|
The power of first impressions begins at your front door.
Whether you're looking to set the tone for your home, keep your floors clean, or simply make your guests smile, your outdoor door mat should stand out.
Step after step, your mat's job is to keep dirt and water out, and large outdoor door mats are key players in getting better results. These mean cleaner floors for longer.
Plus, extra large front door mats can balance your door nicely and create a stylish statement at your doorstep.
Here are the factors you should consider when choosing the perfect large outdoor door mat for your home:
1. What is a standard size for large outdoor door mats?
You need to know exactly how big your mat should be.
One of the most commonly purchased extra large front door mat sizes is the 24" x 60" as standard double door sizes begin at 60" wide.
With these dimensions, our Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormat Runner works so well for double doors and larger entrances.
2. Now that you have the size down, choosing the right material for large outdoor door mats is crucial.
Your outdoor door mat faces all sorts of challenges - rain, sun, dirt, and more. It takes a beating.
But with the right material, your doormat can be a standout, no matter the weather.
Large outdoor door mats made from natural fiber like coir, jute, and seagrass are popular, but these are best for indoors. They don't hold up well in harsh weather and will shed and rot, so you’ll need to replace them often.
Rubber mats are tough and waterproof, but they can crack in freezing temperatures and get really hot in the summer.
If you want a large outdoor door mat that is indestructible and absolutely ready for anything, the Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormat Runners are up to the challenge.
These extra large front door mats are handwoven from marine-grade polysteel rope designed for securing lobster traps in the sea. They can easily handle the sun, rain, snow, sand and salt for years to come.
Unlike natural rope, this synthetic lobster rope won't rot over time. If it can survive the ocean, it can certainly handle your front door traffic and the elements. These large outdoor door mats are simply built to last.
Plus, Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormats are tightly woven on special looms, and their ends are permanently melted together. So, your outdoor door mat stays strong in any weather, ready for all four seasons.
3. Avoid lightweight outdoor mats – even large outdoor door mats can fly away in wind and storms if they are not heavy enough.
When it comes to large outdoor door mats, those made from lightweight materials like thin plastic or low-density rubber are at risk of being whisked away by strong winds. These airy mats lack the heft and grip needed to stay put when the weather gets gusty.
To keep your mat where it belongs, go for a heavier option like the Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormat Runner. This extra large front door mat is not your average doormat for outdoors.
Crafted from heavyweight polysteel rope, they weigh 16 pounds each, ensuring they won't ever get carried away by strong winds.
4. Large outdoor door mats that don’t dry quickly enough can grow mold. Choose one that resists mildew and mold.
Moisture, mold and mildew are real concerns for doormats outside. If you pick an extra large front door mat that doesn't dry fast, you're inviting mold and mildew to your home. Wet carpeted mats, in particular, can be a hassle – they hang onto moisture and make cleaning such a daunting chore.
Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormat Runners are the best option, simply because they dry fast and resist mold and mildew. Thanks to their woven design, each large outdoor door mat stays fresh and dry, even after getting wet over and over again. For years.
5. Never vacuum an outdoor doormat. It’s a waste of time because they get dirty so quickly. Go for a large outdoor door mat that's a breeze to clean.
Cleaning doormats can be a real hassle, from the wall-whacking routine to battling dirt with a vacuum. Carpeted mats are a common outdoor mat choice, but they're quick to get dirty and collect lint - not fun at all!
On the other hand, cleaning is a breeze for Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormat Runners. Just give it a good shake or a quick hosing down, and your entrance stays fresh and welcoming. No more fuss, just easy cleaning for these large outdoor door mats right at your doorstep.
6. Stay clear of large outdoor door mats that hold onto dirt - they may develop odors.
We've all encountered those large outdoor door mats that become dirt traps and start to smell – not the most welcoming sight, right? Lobster Rope Doormats are never one of them.
Each Wicked Good Doormat Runner comes with a rugged woven design that gets rid of dirt so easily. Thanks to its special "catch and release" weave, debris doesn't stick around, ensuring each large outdoor door mat stays clean and inviting.
Lobster Rope Doormats feature a raised weave that grabs onto mud and dirt, allowing it to pass through the mat. Just lift the mat and give it a quick sweep to say goodbye to the dirt.
7. Look for large outdoor door mats with added UV protection.
The best material for large outdoor door mats should be treated with added UV protection to slow down fading and breakage from the sun.
With up to 6x added UV protection, Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormat Runners come with extra vivid colors - with ropes built to keep their colors longer.
Choosing a large outdoor door mat that’s unbeatable when it comes to quality, color and material just makes good sense. As a result, you won't have to replace your doormat frequently, saving you money in the long run.
With Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormat Runners, you’ll have an outdoor mat that can put up with anything and never fall apart.
