Create a Smoother Office Experience with Desk Chair Mats
Chair mats might not be the first thing that comes to mind when setting up your workspace. But they can make a big difference in how comfortable and practical your desk area feels. At A2B Office, we believe that small adjustments can have a big impact and desk chair mats are one of the easiest ways to improve movement and protect your flooring.
If you’ve been dragging your chair across the floor or wearing down your carpet without meaning to, it’s time to think about your mat options. Whether you work from home or in a busy office, we’ve got the perfect solution for your chair mat needs.
Why Desk Chair Mats Matter
When your chair won’t roll smoothly or your carpet is starting to look worn out, that’s a clear sign your workspace needs a desk chair mat. These mats help your office chair glide effortlessly, cutting down on noise, floor damage and even leg strain. Using a chair mat means you’re not using extra energy just to move around; your chair will do the work for you.
If your space has hard flooring, you can quickly end up with marks, scuffs or gouges from your castors. If you’ve got carpet, mats help stop friction damage from daily rolling and keep fibres from breaking down. Whether you’re on hardwood, laminate, vinyl or thick carpet, there’s a mat style made to fit your exact needs.
The Best Mats for Hard Floors
Hard floors call for smooth, flat mats that offer grip without sticking. If your workspace features wood, tile or laminate flooring, you need a surface made to handle rolling without slipping.
We recommend the Floortex Chairmat Valuemat Phalate Free PVC for Hard Floors (120 x 75cm) for smaller setups. It’s light yet sturdy, and it lays flat without curling, a must-have for safety and style. If you need more space, check out the Floortex Chairmat Valuemat Phalate Free PVC (120 x 90cm) or Floortex Chairmat Valuemat PVC (120 x 150cm). These options protect larger floor areas without becoming a trip hazard.
Looking for a more rugged, durable choice? The Floortex Cleartex Ultimat, made of original polycarbonate, and Floortex Cleartex Ultimat 119 x 89cm are strong enough to last for years and perfectly suited for everyday use.
Choosing the Right Carpet Chair Mat
Carpet can be tricky. Not all piles are the same, and the wrong mat can slide, buckle, or break. That’s why it helps to match the right mat with your carpet depth.
If your carpet pile is up to 6mm, the Floortex Cleartex AdvantageMat for low pile carpets (120 x 75cm) offers a great grip and smooth movement. For mid-pile styles up to 9mm, go with the Floortex Cleartex Antimicrobial vinyl chair mat (115 x 134cm), which resists bacteria and keeps your office space hygienic.
When you’ve got standard carpet pile up to 12mm, polycarbonate is king. Strong and clear, the Floortex Cleartex Ultimat Polycarbonate Mat with a lip (119 x 89cm) fits perfectly under desks. For tighter rooms, go for the 119 x 75cm with a lip.
We also stock a Floortex version without a lip (119 x 89cm), ideal for rolling in all directions smoothly without a desk in the way.
Mats for Polished or Slippery Floors
Got a high-gloss, smooth office floor? These require an even more specialised mat. The Floortex Cleartex Anti-Slip Unomat Polycarbonate Mat (119 x 89cm) is designed not to move while you work, giving a secure rolling space and peace of mind.
This mat is made from tough polycarbonate and has anti-slip technology designed especially for smooth floors like polished concrete or ceramic tiles, perfect for shared working spaces or chic home offices.
Affordable Choices Without Sacrificing Quality
If you’re just setting up a home workspace or kitting out multiple desks, budget-friendly mats like the Q-Connect PVC Chair Mat (1143 x 1346mm) are a simple, clear solution. It lies flat and protects against chair drag, coffee spills or daily wear while still offering good grip and glide.
No matter the price point, all our mats at A2B Office are chosen with care. There’s no need to spend a fortune to get movement-friendly, damage-free flooring.
Easy to Clean and Keep Looking Great
Chair mats don’t just help your chair. They also make cleaning easier than ever. Spilt your tea? Just wipe it up. Dust and dirt wipe away in seconds, especially compared to carpet fibres that hold debris. Our clear mats keep their shape, resist curling, and stay fresh-looking with barely any effort thanks to their smooth, transparent surface.
You can also rest easy knowing many of our mats are child- and pet-safe. The Floortex ranges include options that are free from phthalates and toxins, which means better air quality and cleaner offices, too.
Setup is Quick and Fits Any Office Layout
Installing your desk chair mat is as simple as unrolling it, placing it down and letting it flatten out. Most flats in just a few hours. For curved or lipped mats, be sure to line the lip up under your desk area so you’re fully covered while you type or type away.
We stock standard sizes for all office types, and if you’ve got corner desks or tight spaces, we can help you find the right fit. Choosing the right desk mat depends on your floor type, chair style, room size and how much movement you usually do while working.
