There are certain areas of the home where water, dirt and small bits of debris always seem to end up: the hall on a rainy day, the dog’s bowl, the laundry room or the coffee corner. Having the right solution in the right place can make a real difference to your day-to-day life.

This is where our ‘magic doormat’ – the Teknos model – comes into its own: it’s far more versatile than its name might suggest. In this article , we’ll discover what makes it so practical, what its key strengths are, and how to make the most of the different sizes to find new uses for it both inside and outside the home.

Because sometimes all it takes is looking at a simple doormat from a different angle to realise just how many little problems it can solve every day.

• Because Teknos is much more than just a doormat

• Which size should you choose? 6 sizes, countless ways to use Teknos

• 25x70 cm: small space, big utility

• 40x60, 45x75 and 50x90 cm: the most versatile sizes

• 50x110 and 57x150 cm: turns into an absorbent runner

• Small solutions that make a difference every day

When we think of a dirt-trapping mat, the first place that springs to mind is in front of the front door. With Teknos, however, it’s worth having a look round.

Its high absorbency helps trap water and moisture, whilst the non-slip TPR rubber backing ensures a secure grip on the floor, and its thickness of just 3 mm keeps the mat practical and space-saving.

It is also OEKO-TEX, REACH, SGS and AZO-FREE certified: features that round off a multi-purpose absorbent mat designed to find a place, every day, in many different corners of the home.

The choice of colours also helps to make it even easier to adapt to different rooms: Teknos is available in Beige, Grey, Sage Green, Dove Grey and Blue – shades that allow you to choose a more neutral and discreet option or add a touch of colour depending on the space in which it is used.

The result is a mat that can be moved and used exactly where it’s needed.

Teknos is available in the following sizes: 25x70, 40x60, 45x75, 50x90, 50x110 and 57x150 cm. From compact sizes right through to a full-fledged absorbent mat, each size meets different needs.

25x70 cm: small space, big utility

The 25x70 cm size is narrow and compact, making it particularly suitable for areas of the home where a standard doormat would be too bulky.

You can use it in front of a step or a door where space is limited, but also as a mat under a dog or cat litter tray: any water droplets or residue stay on the mat rather than spreading across the floor.

Another use? Under the coffee machine. Between water droplets, the odd splash and coffee grounds, the worktop or floor in the coffee area can get dirty quickly. Teknos creates an absorbent and easily washable surface exactly where it’s needed.

It’s also useful in front of a small sink area, under an open shoe rack or in a utility area where damp items are left.

40x60, 45x75 and 50x90 cm: the most versatile sizes

Measuring 40x60, 45x75 and 50x90 cm, Teknos comes in the typical dimensions of a non-slip entrance mat.

Placed in front of the door, it helps to catch water and dirt from the soles of shoes before they are carried into other rooms. On rainy days, it also provides a handy surface on which to leave wet shoes and boots.

But don’t stop at the hallway. These sizes are also easy to fit in the utility room, in front of the washing machine or the sink, in the bathroom in areas most prone to splashes, or in the garage, near the door leading into the house.

50x110 and 57x150 cm: it becomes an absorbent mat

In the larger sizes, 50x110 and 57x150 cm, its range of uses expands and it becomes a proper absorbent runner, ideal for protecting larger surfaces and lining walkways.

Its elongated shape makes it particularly suitable for corridors, conservatories and French windows, where it helps to trap water, dirt and debris carried in on shoes, especially when coming in from a terrace or the garden.

In more spacious hallways, on the other hand, the greater length provides a more generous standing area and allows you to take more steps on the mat, helping to collect water and dirt before entering the rest of the house.

A particularly practical use during the rainiest months? Turn it into a dedicated shoe area: boots, walking boots and wet footwear can be left on the doormat, rather than being placed directly on the floor.

It’s often the little things that make life at home easier. Coming home on a rainy day without worrying about footprints on the floor, having somewhere to leave your wet boots, or not having to constantly wipe up the drops of water around the dog’s bowl.

Teknos was born out of precisely these everyday situations: the ones we might not think about until we find a solution that makes them easier.

Choose where you need it most. Teknos will take care of the rest.
