Single-direction ribbed mats scrape debris from footwear. Gaps between the ribs allow dirt and debris to fall away from the mat's surface and can contain some moisture.

Diamond-pattern mats have long, narrow raised areas set at a diagonal to scrape moisture and dirt and a recessed area between the squares to keep moisture and dirt contained.

Waffle-pattern mats have small raised squares that scrape moisture and dirt from shoes. The recessed area between the squares keep moisture and dirt contained.

Chevron-pattern mats have raised ribs set at an angle to scrape dirt from any direction. The gaps between the ribs trap dirt and moisture. The chevron pattern has a more professional appearance than cut pile mats.

Parquet-pattern mats have sets of raised bars that alternate direction to provide effective scraping from all directions. Recesses between the bars allow dirt and moisture to fall away from the surface.

Spaghetti-loop mats have a random weave pattern that removes dirt when rubbed from any direction. The loops form gaps that hide and trap moisture, dirt, and debris to keep the mat looking clean and prevent contaminants from being tracked into the building.

Multizone scraper-dryer mats have three separate areas combined in a single mat. The first zone has a scraper mat to remove dirt and debris from shoes. The second zone has a mat that combines both scraping and drying functionality to continue to clean shoes and begin the drying process. The loop-pile surface on the third zone finishes the drying process. Multizone mats are used where significant amounts of dirt are tracked into a building.
