Sometimes it’s the smallest details that make the most impact. Consider this when designing your office space. Chair mats provide more benefit than you may realize. Perhaps the most notable function of a chair mat is that it protects your flooring. While castor wheels roll effortlessly on any hard surface, perpetual daily use will damage the floor over time regardless of what material it’s made from. You also probably know that castor wheels don’t always move so freely on any sort of carpet. When carpeting is entered into the equation chair mats not only protect the carpet’s lifetime they also allow effortless freedom of movement as the wheels have far less friction to absorb. Friction between the castors and flooring also reduces the lifespan of the castors themselves, leading to premature wear on your investment in your task & executive office chairs. Overall, office chair mats are a practical investment that protect your floors, improve mobility, and contribute to a healthier and more comfortable work environment.
