Office Chair Mats


Office Chair Mats NZ: What to Know Before Buying One


Wheeled office chairs are quite common in workplaces due to the fact that they increase efficiency and comfort. They also enable freer movement within a work area as well as make it a lot more comfortable to sit for long periods of time. With that said, there are also disadvantages of using office chairs, however, these can be tapered with the use of a good chair mat.


Office Chair Mat for Carpet

Chair mats are made from lots of varying materials and you can get them in different thicknesses, sizes as well as shapes. They are meat to offer protection to the work area so that movement within the office is more efficient and healthier for everyone present. Unfortunately, if the floor is carpeted, this lowers how effective wheel chairs can be. This is because the chair has to constantly move on the carpet which would provide a lot of resistance. So, when you have to constantly deal with this resistance, it can lead to health problems such as knee, back and leg pain. Chair mats are great for carpeted floors since they offer a smooth area for the wheels of the chair to move on which will drastically reduce resistance. It will basically remove about 80% of the effort that you'd spend moving on a carpeted floor when using a chair mat and this would lower the negative impact on the body.

Additionally, floors can be easily damaged by rolling chairs. When you look at the combined weight of the person on the chair and the chair itself, you will notice most of this weight is focused on 4 or 5 points (the wheels). These are pressure points that are always moving which will result in a lot of wear and tear on the floors. For example, the floors or carpeting can develop gouges, tears, furrows etc.

The great thing about chair mats is that they are made from a lot of different types of materials and you can get these mats in lots of shapes, sizes as well as thicknesses. These mats are made to provide protection to the floor and work environments since they make moving around that environment a lot easier and healthier. Some of the main materials that are typically used for these chair mats include rubber, polycarbonate and PVC.

Both PVC and polycarbonate are known as thermoplastics. However, do note that polycarbonate is sturdier and more solid than PVC. Due to the stiffness of polycarbonate, it is well suited for carpeted floors. Capital Commercial Furniture has polycarbonate chair mats that are long lasting and are great to use on carpet of any thickness. These mats are designed with spikes under them so that they don't move on the carpet. These mats are very simple to clean as all you'll need is a damp cloth. You can also use these mats if you have underfloor heating.

PVC mats can also be used on hard floors as well as carpeted floors. You can also get PVC chair mats from Capital Commercial Furniture as well. They have types that have spikes and those without spikes as well as mats that are keyhole and rectangular in shape. It is also easy to clean PVC mats and they can also be used if you have underfloor heating.

If you want a thicker mat then you should look at rubber mats. These don't need spikes in order to be secured to hard floors or carpeted floors. Rubber mats are a great alternative to the typical polycarbonate or PVC mats and you can get our 5mm keyhole mat that also has a bevelled edge that is non-trip for the most security.

There are lots of flooring manufacturers who specify that their flooring warranties are void if chair mats are not used. So, as you can see, utilising chair mats is not only a healthy and safe option but also an intelligent one.
