37 Years of Imagination at Your Feet.

Founded in 1986 in Algona, Iowa, Matting By Design has been setting the standard for commercial floor matting for nearly four decades. Through a combination of proprietary processes, innovative technology, and high-quality materials, we create custom matting solutions in virtually any size, shape, or design.

The result is more than just a mat—it’s a product that delivers exceptional performance, lasting durability, and a level of quality you can see and feel.

Backed by the Best

What truly sets Matting By Design apart is what’s underneath.

Our proprietary blown PVC backing is engineered to be non-slip, breathable, open-weave, and anti-microbial—delivering performance you won’t find anywhere else in the industry. This advanced construction allows moisture to escape, preventing mold and mildew while maintaining a strong, reliable grip on the floor.

Unlike traditional systems, our mats stay securely in place without the need for adhesives, screws, or framing. And with our unique manufacturing process, we’re able to produce an unlimited range of sizes and shapes—giving you complete flexibility without compromising performance.

Because when the foundation is built right, everything above it works better.

Built for Real-World Performance

Matting By Design products are engineered to perform in the environments where they matter most. From high-traffic entrances to moisture-prone areas, our matting systems are designed to capture dirt, control moisture, and reduce wear on surrounding flooring.

Every detail—from fiber construction to backing technology—is built to withstand daily use while maintaining appearance and effectiveness over time. The result is a solution that not only looks professional but actively contributes to cleaner, safer, and more efficient spaces.

Because performance isn’t just a feature — it’s the foundation of everything we make.
