Our latest update to the Materials Library for the Virtual Decorator Software are Woven Mat Materials.
A mat is a flat object mostly rectangular or square shaped that is placed immediately outside the entrance to a house for the purpose of allowing occupants or visitors to easily wipe the soles of their shoes before entering inside the building.
Traditional doormats where usually made from tough, long-lasting material woven together such as coir, palm tree stalks and fibers.

A mat is a generic term for a piece of fabric or flat material, generally placed on a floor or other flat surface, and serving a range of purposes including:
- providing a regular or flat surface, such as a mousepad.
- protecting that which is beneath the mat, such as a place mat or the matting used in archival framing and preservation of documents and paintings.
- protecting that which is above the mat, such as a wrestling or gymnastics mat, or an anti-vibration mat.
- changing the state of that which passes above it, such as a doormat attracting dirt from shoes.
In domestic settings:
- A doormat is a flat, usually rectangular object placed immediately outside or inside the entrance to a house or other building, to allow people to easily scrub or wipe the soles of their shoes before entering. Doormats are usually made from tough, long-lasting material such as coir, palmyra (palm tree) fibres and stalks, nylon, rubber, cloth, or aluminium and other metals. Doormats may also be known as welcome mats, as their location at an entrance constitutes a “welcome” to visitors, and may therefore also bear some word, message or sign of greeting. This in turn has given rise to a subculture of cartoons featuring characters returning home to find (to the reader) a humorous message on the doormat. The lowly purpose for which doormats exist has also led to informal use of the term as a reference to people who behave timidly or passively when exploited by others (see also Caspar Milquetoast).
