Confused about door mat for amtico

[taybert]

I need a large, absorbent door mat to go on an amtico floor but I’m confused about what is suitable. I’ve read that the wrong type of backing can mark the floor but there’s conflicting advice about what is the right type. Everyone seems to agree that turtle mats are ok but they are rubber backed and the amtico website says “non rubber backed” I’ve seen vinyl backed ones that specifically say they aren’t suitable. Anyone got any idea or experience?

I've had a multi-grip Turtle mat down on Amtico Spacia for years with no problem at all.
The Amtico tiles are light-coloured so I'd certainly have noticed any marks.

We've had amtico flooring for seven years and never had a problem with large rubber backed mats at all 4 doors to outside - we need them with 2 large muddy dogs in and out all day.

I've used both rubber and vinyl backed for years with neither marking.

Thanks everyone, that’s really useful.
