Office chair mats are necessary to protect your office flooring, whether carpet or hard surface. Chair mats for carpeted areas have hundreds of cleats on the underside so the mat can grip the carpet to hold the mat in place. The chair mat also makes it easier for you to roll your chair along the carpet. Hard surface mats, for hardwood, tile, or linoleum floors, do not have cleats but are needed to protect the floor from scuffing or marring caused by the casters.
Mats come in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate your workstations. Some are square while others have a tab to allow your chair to be pushed in to the desk. While most mats are transparent plastic, you can also find laminate hardwood mats for a more formal look.
Prices for chair mats range from $40 for basic transparent mats to $200 for wood mats.
