The versatile carpeted wiper mat: Classic Solutions offers the broadest color selection in M+A’s carpeted mat lineup with your choice of economical SBR or premium nitrile backing.
The solution-dyed Type 6 nylon surface stops dust, dirt, and moisture at your door while providing a professional carpet appearance. High-twist, heat-set construction resists crushing to maintain performance and appearance in high-traffic areas.
Choose your backing:
Position as Zone 3 in your entry system — the final wiper that transitions visitors from entrance zone to interior environment.
11 colors available. Indoor use. NFSI certified high-traction. Made in USA by M+A Matting.
Classic Solutions Matis M+A’s workhorse carpeted wiper mat — the go-to choice when you need solid performance, broad color selection, and flexible backing options at a reasonable price point.
Unlike specialty carpeted mats (Classic Brush for aggressive scraping, Classic Plush for premium thickness, ColorStar for eco-friendly PET), Classic Solutions delivers straightforward cut pile nylon performance with the widest color palette in the lineup.
The key flexibility: choose your backing. SBR rubber costs less but can’t be commercially laundered. Nitrile rubber costs more but handles commercial laundry programs and resists oil/grease. Match your backing to your maintenance program and budget.
Solution-Dyed Type 6 Nylon Color is built into the fiber structure, not applied to the surface. Impervious to bleach, fade-resistant, and maintains appearance through years of use.
High-Twist, Heat-Set Construction The 23 oz/yd² cut pile resists crushing to trap dirt effectively and maintain appearance in high-traffic areas.
Flexible Backing Options Choose SBR rubber for budget-conscious applications or nitrile rubber for commercial laundry programs and demanding environments.
Broad Color Selection 16 colors available — more than any other M+A carpeted mat line. Match your interior design.
NFSI Certified High-Traction Tested and certified slip-resistant by the National Floor Safety Institute.
Made in USA Manufactured by M+A Matting.

Standards & Certifications
Classic Solutions is designed for indoor use only. The cut pile nylon construction is optimized for interior environments.
Exception: Can be used in covered outdoor areas (porticos, covered walkways) where protected from direct weather exposure.
For outdoor scraper/wiper needs, use WaterHog or SuperScrape products.
Regular Maintenance:
Deep Cleaning:
For nitrile-backed mats only. SBR-backed mats cannot be commercially laundered.
Standard Formula:
Heavy Soil: Increase temperature to max 140°F (60°C). Break should not exceed pH 9.5; use low-pH non-ionic detergents.
What’s the difference between Classic Solutions and Classic Solutions Plus?
Backing options and colors. Classic Solutions offers both SBR (budget) and nitrile (launderable) backing with 16 colors. Solutions Plus is nitrile-only with 5 colors — every unit is launderable.
Can I commercially launder Classic Solutions mats?
Only if you choose nitrile backing. SBR-backed mats cannot be laundered — the rubber will crack and curl.
Which backing should I choose?
SBR for budget-conscious applications where laundering isn’t needed. Nitrile for commercial laundry programs, demanding environments, or oil/grease exposure.
Is Classic Solutions good for high-traffic areas?
Yes. The high-twist, heat-set nylon resists crushing. For very heavy traffic or cart traffic, choose 90-mil or 100-mil MegaHold nitrile backing.
Can I use bleach on Classic Solutions?
Yes. Solution-dyed fibers are impervious to bleach.
Why are some colors only available in certain widths?
Manufacturing efficiency. High-volume colors are available in all widths; specialty colors have limited width availability.
