Mud protective bristles

Mud protection bristled coatings are a modern popular material designed to protect the interior of the house from street dirt. Such mats are not too expensive, the effect of using them can be very good.

What is the material

Sale bristled coatings are usually in rolls - running meters. They represent an elastic flexible material with a thick rubber backing and artificial pile, most often made of polyethylene or polyurethane. Being bedded in front of the front door, these mats effectively clean dirt from the soles of street shoes. The colors of the bristled coatings can be different. Looks like these products are usually very aesthetic, and therefore can serve as an adornment of the hallway or porch. Cleaned mud simply falls between the villi and becomes completely invisible. In another way bristly dirt-repellent coatings are also called "grass".

Benefits of using

Only one small bristled mat, packed near the door, can collect up to 3 kg of dirt at a time. Of course, this significantly reduces the cleaning time of the building's interior. The mat itself is only enough to knock out from time to time with a stick and rinse, for example, under the stream of water from a garden hose.

In addition to protecting against dirt and, consequently, microbes, the bristly covering of "grass" can fulfill another important function. Very often it is stuck on the porches in the winter period to prevent icing of the steps and slipping. It is simply impossible to fall on a tile carpeted with such a carpet.

Types of rugs

The "grass" cover can differ according to several signs:

• Length and thickness of the pile;

• Distance between tufts of bristles;

• Substrate substrate thickness.

Scope of use

Most often, the rugs of this variety can be seen in front of the entrance doors of suburban private cottages. The steles are small "bristly" squares and in front of the doors of the city apartments. You can put such a rug not only in the entrance or on the porch, but also in the hallway itself. These coatings often look very beautiful, and all thanks to the original arrangement of the bunches of "villi" and pleasant colors.

Very often bristly covering "grass" is also laid in front of the entrances to offices, cafes, restaurants, shops. In this case, the most durable models, resistant to abrasion, are usually used. Sometimes such rugs can also be seen in the halls and on the stairs of public institutions.

In addition, they, of course, will prevent the slide on the tile, and perhaps even become a real decoration of the interior.
