Consolidated Plastics Aquasorb Premiere Entrance Floor Mat - Heavy

In this review of the Aquasorb Premiere entrance mat, the bottom line is simple: it is a heavy duty, environmentally minded entrance mat best suited for busy commercial or residential entryways that need dependable water capture and long-term durability. The reviewer found the mat's most persuasive attribute to be its premium 30 oz carpet top made from 100% post consumer recycled PET, which delivers strong absorbency and a dense feel underfoot while putting used plastic bottles to practical use.

Key Features

• Recycled carpet top: The 30 oz fiber is made from 100% post consumer recycled PET, giving effective water pickup while reducing waste.
• High absorbency: Dense pile and fiber weight work together to trap water from shoes so floors inside stay drier and safer.
• Rubber reinforced face: The unique face pattern is rubber reinforced to resist crushing and hold up in high traffic areas.
• Thick non slip backing: The 78 mil SBR rubber backing includes cleats and keeps the mat from crawling on carpeted surfaces.
• Eco-conscious backing: The heavy duty rubber backing is made with 20% post consumer recycled rubber tire material for added durability.
• Sturdy overall construction: At about 3/8 in thickness the mat stays flat and resists bunching or curling over time.

Who It's For

This mat works well for small businesses, offices, and homeowners who want a robust entrance mat that handles wet conditions and shows an environmental preference for recycled materials. Facilities that see frequent foot traffic will benefit from the durable rubber backing and reinforced face pattern that resist wear.

It is less appropriate for very large entryways where a single 3 ft by 5 ft mat might be too small; customers needing wider coverage should consider pairing multiple mats or choosing a larger-size mat. Also, those wanting decorative patterns or plush residential-only carpeting may prefer a softer, less industrial option.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Made from recycled PET fiber offering strong absorbency and eco-friendly material use.
• Very heavy duty 78 mil SBR rubber backing that helps the mat lie flat and resist crawling on carpets.
• Rubber reinforced face pattern prevents crushing in high traffic zones and extends useful life.
• Sturdy construction and 3/8 in thickness provide a solid, stable mat that does not shift easily.

Cons

• Size may be small for some entryways; several customers reported mixed feelings about whether the 3 ft by 5 ft footprint is adequate.
• The industrial look and low profile may not suit those seeking a decorative home rug.
