Floor mats refer to a type of mat that is placed on the floor, usually in high-traffic areas such as entryways or kitchens. They are designed to protect floors from dirt and moisture, provide traction for footwear, and add an extra layer of comfort and warmth underfoot. Floor mats can be made from a variety of materials including rubber, vinyl, coir, and even fabric or carpeting. They come in many different sizes and styles to suit various needs and decorative preferences.
