Choose a mat at least 80% of the door's width. A typical UK front door is 76–84 cm wide, so a 60 × 90 cm mat or larger looks proportionate. Smaller 40 × 60 cm mats suit back and side doors. If space allows, a larger mat traps more dirt before it reaches the house.

Coir scrapes mud from shoes effectively and has a classic look, but it sheds fibres and prefers a sheltered porch. Rubber-backed and all-rubber mats suit exposed doorways that face heavy rain, as they drain well and do not rot. Many homes use coir in a porch and rubber on open steps.

Yes. An outside mat scrapes off grit and mud, while an absorbent, washable inside mat catches moisture and finer dirt. Together they protect floors far better than a single mat. Inside, choose a low profile so the door opens over it without catching. Washable mats can go in the machine regularly.

Measure the gap between the bottom of the door and the floor when the door is closed, and choose a mat thinner than that gap. Inside doors often need a mat of 1 cm or less. If the door still catches, a recessed mat well or a thinner rubber-backed design solves the problem.
