Key Features & Benefits
- Custom made-to-measure sizing — from a small mat for a tight boot room to a runner for a van or a massive reception walkway, we provide a custom-sized mat to fit. In certain fleck colours (Anthracite, Cedar, Granite, Pearl & Steel) you can go up to 2m wide (1.5m wide in the rest) and any length up to 7m
- Superior dirt & moisture capture — the high-twist nylon pile effectively scrapes grime and traps moisture from footwear, keeping internal floors clean and dry
- Certified non-slip stability — our 100% nitrile rubber backing is NFSI certified high-traction. It will not ripple, crack or curl, keeping the mat in place on both carpets and hard floors
- Machine washable — easy to maintain and fully machine-washable, making these a favourite for pet owners and busy households
- Professional durability — backed by a 5-year manufacturer’s guarantee and an 11-year guarantee against significant colour loss
Mats With or Without Borders
- With rubber borders: provides a low-profile, trip-resistant edge, ideal for mats placed directly on top of floor surfaces. The size you order includes the borders (+/-3% manufacturing tolerance)
- Without rubber borders: the professional choice for mat well / recess fitting. We recommend ordering slightly oversized for these installations to allow for on-site trimming for a snug, seamless finish
Different Backings to Help Reduce Movement
The 100% nitrile rubber backing will not ripple, split, crack or curl, even in high footfall areas. With a choice of backing types to help keep the mat in place on hard floors or carpets, Shades Custom Heavy Duty mats will keep performing and looking great for many years.

How to Order Custom Sizes
- Select “Custom Size” from the Size dropdown menu
- Choose your Colour, Backing Type (Claw for carpet, Smooth for hard floors), and Border preference
- Enter your required Width and Length in the boxes that appear
- The price will automatically be calculated based on your exact dimensions
There are minimum and maximum custom sizes. Larger sizes cost less per m², as shown in the Measurement Price Bands displayed.
Please note: the custom size you enter is the size the mat will be made to, including borders. Due to natural shrinkage in the manufacturing process, there may be a +/- 3% size variation on made-to-measure mats made with borders — mats made without borders are cut to your exact size requirement. Custom-sized items are made to your specific measurements, so please ensure accurate measurements. Returns for custom items are limited to manufacturing defects or errors on our part; returns for correctly supplied mats are considered at our discretion and will incur a customisation fee, with the buyer responsible for return shipping costs. See our Refund and Returns Policy for more detailed information.
Ordering to Fit in a Mat Well / Recess
Choose “No Rubber Border.” Ensure you measure accurately, you may wish to add a little to each dimension to allow you to trim to size on-site for a snug fit, which is simple to do with a sharp utility knife and steel rule. The total mat depth is approx. 11.5mm and is recommended for use in mat wells with a depth of between 9mm and 11.5mm.
Delivery Timescale
Due to the custom nature of these mats, a lead time of approx. 2 weeks is required for production and delivery. The mats are currently made in our EU factory, and you’ll receive notifications from our courier DHL when your mat is on its way to you. See our current delivery timescale at the top of this page.
Need your mats more quickly and don’t require customisation? See our Shades Heavy Duty Mats product in standard sizes, with border and in UK stock for delivery in just 3 working days. Alternatively, our Shades Eco Heavy Duty Mats can be custom-sized and are made in the UK for delivery in approximately 1 week.
Roll Out the Red Carpet
The VIP Red Shades Custom Heavy Duty Mat is a popular choice for creating a striking “red carpet” effect at celebrations, ceremonies and special events. Available in lengths up to 7m, these mats can be rolled out quickly and rolled back up for easy cleaning and storage — a simple, durable solution for your most important walkways.

FAQs
Q: How long will my custom shades heavy duty mat take to arrive?
Due to the custom nature of these mats, a lead time of approx. 2 to 3 weeks is required for production and delivery. If you need something faster, our Shades Heavy Duty Mats (standard sizes, in UK stock) deliver in just 3 working days, or our Shades Eco Heavy Duty Mats can be custom-sized with UK manufacture in around 1 week.
Q: Can the mat be cut to fit an unusual shape, like a boat or a bay window?
Yes. Choose “No Rubber Border” and order slightly oversized so you can trim on-site with a sharp utility knife and steel rule for a snug, seamless finish.
Q: Which colour range should I choose — Fleck or Solid?
Fleck colours are best for high-traffic entrances, schools and muddy boots, as they mask debris well between cleans. Solid colours suit offices, showrooms and luxury residential interiors where a bold, uniform look matters more than dirt-hiding.
Q: Is it suitable for a mat well or recess?
Yes. Order without a rubber border, the total mat depth is approx. 11.5mm, recommended for mat wells between 9mm and 11.5mm deep.
Q: Is it machine washable?

Bradshaw’s –
Great product and quick service.
Anne Brown –
Our made to measure mat was exactly what we ordered and fit perfectly. The colour was as shown. Ordering was very straightforward.
Roger Powell –
Trusted Mats is a good place to buy a mat. I bought a made-to-measure front door mat and they were millimetre perfect in the manufacture. The quality appears good, we’ll see how it’s doing after a couple of years of use, maybe I’ll leave another review then.
As it was made to order it took a couple of weeks but I knew that before I ordered. I appreciate the plastic wrapping is necessary to protect the product but personally I wish companies would use much less.
Simone Illger –
Super quality, great to have a mat made to a specific size (ideal for our wide sliding doors). Good communication throughout the whole ordering and delivery process. Very happy customer!

Having placed my Trust in ‘Trusted Mats’, I can confirm was the ‘Right’ choice made from the start of the New year when shopping for a fabulous Red Carpet-runner look for a large community faith/hall. Absolutely astonished by the outcome, fantastic fit, fantastic quality and finish of both heavy duty mat as well as the soft carpet layer with absolute precision’ look. Website was very easy to use, and we had brilliant communication with Trusted Mats, who clearly understood our needs and worked very well in accommodating our faith-hall needs.

Placing the order was very easy, loved that we could ask for a specific size. What arrived is exactly what we wanted for our Bio Folds
Stephen Weil –
I ordered a custom heavy duty mat from Trusted Mats to go in the companion way of my boat – nothing is worse than a wet, muddy floor in a small boat.
I made a paper template to fit round the complicated floor shape & then cut through the rubber backing with a Stanley knife. Tricky, but very pleased with the result & the mat certainly adds a touch comfort to the cabin & keeps the damp & dirt at bay.
Ordering was easy. Delivery was as confirmed and I was kept updated on the progress of my order. The goods were shipped by DHL on a tracked service.
Very pleased with my mat and the service from Trusted Mats and, based on my experience, would certainly recommend the company
Paul Turner –
Great quality products and great service – thanks.
Mary Jane Hawden –
Great service & quality. Made to order and worth the wait of delivery. Highly recommend.

It was not clear from the site that the delivery was from the EU, and would take as long as it did. The cost without the rubber surround is higher than with it! The mat has lost bits of pile already as it appears that the edging has simply been cut off and not welded or sealed. Altogether, very poor value and a disappointment.
Reply from Trusted Mats:
Thank you for reaching out with your feedback and for your time on the telephone just now. I’m sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.
Delivery Time: Our standard delivery time on this custom made product is 2 weeks, and we delivered in 17 days, including Christmas and Boxing Day. We understand the inconvenience and will clearly indicate on our website that this product is shipped from the EU.
Price without Rubber Surround: Mats without borders require wider fabric and result in more material waste, hence the slightly higher cost. This is not necessarily known by our customers, so I hope this helps explain the reasoning.
Mat Edging and Quality: The fabric is heat bonded to the rubber backing. The bits at the very edges that are not in contact with the backing may come away after the cut, but this does not indicate further fraying. We assure you that the mat is of high quality.
We stand by our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. If you have any further issues or concerns, please feel free to send us photos or contact us, and we will be happy to assist you. We stand by our guarantees if there are any issues with the mat.
Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to serve you better in the future.

Lovely mat, just what we needed.

Very happy with quality of product, delivery service and customer service. Excellent communication throughout purchase. Can highly recommend this company. Thank you to all the staff.
rod Dickinson –
Brilliant robust matts. Mine cam quickly and was exactly what I was after for my van.
Len Teff –
Looking to replace a coir doormat, I emailed Trusted Mats at 7.00 one evening for advice. Thirty minutes later I had a detailed reply from Mark O’Sullivan. That kind of commitment to customer service is sadly not that common and impressed me enough to follow his recommendation.
One of the qualities that particularly attracted me was that it could be cleaned in a washing machine – unlike the coir.
Fortunately, the mat itself has been a great success. It arrived earlier than predicted and cut exactly to size. It has also resolved the problem we had with the previous coir matting.
The only comment I would make is that the specific material and colour of the new mat does slightly show damp foot marks. But that also confirms that it’s doing its job of drying shoes and protecting our carpets!
S Avgoulis –
Awesome! A little pricey BUT great guy to buy from and still cheaper than any other provider despite the ‘pricey’ comment. OH and whopping quality as I had anticipated. Overall? Buy your rugs/mats from this guy! Thankyou for the samples too!
