How to Choose the Best Terrace or Balcony Mat? – A Practical Guide to Warmth and Durability

Miten valita paras terassimatto tai parvekematto? – Käytännön opas lämpöön ja kestävyyteen

Terraces and balconies are important additional rooms in Finnish homes where comfort matters. The right mat for your terrace or balcony adds comfort, improves safety, and makes the space look neat. In this guide, we explain why a domestic thermal mat is the best choice when you are looking for a weather-resistant terrace or balcony mat.

What is a thermal mat and why is it suitable for outdoor spaces?

The thermal mat is a specially made mat consisting of breathable knitted felt and a closed-cell foam insulating base. It works excellently both as a weather-resistant terrace mat solution and as a heat-insulating balcony mat. Unlike traditional outdoor mats, the thermal mat is less prone to mold and has significantly better thermal insulation.

Dry Step™ thermal mat is a domestic option designed to withstand Finnish weather conditions – whether it’s an open balcony, covered terrace, or cold storage space.

5 reasons to choose a thermal mat for your terrace or balcony
  1. Weather-resistant and warm – works year-round
  2. Easy to maintain – vacuum, brush, or wash with water
  3. Breathable structure – prevents moisture condensation
  4. Soft underfoot – comfort immediately for bare feet
  5. Custom sizing at no extra cost – perfect fit

Custom-made balcony and terrace mats – just for you

No more compromises on size or color. Dry Step™ terrace and balcony mats are cut precisely to customer measurements. The cut is made either in the width or depth direction – and if desired, we also consider about a 1% shrinkage allowance.

The thermal mat is available in two standard widths: 100 cm and 152 cm. If the space, such as a 300 cm wide terrace, exceeds the maximum width, the mat is made from two or more pieces. This is not only practical but also makes cleaning the terrace and handling the mat easier.

What kind of mat suits your terrace or balcony best?

Factors influencing the choice:
  • Usage frequency and seasons
  • Whether the space is covered or exposed to rain
  • Desired appearance and comfort level
Dry Step™ works excellently as a choice:
  • For open terraces and glazed balconies
  • For the cottage porch or summer kitchen
  • For cold indoor floors, such as entryways or basements
