Good to Know 

Because every chair mat is manufactured to precise production tolerances, the finished dimensions may vary by approximately ±5%, as specified by the manufacturer. Measurements shown on the product page are rounded to the nearest centimetre. 

To achieve the best performance and maintain warranty coverage, always select the version designed for your flooring type and use the chair mat under normal office conditions. 

From the Mats4U Team 

Specifications can sometimes feel overwhelming, but they're there to help you compare products with confidence. 

Whether you're purchasing a single chair mat for your home office or specifying products for a larger workplace, these details provide reassurance that the Floortex® Ecotex® Marlon BioPlus Chair Mat is manufactured to a consistent, high-quality standard using premium materials designed for long-term performance. 

An office chair may seem harmless, but every movement places repeated pressure on the floor beneath it. Rolling, turning and sitting in the same position day after day can gradually wear down carpet fibres, leave permanent indentations and shorten the life of your flooring. 

A quality chair mat creates a protective barrier between your chair and the floor, helping to reduce everyday wear while providing a smoother surface for chair castors to move across. 

Whether you're working from home or managing a busy office, protecting your flooring can help maintain its appearance, reduce replacement costs and create a more comfortable workspace. 

Protect Your Carpet from Everyday Wear 

Without a chair mat, the weight of an office chair and its occupant is concentrated onto a relatively small area. 

Over time, this repeated pressure can: 

• Flatten carpet fibres.  
• Create permanent wheel marks.  
• Damage the carpet pile.  
• Increase wear in frequently used areas.  

A chair mat helps spread this load across a larger surface, reducing direct contact between chair castors and the carpet below. 

Easier Chair Movement 

Rolling across soft carpet can require more effort than many people realise. 

A rigid polycarbonate chair mat provides a stable surface that allows office chairs to glide more smoothly, making it easier to move around your workspace throughout the day. 

Many users also find that smoother chair movement helps create a more comfortable and productive working environment. 

Help Extend the Life of Your Flooring 

Replacing worn carpet is often far more expensive and disruptive than preventing the damage in the first place. 

Using a chair mat helps protect one of the highest-wear areas in any office or home workspace, reducing everyday wear and helping your flooring remain in better condition for longer. 

A Cleaner, More Professional Workspace 

A chair mat doesn't just protect your flooring—it can also improve the overall appearance of your workspace. 

The crystal-clear BioPlus polycarbonate allows the natural look of your carpet or hard floor to remain visible while providing discreet protection beneath your chair. 

This makes it an excellent choice for modern offices, reception areas and home workspaces where appearance is just as important as performance. 

Good to Know 

Not every chair mat is suitable for every floor. 

Choosing the correct version for your flooring—whether you have carpet or a hard floor—is just as important as choosing the right size. Using the appropriate mat helps ensure the best performance and protects both your flooring and the chair mat itself. 

From the Mats4U Team 

One of the most common misconceptions is that chair mats are only needed once a carpet starts showing signs of wear. 

In reality, the best time to use a chair mat is before damage occurs. Preventing flattened carpet fibres and wheel marks is much easier than trying to restore them later. 

Whether you're furnishing a new office or replacing an older chair mat, choosing the right floor protector from the start is a simple way to help preserve your flooring while making everyday chair movement noticeably easier. 

Not all chair mats are made to the same standard. 

While many chair mats are manufactured from PVC or lower-grade plastics, the Floortex® Ecotex® Marlon BioPlus Chair Mat is produced from premium BioPlus polycarbonate, delivering exceptional durability, smooth chair movement and long-term floor protection while significantly reducing its environmental impact. 

Manufactured in the UK using 100% renewable energy and incorporating 89% sustainable non-fossil-based bio-circular material, it's designed for customers who want premium performance without compromising on sustainability. 

Premium Polycarbonate Performance 

The BioPlus Chair Mat is manufactured from rigid polycarbonate, providing a strong and stable surface that's designed to withstand the demands of everyday office use. 

Compared to many traditional PVC chair mats, polycarbonate offers greater impact resistance and is less likely to crack, curl or become brittle under normal use and correct application. 

The result is a chair mat that's built for long-term performance in both home and commercial workspaces. 

A More Sustainable Choice 

Sustainability doesn't have to come at the expense of performance. 

The BioPlus Chair Mat is manufactured using 100% renewable energy from solar and wind sources and contains 89% sustainable non-fossil-based bio-circular material, helping to significantly reduce its carbon footprint compared to conventional alternatives. 

It's also fully recyclable at the end of its working life, making it an environmentally responsible choice for businesses and homeowners looking to reduce their environmental impact. 

Manufactured in the UK 

Every Floortex® Ecotex® Marlon BioPlus Chair Mat is manufactured in the UK to consistent quality standards. 

Local manufacturing helps maintain product quality while supporting reliable availability and reducing transportation compared with products shipped from further afield. 

Built for Long-Term Use 

Choosing a quality chair mat is an investment in protecting your flooring. 

The Floortex® Ecotex® Marlon BioPlus Chair Mat is backed by a 40-Year Limited Warranty, reflecting the manufacturer's confidence in its materials and construction. 

When used on the correct flooring and under normal conditions, it's designed to resist cracking, curling, discolouration and unwanted odours, providing reliable floor protection for years to come. 

Safe for Everyday Environments 

The BioPlus Chair Mat is free from PVC, phthalates, tin, lead and cadmium, making it suitable for use in homes, offices and workplaces where indoor air quality and user safety are important considerations. 

It's also odour-free, child and pet friendly, and suitable for people who may be sensitive to certain materials commonly found in lower-quality plastic chair mats. 

Good to Know 

The BioPlus Chair Mat is designed to lie flat immediately after unpacking, allowing it to be used straight away without the waiting time often associated with rolled PVC chair mats. 

Its crystal-clear finish also allows the natural appearance of your flooring to remain visible, helping it blend seamlessly into both home and professional workspaces. 

From the Mats4U Team 

We believe the best products are those that solve a problem while offering genuine long-term value. 

What we like about the Floortex® Ecotex® Marlon BioPlus Chair Mat is that it doesn't ask you to choose between performance and sustainability. You get the durability expected from a premium polycarbonate chair mat, together with environmentally responsible manufacturing and a product that's designed to protect your flooring for many years. 

Whether you're outfitting a single home office or multiple commercial workstations, it's a chair mat that's built with both people and the planet in mind. 

Choosing a more sustainable product shouldn't mean accepting lower quality or reduced performance. 

The Floortex® Ecotex® Marlon BioPlus Chair Mat has been developed to deliver the durability expected from a premium polycarbonate chair mat while significantly reducing its environmental impact through innovative materials and manufacturing. 

It's proof that environmentally responsible products can still offer the strength, clarity and long-term performance needed in busy offices and home workspaces. 

Manufactured Using 100% Renewable Energy 

Every BioPlus Chair Mat is manufactured in the UK using electricity generated entirely from renewable sources, including solar and wind power. 

By replacing traditional energy sources with renewable alternatives, the manufacturing process helps reduce carbon emissions while maintaining the same high standards of quality and consistency. 

Bio-Circular Materials 

Rather than relying solely on fossil-based raw materials, the BioPlus Chair Mat is manufactured using 89% sustainable non-fossil-based bio-circular material. 

These renewable resources help reduce dependence on virgin fossil fuels while delivering the same premium durability and performance expected from a high-quality polycarbonate chair mat. 

Independently Certified 

Environmental claims should always be backed by evidence. 

The BioPlus Chair Mat is ISCC certified, demonstrating that the sustainable materials used within the manufacturing process meet recognised international standards for traceability and responsible sourcing. 

This provides confidence that the product's environmental credentials are independently verified rather than simply being marketing claims. 

Designed for a Longer Life 

One of the most sustainable choices you can make is to buy products that are built to last. 

Because the BioPlus Chair Mat is manufactured from durable polycarbonate and backed by a 40-Year Limited Warranty, it is designed to provide many years of reliable floor protection when used correctly. 

A product that lasts longer often needs replacing less frequently, helping to reduce waste over its lifetime. 

Fully Recyclable 

When the chair mat eventually reaches the end of its service life, the polycarbonate material is 100% recyclable. 

Combined with renewable manufacturing and sustainable raw materials, this helps reduce the overall environmental impact throughout the product's lifecycle. 

Good to Know 

Choosing a sustainable chair mat doesn't mean compromising on performance. 

The Floortex® Ecotex® Marlon BioPlus Chair Mat delivers the same smooth chair movement, floor protection and long-term durability expected from a premium polycarbonate chair mat while placing greater emphasis on responsible manufacturing and material sourcing. 

From the Mats4U Team 

We've seen a growing number of customers looking for products that support their environmental goals, but they're rightly unwilling to compromise on quality. 

That's one of the reasons we like the BioPlus range. It demonstrates that sustainability doesn't have to come at the expense of durability or everyday performance. 

If you're looking for a chair mat that protects both your flooring and has a reduced environmental impact, the BioPlus Chair Mat offers an excellent balance between the two. 

Moving around your workspace should feel effortless. 

Whether you're reaching for a filing cabinet, turning to speak with a colleague or simply adjusting your position throughout the day, a quality chair mat provides a stable surface that allows your office chair to move more freely than it would on unprotected carpet. 

The Floortex® Ecotex® Marlon BioPlus Chair Mat combines a rigid polycarbonate construction with a smooth surface to help office chairs glide naturally, creating a more comfortable and efficient working environment. 

A Stable Surface for Everyday Use 

Unlike softer chair mats that can flex under pressure, the BioPlus Chair Mat provides a firm, stable surface that's designed to support the repeated movement of office chair castors during normal use. 

The rigid construction helps maintain smooth chair movement while protecting the flooring beneath from concentrated wear. 

Reduced Rolling Resistance 

Office chairs can require noticeably more effort to move across carpet, particularly during long periods of desk work. 

By providing a smooth rolling surface, the BioPlus Chair Mat allows chair castors to move more freely, making it easier to reposition yourself throughout the day. 

Many users find this creates a more comfortable and enjoyable working environment, especially during extended periods at their desk. 

Designed to Stay Clear and Flat 

The BioPlus Chair Mat is designed to lie flat straight after unpacking, allowing it to be used immediately without waiting for the material to settle. 

Its premium polycarbonate construction also helps resist cracking, curling, discolouration and odours under normal use and correct application, while the crystal-clear finish allows the natural appearance of your flooring to remain visible. 

Suitable for Modern Workspaces 

Whether you're creating a dedicated home office or furnishing a busy commercial workplace, the BioPlus Chair Mat is designed to blend into the environment rather than dominate it. 

Its transparent finish complements a wide variety of carpet and hard floor colours, helping to protect your flooring without distracting from the appearance of your workspace. 

Good to Know 

For the best performance, always choose the version designed for your flooring. 

The carpet model features a gripper back to help keep the mat securely positioned on suitable low pile carpets, while the hard floor version has a smooth backing designed specifically for solid floor surfaces. 

Selecting the correct version helps ensure smooth chair movement and long-lasting performance. 

From the Mats4U Team 

One of the first things customers often notice after installing a quality chair mat is how much easier their chair is to move. 

It might seem like a small improvement, but when you spend hours at your desk every day, smoother chair movement can make your workspace feel noticeably more comfortable and efficient. 

Combined with reliable floor protection, it's one of those products that quietly improves your working environment without demanding any attention. 

Choosing the right chair mat is about more than selecting a size. 

To achieve the best performance and protect your flooring, it's important to choose a chair mat that's designed for the type of floor you have. Using the correct mat helps your chair move smoothly, protects your flooring more effectively and allows the chair mat to perform as intended. 

The Floortex® Ecotex® Marlon BioPlus Chair Mat is available in versions for both hard floors and low pile carpets, making it easy to choose the right solution for your workspace. 

Chair Mats for Carpeted Floors 

If your workspace has carpet, it's important to choose a chair mat designed specifically for carpet use. 

The carpet version of the BioPlus Chair Mat features a gripper back that helps the mat remain securely positioned during normal everyday use while protecting the carpet beneath. 

This version is suitable for low pile carpets up to approximately 12mm thick. 

Before ordering, we recommend measuring your carpet to ensure you select the most suitable chair mat for your flooring. 

Chair Mats for Hard Floors 

Hard floors require a different type of chair mat. 

The hard floor version features a smooth backing designed to sit directly on solid flooring without damaging the surface. 

It is suitable for many common floor types, including: 

• Hardwood flooring  
• Laminate flooring  
• Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)  
• Vinyl flooring  
• Stone flooring  
• Ceramic or porcelain tiles  
• Polished concrete  

Using a hard floor chair mat on carpet—or a carpet chair mat on hard flooring—can reduce performance and may damage either the floor or the mat. Selecting the correct version helps ensure the best results. 

Choosing the Right Size 

The ideal chair mat should provide enough space for your normal working movements without your chair wheels constantly rolling on and off the edge of the mat. 

If you're replacing an existing chair mat, measuring its length and width is often the easiest way to choose a suitable replacement. 

If you're setting up a new workspace, think about how far you normally move your chair while working. Choosing a size that comfortably covers your everyday movement helps protect a larger area of flooring and creates a smoother working experience. 

Not Sure Which One You Need? 

If you're unsure which version is right for your workspace, we're here to help. 

Our team can advise on the most suitable chair mat based on your flooring, carpet type and working environment, helping you choose the right product before you place your order. 

Good to Know 

Installing the correct chair mat is just as important as choosing one made from quality materials. 

Matching the chair mat to your flooring helps maximise floor protection, improves chair movement and supports the long-term performance of the mat. 

From the Mats4U Team 

The most common mistake we see isn't buying the wrong size—it's buying the wrong type of chair mat. 

A chair mat designed for carpet performs very differently from one designed for hard floors, so taking a few moments to identify your flooring before ordering can make all the difference. 

If you're ever unsure, we'd much rather help you choose the right version before you buy than have you end up with a mat that isn't suited to your workspace.

The Floortex® Ecotex® Marlon BioPlus Chair Mat is designed for any workspace where office chairs are used regularly and protecting the floor is important. 

From home offices to large commercial workplaces, it provides a durable, transparent barrier that helps reduce wear on carpets and hard floors while creating a smoother surface for office chair movement. 

Its premium construction and discreet appearance make it suitable for a wide variety of professional and residential environments. 

Home Offices 

With more people working from home than ever before, protecting flooring has become an important consideration. 

Whether your workspace is in a dedicated office or a spare room, the BioPlus Chair Mat helps reduce wear caused by everyday chair movement while allowing your chair to glide more smoothly throughout the day. 

Its crystal-clear finish also blends naturally with your existing décor, allowing your flooring to remain visible. 

Corporate Offices 

Busy office environments often see thousands of chair movements every day. 

The BioPlus Chair Mat helps protect carpeted and hard floor workstations from premature wear while creating a comfortable and professional workspace for employees. 

Its durable polycarbonate construction makes it well suited to everyday commercial use. 

Reception Areas 

Reception desks are often one of the busiest workstations within any organisation. 

A chair mat helps protect the flooring beneath reception staff while maintaining the professional appearance of one of the first areas visitors see when entering your business. 

Schools, Colleges and Universities 

Educational environments place constant demands on office furniture and flooring. 

The BioPlus Chair Mat is well suited to administrative offices, reception areas, libraries and staff workspaces, helping to protect floors while supporting comfortable chair movement throughout the working day. 

Healthcare and Public Sector Buildings 

Hospitals, medical practices, local authority offices and other public buildings often require practical, low-maintenance office equipment. 

The BioPlus Chair Mat provides reliable floor protection while remaining easy to clean, making it a practical choice for busy administrative workspaces. 

Studios and Creative Workspaces 

Design studios, architects' offices and creative agencies often favour clean, modern workspaces where appearance matters. 

The transparent polycarbonate construction protects the floor without distracting from the overall design of the room, making it an ideal choice for contemporary office environments. 

Good to Know 

The BioPlus Chair Mat isn't limited to commercial offices. 

It's equally suitable for anyone who spends long periods working at a desk, whether that's in a home office, study, shared workspace or professional business environment. 

From the Mats4U Team 

One of the things we like most about this chair mat is its versatility. 

Although it's built to commercial standards, it's just as well suited to a home office as it is to a large corporate workplace. The same premium materials, smooth chair movement and long-lasting floor protection benefit anyone who spends their day working at a desk. 

That's why it's become a popular choice for businesses and home workers alike. 

The Floortex® Ecotex® Marlon BioPlus Chair Mat is designed to be low maintenance, making it easy to keep your workspace looking clean and professional. 

Regular cleaning helps remove dust, dirt and debris that can accumulate through everyday use, while occasional deeper cleaning will help maintain the mat's crystal-clear appearance for years to come. 

Fortunately, keeping your chair mat in excellent condition only takes a few simple steps. 

Regular Cleaning 

For most home and office environments, a quick wipe with a soft cloth is all that's needed. 

We recommend: 

• Wiping the surface regularly with a damp microfibre cloth.  
• Removing dust and loose debris before cleaning.  
• Cleaning up spills as soon as possible.  
• Drying the surface with a clean cloth after washing.  

Regular cleaning helps maintain the transparency of the polycarbonate surface while preventing dirt from building up over time. 

Deeper Cleaning 

For heavier dirt or marks: 

• Use warm water with a mild soap or non-abrasive detergent.  
• Clean using a soft cloth or sponge.  
• Rinse with clean water if required.  
• Allow the mat to air dry completely before placing it back into service.  

For stubborn marks, a small amount of rubbing alcohol or a suitable non-abrasive cleaner may be used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. 

Avoid Harsh Chemicals 

To help preserve the appearance of your chair mat, avoid using: 

• Abrasive cleaning pads.  
• Scouring powders.  
• Solvent-based cleaners.  
• Strong chemical degreasers.  
• Sharp tools that may scratch the surface.  

Using gentle cleaning products will help keep the mat clear and maintain its professional appearance. 

Everyday Care Tips 

A few simple habits can help maximise the life of your chair mat: 

• Keep chair castors clean and free from trapped debris.  
• Remove grit or small stones that may become trapped beneath the mat.  
• Periodically lift the mat and clean underneath it.  
• Use the correct chair mat for your flooring type.  
• Avoid dragging heavy furniture across the surface.  

These simple steps help keep both the chair mat and the flooring beneath it in excellent condition. 

Good to Know 

The Floortex® Ecotex® Marlon BioPlus Chair Mat is manufactured from premium polycarbonate, which is naturally resistant to cracking, curling, discolouration and odours under normal use and correct application. 

Routine cleaning is generally all that's required to keep it performing and looking its best. 

From the Mats4U Team 

One of the advantages of polycarbonate chair mats is just how little maintenance they require. 

Unlike some lower-quality mats that can become difficult to clean or lose their appearance over time, the BioPlus Chair Mat only needs occasional cleaning with mild soap and water to keep it looking smart. 

With a little routine care, it will continue protecting your flooring while maintaining the clean, professional appearance of your workspace for many years.

If you're unsure, our team will be happy to help you choose the right option. 

Will the chair mat move during use? 

When the correct version is selected for your flooring and installed on a clean, level surface, the chair mat is designed to remain securely in position during normal everyday use.
