The familiar chair mat shapes on the market today were developed over 50 years ago when
pedestal desks were popular. The traditional rectangular “lip” fit the narrow opening for the
legs, offering additional protection from wheel wear in that space. Over the last half century,
as office chairs evolved from 3-wheel and 4-wheel bases to the more stable 5-wheel base
design and pedestal desks evolved into more open modern style for the office and home, the
advancement of chair mats got left behind. Until now…
Evolve™ Modern Office Chair Mats are the result of extensive research on how we move in our
workspace relative to today’s office chair and contemporary furniture designs. The wide
tapered front lip and radius back corners of the lip mat and radius corners of the rectangle mat
work in concert with the circular footprint of the 5-star wheel base to offer more efficient use
of the roll-able surface of the mat. Evolve™ patented designs bring chair mats into the 21st
Century.
Replacing or repairing floors can be expensive! Evolve™ Chair Mats protect that investment
from wear due to the wheels of office chairs rolling back and forth over time. Our proprietary
material formula features industry-leading performance and clarity, a product of our rigorous
roller wear, extreme temperature change, humidity, and stain resistance testing.
Modern design meets efficiency.
