Whatever your flooring type, Mats by JayTam, Inc. has a backing type that will best suit your needs. Mats by JayTam offers two different backing types that are each intended for different flooring types. The two backing options are cleated and smooth back.

Cleated backed mats perform best on carpeted surfaces and come standard on all WaterHog products as well as the Tri-grip Mat. The cleats help the mats stay in place better on the carpeted surfaces.

The smooth backed option is recommended on hard surfaces such as tile, marble, terrazzo, ect. We have found that the smooth backed mats slip and move less on hard surfaces.

So, next time that you order a mat please specify the backing type that best suits your needs. And remember, all of our mats carry a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
