Floortex Chair Mat Materials

Floortex Glaciermat is a range of tempered glass mats which offer the ultimate in high-end interior design and floor protection.

​

Tempered glass is a reinforced type of glass with up to five times the strength of regular glass. This means each Floortex glass chair mat will never bend or sink and is resistant to any kind of cracks, scratches and marks when used appropriately.

​

Floortex glass mats are crystal clear with a high-gloss shine. Its surface allows flooring to show through, and complements any type of interior design, while still providing the best ergonomic glide surface for office chairs. 

Floortex glass chair mats are tested to take weights up to 1000lb. This makes Glaciermat an excellent choice of chair mat for heavier users and for 'big & tall' office product categories.

​

Floortex also recommends the Glaciermat glass mat collection for company directors, high-level executives and designers who want to make the best impression in their office design.

​

The nature of glass means that glass chair mats weigh more than other chair mat materials. This means that glass chair mats are able to protect all types of flooring from wear and tear without shifting or moving around during use.

Polycarbonate is an incredibly strong, clear material used in the manufacture of aircraft windscreens and bulletproof glass.  Our product development team took this concept and developed Original Floortex Polycarbonate, specifically for chair mats.

​

Floortex Polycarbonate chair mats are durable, tough and have a high-clarity clear finish, they are the perfect chair mat for busy offices, schools and home offices. 

​

A Floortex polycarbonate chair mat will not bend, curl, crack or discolor under normal use. It makes for a strong chair mat, suitable for 24/7/365 use, and is highly recommended for big and tall users.

There are Floortex polycarbonate chair mats for carpets and hard floors, and they come in a wide range of sizes and shapes.

​

Users find that a Floortex polycarbonate chair mat gives an easy-glide surface for chair casters. The Floortex polycarbonate chair mat for carpet not only stays in place thanks to the gripper-back, but it will not sink, buckle, curl or crack, even for heavier users.

​

There is a hard floor chair mat option which has a smooth, anti-slip back for stability. This will protect even wooden floors and won't mark or scratch the floor. 

​

Floortex also offers a range of printed and color chair mats made from polycarbonate.

Many of the chair mats available are made from PVC, but Floortex are proud to have developed and introduced a formula for phthalate-free PVC before any other manufacturer.

Phthalates are plasticizers which have been linked with health issues, and as such have been banned from children's toys and medical instruments. 

You can be assured that all Floortex PVC is free from phthalates and are non-toxic, which means they are safe for longer term use, and Floortex chair mats are safe for use in homes, around children and pets.

Floortex PVC mats offer excellent value for money, and they share the same designs, structure and finish as the Floortex Polycarbonate range.

​

We are able to add anti-microbial technology, anti-static properties and anti-slip backing to Floortex PVC.  These may be features you consider when choosing a chair mat.

​

Floortex PVC chair mats are all made using energy from the wind turbine and solar farm at our manufacturing plant. All of our PVC mats are fully recyclable and most contain some recycled plastic content.
