Waterhog Grand Premier Half-Oval: One end rounded, one end flat (but a short length vs. "One-End" model)

Waterhog Grand Premier manufacturers set out to construct the mat the way engineers set out to create a high-quality automobile: they began by listing the standards the mat would adhere to - the most superior dirt and contaminant protection, safety from slippage, and durability while incorporating a very attractive appearance and price - and then worked "backward" on the mat until they achieved it.

Because dirt in your home and other buildings is now verified as one of today's top health risks, one of two primary counter-measures to the risks (the other is proper home cleaning) is to use high-quality mats at your doorways and other key high-traffic areas.

Below is why the Waterhog Grand Premier is the one mat we most highly recommend to consumers and businesses who are health and safety conscious:

Why Choose the Waterhog Grand Premier Mats Over ANY Other Mat?

• Traps Dirt and Liquids: Distinctive "water-dam" border traps soil and liquids in the mat so they don't drain or track onto your floors … while vastly minimizing slipping

• Keeps Dirt and Liquids Beneath Shoe Level: Unique ridged construction effectively removes and traps dirt and moisture beneath shoe level, so contaminants are not tracked into the home

• Dries Very Fast and Resists Corrosion: Made of the completely safe premium polypropylene fiber system that dries remarkably fast, preventing a "harbor" for germs and molds, and resists corrosion by salt

• Won't Slip: Special rubber backing fixes the mat in place so, unlike most other mats, it won't slip on hard surfaces or carpets

• Lasts Much Longer Than Other Mats: The permanent rubber-reinforced pattern prevents pile from crushing, and the polypropylene construction resists fading or rotting. Outlasts even vinyl mats many times over!

• Simple to Clean: Just vacuum or hose off!

• Attractive and Affordable: The unique diamond-shaped pattern capped with an attractive half-oval "sunburst" adds distinction to any doorway

• Use Indoors or Outdoors: The Waterhog Grand Premier's highly durable and attractive fashion border makes it the perfect choice for indoor or outdoor applications

• Choice of Colors & Sizes: 7 colors, three shapes, 31 total sizes in all to choose from … see below!

Why Should You AVOID These Common Types of Inferior Mats?

Coir, Sisal, and Other Fibrous Mats: Coir is made from coconut fibers. Sisal is made from the fibers of agave plants. Other fibrous mats include those made from rush, seagrass and maize. While these mats are cheap and can look nice, their key disadvantages (aside from being uncomfortable to bare feet) is that they do not retain dirt, dust or water very well. In fact, they are notorious for "kicking up dust" - precisely the opposite of what a good mat should do. Further, they wear out quickly and can rapidly become slippery.

Cotton Mats: While cotton (especially organic cotton) is an ideal fabric for clothing, the opposite is true of its use as a mat. For the same reasons that cotton mops and rags should be avoided, you should avoid cotton mats - they are key harbingers of germs and mold, which is especially an issue as doormats are where so many germs and mold spores from the outside are deposited. Cotton soaks up and retains moisture, which is an environment in which mold spores and most germs thrive. Therefore, cotton mats have to be washed very frequently. They also slip around on most surfaces due to little traction, and from an aesthetic standpoints, they also "show" dirt stains very easily.

Metal, Wood and Other "Hard" Materials: While aesthetically pleasing, doormats made of metals, woods and other hard materials do almost nothing in the way of absorbing dirt, dust, and water and should not be used if you are seeking to use doormats to keep contaminants out of your home.

Common Components of "Dirt" & "Dust" Tracked Into Your Home Include:

• Bacteria
• Viruses
• Rodent and other animal waste
• Mold spores
• Dust mites and their feces
• Pollen
• Animal dander and feathers
• Pesticides
• Plant and insect parts
• Construction debris (adhesives, sawdust, etc.)
• PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls)
• PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons)
• Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury
• Flame retardants like polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
• Paint particles
• Sand and soil particles
• Asbestos

Once tracked into your home, a large proportion of dirt becomes dust, meaning your floors, furniture, counters, fans, and of course air can literally be saturated with irritants and toxins like those noted in the list above.

Why is indoor air pollution 2-5 times more prevalent inside than from the outside, from where these contaminants were tracked in? Because your home is a contained environment - once inside there is nowhere for the dirt and dust to go but onto your skin and into your lungs.

Furthermore, the problem is far worse these days as doors, windows and other components of homes are built for energy efficiency to tightly seal in heat and air conditioning and keep the outside weather entirely outside. Like Tupperware, this tightly contains everything inside including all the contaminants.

That's why - odd as it may sound - the proper doormats and mats throughout your home that truly capture dirt and prevent it from become dust in your house are one of today's most essential health tools!

And the Waterhog Grand Premier is, as noted above, by far the mat that absorbs the most dirt and fluids containing contaminants that can pose serious health risks!

Choosing Color of Your Waterhog Grand Premier

The Waterhog Grand Premier comes in the 7 colors you can see below. These colors were chosen as they blend beautifully with home interiors and exteriors.

If you are still uncertain of which to choose, simply visualize the color schemes of the interior areas where you intend to place your Waterhogs and the exterior and you'll see most of these colors blend well (so it comes down to your preference). If you are still unsure, an easy rule of thumb is that the color of khaki - just as when you wear the color -- goes with anything, as it is a neutral color.
