Base Mats are made of a very sturdy polypropylene fiber, infused onto a vinyl back panel. Sections of the fiber are removed during the manufacturing process to create a holding space for Inserts. This area matches the exact dimensions of an Insert, essentially turning the Base Mat into a frame for the advertisement or message.

Adding, removing or changing inserts is extremely simple and can be done in seconds. When the insert is set into place, it sits level with the surface of the Base Mat foundation. The pair adheres tightly with special adhesive, allowing no possibility of lifting until change-outs are desired. Custom cutting templates ensure precise, exact dimensions to allow complete interchangeability between every Base Mats and Inserts we make. This product line is recommended in areas with heavy foot traffic and/or excessive water exposure, as the vinyl base resists slipping while protecting the longevity of the Inserts.

Hybrid Mats combine nearly all of the benefits of Base Mats and Inserts into a single product. The entire surface area of a Hybrid model is utilized and printed with full bleed dye-sublimation graphics.

Hybrid Mats resemble an enhanced version of our Inserts, manufactured with a similar heavy-duty needle punched felt, laid onto a vinyl backing. A specialized treatment process creates the same bottom surface hold, absorption and liquid retention abilities as the Base Mats Inserts. The ability to interchange graphics is not available in this product. The Hybrid Mats are generally intended to serve as an advertising and water absorption line rather than a product to be used in high traffic areas.
