Chair Mats that don’t move: The Benefits of TrYlok® Gripper PVC Chair Mats

In modern office environments, maintaining both the aesthetic integrity of flooring and the ergonomic comfort of staff are critical considerations for facility and property managers. The constant movement of office chairs, particularly on carpeted surfaces, can lead to accelerated wear, unsightly damage, and increased strain on users. Trusted Mats addresses these challenges with its advanced range of TrYlok® Gripper PVC Chair Mats, available in both Lipped and Rectangular configurations, designed specifically for low pile carpets up to 6mm.

The Challenge of Carpet Protection and Chair Mobility

Traditional approaches to protecting carpeted office floors often fall short. Standard chair mats can suffer from ‘mat creep’, the tendency to shift and buckle under repeated chair movement, leading to frustrated users and exposed carpet areas. Furthermore, the friction of chair castors on carpet can impede movement, contributing to musculoskeletal strain and reducing overall productivity. The new TrYlok® system is engineered to directly combat these issues, offering a superior solution for contemporary workspaces.

Introducing TrYlok® Technology: Unrivalled Stability

At the heart of our PVC Chair Mat with Lip for Carpets and PVC Chair Mat Rectangular for Carpets lies the innovative TrYlok® stability system. This proprietary technology features multi-directional cleats that provide significantly enhanced grip compared to conventional spiked designs. Independent testing demonstrates up to a 20% improvement in slide resistance, ensuring the mat remains firmly anchored to the carpet. This unwavering stability is paramount for:

• Eliminating Chair Mat Movement: Staff can move freely without the need to constantly reposition the mat, optimising workflow and reducing distraction.
• Maximising Carpet Protection: A stable mat provides a consistent protective barrier, effectively shielding carpet fibres from abrasive castor wheels and preventing premature wear, indentations, and unsightly tracking marks.

Ergonomic Benefits for Enhanced Productivity

Beyond superior floor protection, the smooth surface of our TrYlok® Chair Mats facilitates effortless chair glide. This ergonomic advantage is crucial for supporting staff well-being and productivity. By reducing the effort required to move an office chair, these mats contribute to:

• Reduced Physical Strain: Less friction on the carpet translates to less strain on the user’s legs, back, and joints, mitigating fatigue associated with prolonged sitting.
• Improved Posture: Easy chair movement encourages better posture and reduces the tendency to stretch or lean awkwardly to reach items, fostering a healthier working posture.
• Enhanced Efficiency: The ability to move freely and smoothly across the workspace without impediment allows staff to maintain focus and execute tasks more efficiently.

Tailored Solutions: Lipped vs. Rectangular

Trusted Mats offers two distinct configurations to cater to specific workspace layouts:

• Chair Mat TrYlok Gripper PVC with Lip: This design features an extended lip specifically crafted to fit under desks. This provides critical protection to the carpet directly beneath the workstation, an area frequently subjected to foot traffic and chair movement, ensuring comprehensive coverage in a typical desk setup. Available in 90 x 120cm.

• Chair Mat TrYlok Gripper PVC Rectangular: For open office environments, collaborative spaces, or workstations where a desk lip is not required, the rectangular format offers versatile and extensive carpet protection. It provides a broad, stable surface for full range of motion. Available in 75 x 120cm, 90 x 120cm, and 116 x 150cm.

Both versions are presented in a Clear finish, ensuring the aesthetic integrity of the underlying carpet is maintained. They are suitable for low pile carpets up to 6mm (including underlay).
