You can make a mitred frame from the engineered wood or use a small amount of matching solid wood. The door mat itself can sit in the recess without any lining in my experience. Perhaps ours just doesn't get wet enough but it's not been a problem in nearly 20 years. We have changed the mat a few times.
I think they are a great improvement on a free floating mat.
I'm laying engineered wood in my hallway and thinking of installing a recessed door mat. I want to avoid having chunky trim or a thick metal matwell - can this be done without a trim (would I be asking for trouble with water/wear)?
