areas where people track in moisture, slush, or dirt from outdoors, providing an extra layer of protection before reaching main work areas.

It is particularly practical for:

  • Restaurants & Food Service: Positioned at staff or delivery entrances to capture moisture and dirt before entering food prep or dining spaces.
  • Manufacturing Facilities: Used in transition zones between outdoor docks and indoor production areas, helping minimize tracked-in dust or snow.
  • Automotive & Logistics: Effective at building entrances where employees move between garages, yards, or loading areas and office spaces — stopping debris before it spreads indoors.
  • Pharmaceutical & Food Processing: A smart first layer of cleanliness control, helping reduce the amount of dirt and moisture entering sanitized or controlled environments.

Across these industries, the 3×10 mat helps facilities maintain cleaner floors, safer surfaces, and a professional appearance, even in high-traffic areas.

A Small Change, Meaningful Impact

The 3×10 WaterHog mat shares the same trusted construction, durability, and performance as the rest of the WaterHog lineup — what sets it apart is its length. This size was added to better accommodate facilities where space or layout calls for a longer, narrower mat.

That extra length allows for more steps across the mat, which is a key factor in how effectively dirt and moisture are removed from footwear. The more contact a person’s shoes have with the mat, the greater the amount of debris and moisture captured before it reaches interior floors.

It is a small adjustment, but one that enhances the overall performance of an entry mat system — helping businesses maintain cleaner, safer spaces with every step.
