Chair Mat PVC with Lip

If you are seeking a budget-friendly solution for light office use, our PVC Chair Mat with Lip offers practical floor protection. Featuring an extended lip shape designed to fit under your desk, it safeguards the high-wear footwell zone where your feet rest and chair wheels roll forward.

For premium performance across a wider variety of sizes and heavier usage demands, explore our Polycarbonate Chair Mat range.

Designed to prevent carpet wear and hard floor scratching, this mat features a lightly textured, low-glare finish that allows your natural flooring to show through while reducing visible scuffs and easing chair mobility.

NB: Our PVC chair mat for low-pile carpets is available in two sizes (90 x 120cm & 115 x 134cm), whereas the hard floor backing option is available in 90 x 120cm.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Budget-Friendly Protection: Ideal entry-level protection for light domestic or home-office use.
• Extended Lip Design: Shapes neatly under desks for added floor protection in high-friction footwell areas.
• Ergonomic Motion: Smooth surface enables easy rolling for caster chairs to reduce lower back and leg strain.
• Dual Backing Options: Available with Smooth Back for hard floors or Claw Back for low-pile carpets up to 6mm deep (including underlay).
• Discreet Appearance: Lightly textured, low-glare finish allows natural flooring aesthetics to show through.

Important Usage Notice:

Designed for use with office chairs and standard seating. Do not place stationary desk legs or secondary heavy furniture (such as bookcases or filing cabinets) on the mat alongside your chair. Shared weight distribution creates uneven pressure points across the material, which can cause premature cracking and void the warranty.

Ideal applications:

• Industrial, commercial, or domestic offices
• Hard floors (smooth back): Vinyl, Laminate, Hardwood, Wood, Stone, Tiles, Concrete
• Carpets (claw back): Low profile up to 6mm depth including underlay

How to Choose the Right Chair Mat:

Measure:

• Total floor space
• Workstation width
• Size of chair base
• ‘Roll area’ – how far you’ll move on your chair
• Carpet depth including underlay

How to measure your carpet and underlay depth:

1. Straighten a paperclip as shown below.
2. Insert the paperclip through the carpet and underlay until it touches the subfloor.
3. Measure the depth from the point where the paperclip touches the subfloor to the top of the carpet pile.
4. Choose a chair mat option suitable for your total measured depth (e.g., select “Up to 9mm” if your total depth is 9mm or less).
