Some things to think about before you buy office floor mats

When you are buying mats for your office, they are used for different purposes. It’s important to choose the right mat for the right purpose.

Floor mats can be used for protecting people, protecting floor, and in some special cases for protecting special work environments.

Mats that protect people

The first category is the least commonly encountered, but actually very important for anyone who has to spend quite a lot of time working in a standing position. This type of mat is called an anti-fatigue mat, and it does just what the name describes. It’s not just a matter of providing a more comfortable standing surface, but also actually altering the physiology involved in the work.

The cushioning and force absorption helps stimulate circulation in the feet and helps prevent fatigue-related damage to the feet, legs, and lower back.

A second function of this type of floor mat is to help prevent slipping, as the extra traction provided by the mat surface makes the work area safer.

Mats that protect floors

Keeping the floor of your office in good condition can also be important. It’s definitely important if you’re leasing your office because you probably don’t want to have to spring for a whole new floor when you move out.

In addition to protecting the floor, these thin plastic mats also provide more convenience on carpeted floors and help to reduce the chance of static discharge which could harm sensitive electronic items like computers.

On bare floorboards, the need for protective mats is obvious, as over time the wheels of an office chair will create marks, scratches and divots galore if a protective mat is not used.

For carpeted surfaces, there is a different kind of problem to overcome. Here the carpet itself can act as an anchor, and it also has some risk of bunching and snagging, which can lead to all kinds of secondary problems. Additionally, you could find fluff and fuzz from the carpet can interfere in the mechanisms of the chair.

Using a plastic mat in the area where the chair will be used allows the chair to glide effortlessly over the surface, and eliminates all of the secondary problems, as well as helping to prevent avoid static.
