A cleated dust control mat having a rubber or rubber-like backing in which the longitudinal edges of the rubber-like backing projecting outward from the pile surface thereon is smooth and thicker than the body of the rubber or rubber-like backing material. The thicker edges are produced by using a perforated silicone pad which is narrower than the desired width and has beveled edges thereon to provide a curved transition therein between the body and the longitudinal edges of the backing material.

A method of forming a unitary dust control mat having a pile fiber upper surface and a rubber-like backing extending beyond at least two edges of the pile fiber upper surface comprising the steps of: placing a perforated silicone-like rubber material having a width less than that of the desired dust control mat on the surface of a conveyor belt, placing a strip of rubber-like material on top of the perforated silicone-like pad so that its longitudinal edges overlap the edges of the silicone-like material, placing a layer of pile fabric on top of the rubber-like material to form a form a layered structure, indexing the layered structure into a heated press molding machine, applying pressure to the layered structure in the press molding machine to vulcanize the rubber-like material and cause the rubber-like material to pass through the perforations in the silicone-like material to form cleats, causing the longitudinal edges of the rubber-like material to bend over the edges of the silicone-like material to form uncleated portions of a thickness greater than that of the body of the rubber-like material, indexing the vulcanized and adhered layered structure to a stripping station outside the press molding machine and stripping the composite structure from the conveyor belt and the silicone-like material.
