A chair mat, also known as a floor protector or desk mat, is a durable surface placed under office chairs to protect flooring and improve mobility. Designed to reduce wear on carpets and hardwood floors, chair mats provide a smooth, stable area that allows wheelchair users and individuals with limited mobility to move easily without strain. These mats help prevent chair wheels from getting stuck and reduce the risk of falls or injuries. Chair mats come in various sizes and materials, including polycarbonate and vinyl, making them suitable for different work environments. By offering a safer and more accessible workspace, chair mats contribute to a comfortable and inclusive office experience.
Place the chair mat on a clean, flat surface where you typically use your chair. Align the mat so the chair wheels rest fully on it, covering the area of movement. Regularly clean the mat with mild soap and water to maintain grip and prevent slipping. Avoid placing mats on uneven floors to reduce tripping hazards. For best results, select a mat size that accommodates your chair’s range of motion and fits your workspace layout.
