Durite Recycled Tire-Link Mat — 24x36 in, Black, Herringbone Weave | Durable Corporation

Patented in 1923, the Durite Recycled Tire-Link Mat from Durable Corporation stands up to high-traffic entrances with a rugged, purpose-built design. The herringbone weave combines a durable outer surface with an open mesh core, creating a practical solution for busy doorways, loading docks, and walkways where people stand and move throughout the day. The mat’s construction uses recycled tire links woven onto galvanized wires, delivering a resilient foundation that remains pliable under foot and ready for heavy use. Every 12 square feet equates to one recycled tire, underscoring a strong sustainability story without sacrificing performance.

Key benefits at a glance

• Multi-purpose use: outdoor entrance protection or anti-fatigue support for wet or dry areas.
• Open weave design: helps keep debris and moisture off the surface while promoting drainage.
• Durable construction: virtually indestructible in many environments, built to withstand long-term wear.
• Rolls up for easy cleaning and storage, simplifying maintenance in tight spaces.
• Dimensions and weight: 24" Width x 36" Length x 5/8" Thickness; about 15.4 pounds.
• High recycled content: approximately 90% recycled materials, with each 12 square feet representing one recycled tire.

Real-world usage and experience

In busy entryways and along aisles, the mat acts as a first line of defense against tracked-in dirt while offering a comfortable footing for staff and visitors who stand briefly or walk through often. The open mesh lets water drain away, which helps minimize pooling on the surface after rain or snow. If the space requires occasional deep cleaning, the Durite mat’s design allows it to be rolled up quickly for thorough washing or hose-downs, then laid back into position with minimal disruption.

Practical considerations and care

• Size notes: all lengths are approximate due to the woven construction and can be adjusted for specific site needs.
• Placement ideas: suitable for in-plant workstations, along assembly lines, in front of machines, or in aisles and passages.
• Maintenance: roll up, rinse or brush as needed, and store rolled to preserve the weave and edge integrity.

Designed for spaces that see both indoor and outdoor exposure, this mat balances rugged durability with a foot-friendly surface. While it is not a medical product, the combination of traction, drainage, and hiking-like durability makes it a practical option for entrances, loading zones, and busy work areas where people step in from varied conditions.
