What Types of Chair Mats are there?

types of chair matsChair mats are floor mats that are specially designed to protect carpeting or hard surface flooring from rolling chairs. When you or your workers roll around on office chairs to move from one place to another, you are unintentionally creating little scratches or wear paths that will grow with time. The best way to remove such wear and tear is to introduce chair mats to your office environment.

Chair mats also have the added advantage of decreasing strain on your employees. Rolling chairs over chair mats is easier on both the back and legs. This reduces fatigue and helps keep everyone in top working condition.

Chair Mats for Different Flooring Types

Whether you have hard surface flooring or carpeting, floor mats will be an excellent addition to your office space.

Carpet Flooring

Although carpeting reduces sound and adds cushion to any workplace, chairs do not roll smoothly over carpeting. As earlier stated, this can lead to sore legs and back. Additionally, constant chair movement over the same locations will create wear paths and may wear out and damage the carpeting.

Anchor Chair Mat for Carpeted Floors

Anchor chair mats employ a gripper backing and a textured, non-slip surface to make sure the chair mat is secure and your chair can move easily.

These mats are made of vinyl that is easy to clean and long wearing. Caring for your chair mats is simple and your floor mats will last while protecting your chair and carpeting.

Anchor chair mats come in three different thicknesses and ten different sizes.

Anti-Static Chair Mat for Carpeted Floors

Anti-Static chair mats provide protection from static buildup in addition to excellent grip and a textured, non-slip surface. These mats are essential for dry and sensitive environments that require anti-static measures for equipment used. This is especially true when it comes to computer repair or sensitive part building.

Anti-static chair mats are also very durable, long-lasting, and will protect your carpets from wear and tear.

These mats come in the following sizes: 36” x 48”, 48” x 60”, 48” x 72”, 48” x 96”, 60” x 60”, 60” x 72”, 60” x 96”, and custom sizes.

Chair Mat for Hard Surface Floors

Hard surface flooring tends to collect a lot of scratches and dents due to the hustle and bustle common to offices and places of work. Rolling chairs are also notorious for dulling hard floor surfaces with their constant movements. Hard surface chair mats are made from heavy-duty vinyl with beveled edges and flat-backing. The top of the mat allows for a low-friction rolling surface while also preventing slips.

These chair mats come in these sizes: 38” x 48”, 45” x 53”, 48” x 60”, 48” x 72”, 48” x 96”, 60” x 60”, 60” x 72”, 60” x 96” and custom sizes are also available.
