All About Chair Mats

Prevent Wear and tear

Extend the life of your carpet, wood or tile floor with a chair mat.  The rolling casters of a chair can easily tear and pull at carpet or create marks in hard floors - but a chair mat acts as a line of defense against any damage.  They also help your chair roll more smoothly to prevent any unnecessary strain.
