Everything else is energy and resource consumptive which is by definition anti-green. Plastic floor mats, office or vehicle, without the grippies make good replacements for the flaps on pet doors... or if, like me, your dog is bigger than most manufactured doors and you have to make your own. My sister's neighbor uses one with the grippies in the door she made for her pygmy goats -- they get a free grooming everytime they go in or out of the barn I think cats would love a squre with grippies attached to a corner so they can rub/scratch their cheeks.
All those things can get expensive to buy, but could easily and cheaply be made from a repurposed plastic floor mat. 130 posts, read 39,654 times Please register to post and access all features of our very popular forum.

They protect the floors under your work chair and they also allow you to freely move about in your chair. I had to recently buy a few of these chairmats for my home office. My work desk is currently located in a room with hardwood floors so I wanted to protect the wood flooring from getting scratched up and possible dented from my office chair. Also, I have another computer in a room in which there is carpet so I had to find a chair mat for carpets too. I found that they range in price from $40 to $100 and are readily sold in stores like Walmart, Target, Office Depot, and Staples.
If you needed to buy more in bulk for an office or small business, other stores like Costco or Amazon might be better. Choosing the best chair mats - When looking to buy chairmats, consider things like surface, size of workspace, and shape. Do you need an hard wood floor chair mat or a carpet chair mat? Perhaps you have a tile floor or even vinyl. The hardwood floor chairmats rest evenly on the floor and permit easy rolling around if you have a chair with wheels. Perhaps you have a plush carpet or standard pile in which case you could use a chair mat with cleats so that the mat stays put even when you are moving around in the chair. Chair mats for thick carpet will be slightly different than those designed for low pile or even medium pile carpets. The office chair mat I bought for the carpeted room does leave some indentions in the carpet (I notice them when I pick it up to vacuum underneath) but after a while they do go away. Most wood floor chair mats will also do just fine on floors with tile, vinyl, or linoleum.
Shape - When it comes to shapes of chair floor mats, there are basically 3 types - lip, L-workstation, and rectangular or utility. The average desk setup can use the lip chair mats or even the rectangular option. Corner computer desks and L-workstations work best when you have the L-shaped workstation chair mat. Size - This is entirely dependent on how much space you need when mulling about your work area or desk. Some people "roll" all over while others stay in a smaller area. I like to roll around, often going back and forth from my computer to a bookshelf behind my desk. Chair mats come in a variety of sizes, so pick one that has the most space possible without intruding on the rest of the room or area surrouding the desk.

You can browse the best selling chair mats here. Chair Mat for Hardwood Floors: The one name that consistently showed up in reviews was Lorell. Their mats for hardwood floors were top rated by both experts and consumers. The LLR69167 - Chairmat, Hard Floor, Wide 45x53, Lip 25x12, Clear - is the one I went with and I couldn't be happier with the results. The floor mat features vinyl construction and a straight edge. It has certainly protected my hardwood floors from scuffs and caster damage. At $50, it was about what the other brands wanted and I feel like it was a good investment. Other owners make comments like "bets wood floor computer chairmat" and "durable quality floor protector". If you have hard floors, tile or vinyl, this mat from Lorell should do. Lorell offers a similar rectangular lip floor chair mat for about $45 and it too is clear in color. One last note, we bought our online at Amazon, but an identical product is also available at Office Depot and Staples. The only complaint I have with the chair mat is that it does move around a bit on the hardwoods and I periodically have to adjust it back to the original position.
