ZONE 2

WaterHog Mats

The critical middle zone. Scraping + moisture capture in one mat. Up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard.

THE CRITICAL MIDDLE ZONE

Where Scraping Meets Wiping

Zone 2 is your vestibule or interior entryway — the transition space where visitors have already passed the outdoor scraper but still carry moisture and fine grit in their shoe treads. This is where WaterHog mats excel.

The signature bi-level "waffle" construction does double duty: raised rubber dams scrape remaining dirt while recessed channels trap moisture below foot level — up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard. Solution-dyed PET fibers resist fading, staining, and crushing, even in high-traffic commercial entrances. And the rubber-reinforced face won't rot, mildew, or break down like cheaper alternatives.

From the classic waffle pattern to herringbone, diamond, and parquet designs, WaterHog offers the industry's widest selection of scraper/wiper mats. Need to cover a large lobby? We carry tiles and roll goods. Want your logo front and center? Choose from inlay, molded, or HD digital printing.
If your entrance only has room for ONE mat, choose Zone 2. A WaterHog scraper/wiper handles both scraping and moisture removal. A single 4'×6' WaterHog is better than no system at all.

Which WaterHog Is Right for You?

Standard Entrance

Start with WaterHog Classic (waffle) or WaterHog Diamond (upscale). Add Drainable Border for uncovered outdoor spots.

Large Area Coverage

WaterHog Max Roll Goods (custom cut to any size) or Max Tiles / Modular Tiles (link together, replace individually).

Branded Entrance

Impressions HD for detailed logos. Inlay for bold geometric logos. Sculptures for 100+ mat volume orders. Roll Goods Inlay for large branded lobbies.

Launderable

WaterHog Plus — nitrile rubber backing built for commercial laundry. The only WaterHog that survives the washer.

Where to Place WaterHog Mats

Primary Placements

  • Inside vestibule (after exterior scraper)
  • Immediately inside main entrance doors
  • Transition zone between outside and lobby
  • Single-door entrances (when only one mat fits)

Often Overlooked

  • Elevator lobbies on each floor
  • Interior corridor transitions
  • Secondary entrances from parking garages
  • Building-to-building connectors
  • Cafeteria and break room entrances
For maximum effectiveness, allow 6-10 feet of WaterHog coverage — enough for visitors to take 3-4 full steps. This is the longest zone in the system because it does the most work.

What Makes WaterHog Different

Bi-level surface design

Raised rubber nubs scrape shoes clean. Recessed channels trap dirt and moisture below foot level where it can't be tracked out. This is the core WaterHog innovation.

Water dam border

Raised edge contains moisture on the mat — holds up to 1.5 gallons per square yard. Water stays on the mat, not on your lobby floor. (Choose Drainable Border for uncovered outdoor spots.)

Solution-dyed PET fabric

Won't fade, stain, or rot. Dries faster than nylon. Made from recycled plastic bottles on most models. Indoor and outdoor rated.

Crush-resistant construction

Reinforced rubber nubs prevent pile from crushing under heavy traffic. The mat maintains its performance and appearance for years — not weeks.
NEXT IN THE SYSTEM

Zone 3: Carpeted Wiper Mats

After WaterHog removes dirt and moisture, carpeted wiper mats capture the final fine dust and present a polished interior appearance. This is also where logo mats shine — branding at the point of entry.
