Chair Mats are a must!

Surprisingly, one Chair Mat does not fit all floor types, so it is important that you research the options available and ensure you purchase the Chair Mat to suit your floor covering. There are two main types of Chair Mats available - PVC and Polycarbonate. Both types provide all of the benefits that Chair Mats provide. Within each type there are Chair Mats for hard floors, low pile carpet, medium pile carpet and plush pile carpet. A simple 'pin test' can help determine the type of carpet you have. By pushing a pin into the floor covering (including), and measuring the distance the pin goes in will tell you what you need to know - up to 6mm is low pile, 6-12mm is medium pile and above 12mm is plush pile. There are differen sizes of Chair Mat - and two different shapes - rectangular and keyhole. Check out the range of options available by clicking on the link for Affordable Chair Mats

Investing in a Chair Mat will effectively prolong the lifespan of your floor or floor covering by reducing wear and tear. Chair Mats also provide protection against accidental spills and the nasty stains these can cause. Chair Mats simply wipe down and avoid costly damage to your floor covering
