Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of carpet is this mat best suited for?

This mat is designed for low pile carpets, specifically those up to 6mm thick. It may not be suitable for medium or high pile carpets.

How do I clean the Floortex Advantagemat?

Clean the mat with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this mat safe for children and pets?

Yes, the mat is formulated without phthalates, tin, lead, cadmium, and BPA, making it a safer choice for homes with children and pets.

What is the warranty on this product?

The Floortex Advantagemat comes with a 20-Year Limited Warranty.

Can this mat be used on hard floors?

No, this specific model is designed with a gripper backing for carpeted surfaces and is not intended for use on hard floors.

How long does it take for the mat to lay flat?

After unrolling, it's recommended to let the mat acclimate to room temperature for a few hours. Some users find placing heavy, flat objects on the corners helps speed up the process.

Does the mat have a chemical smell?

The mat is free from harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates, which typically contribute to strong chemical odors. It should have a minimal to no chemical smell.

Troubleshooting

Mat not laying flat

Allow the mat to warm up to room temperature for several hours. You can also try gently warming it with a hairdryer on a low setting (from a distance) or placing heavy, flat objects like books on the corners for an extended period.

Chair casters sticking or not rolling smoothly

Ensure the mat is on a compatible low-pile carpet. Clean the mat's surface and the chair casters to remove any debris. Verify that the carpet pile thickness does not exceed 6mm.

Mat slipping on carpet

Check that the correct side (gripper backing) is facing down. Ensure the carpet is not excessively plush or thick, as the gripper backing is optimized for low-pile carpets.

Mat appears cloudy or scratched

Clean the mat with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing. Prolonged UV exposure can cause yellowing; consider repositioning the mat if it's in direct, intense sunlight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection for low-pile carpets against chair wear and spills.
  • The clear design preserves the aesthetic of the underlying carpet.
  • Ergonomic surface helps reduce user fatigue during prolonged computer use.
  • Made with sustainable materials and energy-efficient manufacturing processes.
  • Safe formulation ensures no harmful chemicals are released into the environment.
  • Backed by a substantial 20-year limited warranty.

Cons

  • Best suited for low-pile carpets; may not perform optimally on thicker or high-pile carpets.
  • Can potentially slide on very smooth or very thick carpet piles despite the gripper backing.
  • Initial unrolling may require some time to lay flat.
  • Weight of 5.0 kg indicates it's a substantial mat, which could be a factor for some users.
  • Requires specific care to maintain clarity and prevent scratching over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the mat carefully and place it on your carpeted surface. For best results, allow the mat to acclimate to room temperature for a few hours to help it lay flat. Ensure the gripper backing is facing the carpet. If using the rectangular mat with a lip, position the lip under the desk edge to protect the carpet in that area.

Compatibility: This mat is specifically designed for use on low pile carpets (up to 6mm thick). It may not provide adequate stability or protection on medium to high pile carpets, shag carpets, or hard flooring surfaces.

Care: Clean the mat regularly using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the PVC and affect its clarity or protective qualities. Mild soap and water can be used for tougher spots. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. To maintain its clarity, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can cause yellowing.
