All-weather mats can be placed in entryways of businesses, or in outdoor areas of homes. They are resistant to harsh weather and moisture. Patio door mats are excellent at removing dirt and debris from shoes. Oftentimes, entranceways are prone to prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight, UV rays and ozone emissions.

Many people may or may not have a preference in what they want their mats made out of, but there are various types of materials that are used to make the mats. Some all-weather mats are made from an all-natural material called coir. Coir comes from coconuts that have been harvested in the coconut industry. The husks are then turned into this natural, rough material, which is used in patio door mats. The mats, because of their rough texture, are great at scraping dirt off of shoes. Other types of external door mats can be made entirely of rubber, as with rolled rubber runners. Usually the type of rubber that is used is recycled rubber and comes from old tires. Both the coir and recycled rubber mats can be said to be eco-friendly because they use old waste and turn it into something new. Other mats may have synthetic rubber mixed in with them, which may not be considered to be eco-friendly. All-weather mats are available in different designs as well.
