When you are building a corridor, you need to think not only about the style of the interior, but also about the functional qualities of the room. This part of the dwelling is a filter between the house itself and the street itself. The hallway should be as small as possible to let the external mud inside.
The first thing a person sees when entering a room is the door rug. It would seem that the inconspicuous part of the hallway is a mat under our feet, but it performs a number of operational functions, the main one of which is keeping the house clean. To ensure that this detail of the interior does not "callose" the eyes of the tenants of the premises, it was fully consistent with its purpose, it was durable and comfortable, correct approaches to choosing, thinking out communication with the general interior of the corridor and convenience for both owners who have a rug all the time in sight and For guests who came to the house. Its availability, quality and design are important. He can create a lot of inconvenience: to put visitors in an awkward situation, and the hosts to add dirt to the house or, on the contrary, to bring a lot of benefit.
Nowadays, stores offer a wide variety of different models. You can choose a mat for yourself in accordance with your finances and taste preferences. In our opinion, the presence of two mats with different covers, behind the door and in front of it, increases their service life and gives double protection against street dirt. In this case, the first one does not have to be beautiful, the main thing is that it does not slip, has the properties to let dirt and dust through, allow as much "street" as possible to shake off the sole of the shoes.
The outer door mat can be made of plastic, metal nap, rubber honeycomb, "grass". It is not necessary to wash it often, it is enough just to remove dirt under it. Coverage can be laid out in a modular series if you need to equip a porch or you have a long path when approaching the front door. This is also convenient because when a certain part, as a rule of the middle, wears out, the whole mat is not replaced, but only its segment. There are also models produced on the principle of "two in one". This rug, having a rim made of rubber and a fleecy part in the middle, they are usually called barrier.
Inside the apartment, this interior element should be beautiful. It should be selected according to the color of your corridor, style, color. At the same time, it should also not slide, but perform its operational functions, it is easy to clean. Pad matted coconut, for example, cleans dry shoes well, but absorbs moisture very poorly. Therefore, if you do not have water absorbing material behind the door, then you should pick up synthetic microfiber for the apartment, it copes well with rain and snow pollution. Woolen rugs are durable, but they dry badly, and it is possible to clean them well only with a vacuum cleaner. Acrylic and nylon dry faster, easily washed in the machine, do not deform, in appearance they look like natural fibers. Pad rug Vortex is available with all sorts of ornaments and mottled patterns that will help to hide dirt and stains on it.
Which mat to choose, you decide, but the fact that it will help maintain the cleanliness of the house, there is no doubt.
