Chair mats protect your floor and carpet from wear and tear and increase your mobility

A chair mat is a wise investment for your home or office. Chair mats can and do protect your floor but often we don't see the need for them until its too late. What isn't obvious is that over the course of days, weeks and months your office chair eventually wears a path over the surface on which it runs. If it runs over carpeting eventually that carpet will begin to wear thin and leave small rut marks. Hardwood floors and tiles can also be damaged by developing permanent scuff marks on the surface that are nearly impossible to get out.

By the time you notice the marks on your floor caused by your office chair the damage has already been done and its usually too late to do much about it. The best you can hope for is to stop it from getting worse. Not only does an office chair mat protect your floor it also makes it easier for you to move your office task chair around. The casters from your office chair glide easily over the surface of the mat adding to your mobility. Floor mats such as the Rubbermaid chair mat are designed specifically to take the abuse from the constant rolling motion from the casters of your chair.  

Eventually your chair desk mat will wear out and when it does you simply throw it out and purchase a new one. You can even order a custom chair mat to fit your particular need. Buying an office chair mat is a cheaper and easier alternative than trying to repair or replace damage done to your floor by the constant friction from the casters of your chair.
