Floor Protection Mats & Office Chair Mats for Office & Home Office – Custom Made

Floor protection mats are much more than just simple mats for office chairs. They are an essential investment to extend the lifespan of your flooring, optimize freedom of movement at the workplace, and maintain a neat appearance. Whether in a busy open-plan office, a flexible home office, or a teenager's room – where wheels meet the floor, signs of wear are inevitable. A high-quality floor protection mat effectively prevents this wear and tear.

Why Floor Protection Mats Are Essential

The constant movement of office chair wheels, furniture sliding, and small objects falling can cause significant damage to your floors over time. Stains, scratches, dents, or even permanent wear marks are the result. A floor protection mat forms a robust protective layer that withstands these stresses.

The main advantages at a glance:

• Protection against wear and damage: The mat protects against unsightly scratches, wheel marks, and abrasion caused by chair wheels.
• Preservation of floor value: Especially on high-quality parquet, laminate, carpet, or tile floors, a mat contributes to long-term value preservation.
• Improved mobility: On a smooth floor protection mat, office chairs glide more easily and quietly. This reduces the effort required for maneuvering and increases comfort.
• Easy cleaning: Liquids and dirt can often be removed more easily from the smooth surface of a floor protection mat than from the actual flooring.
• Hygiene: It protects the floor from dirt and can be easily cleaned or replaced if necessary.
• Sound insulation: Some mats can help dampen the rolling noise of chairs, contributing to a more pleasant acoustic environment.

Different Materials for Different Floorings

The choice of the right floor protection mat largely depends on your existing flooring:

1. For hard floors (parquet, laminate, tiles, vinyl, cork):

   • These mats are usually made from polycarbonate (PC) or polypropylene (PP).
   • They have a smooth underside that lies flat on the floor and is easy to clean.
   • Polycarbonate mats are extremely durable, transparent, odorless, and PVC-free. They are particularly long-lasting and do not yellow.
   • Polypropylene mats are a more cost-effective alternative, also robust and available in various designs.

2. For carpeted floors (short and long pile):

   • These mats are also made from polycarbonate (PC) or polypropylene (PP).
   • The key feature is the nubby structure on the underside. These nubs grip firmly into the carpet pile and prevent the mat from slipping.
   • The length of the nubs should be matched to the pile height of your carpet to ensure optimal grip.

Important Criteria for Selection

In addition to the material and flooring, there are other aspects to consider when choosing the right floor protection mat:

• Size and shape: Measure the area covered by your office chair when working. Standard sizes are often rectangular, but there are also mats with extensions for the desk or rounded shapes.
• Material thickness: A higher material thickness generally offers more protection and durability but may also be slightly more expensive.
• Transparency: Many mats are transparent to not obscure the design of the underlying floor.
• PVC-free and odorless: Look for environmentally friendly and health-safe materials, especially if the mat is used in enclosed spaces.
• Non-slip: A good mat should be designed on the underside to prevent slipping.
• Antistatic: Especially in IT environments, an antistatic floor protection mat can be useful.
