# How to Choose a Hard Floor Chair Mat
Hard floors such as tile, wood or linoleum can become scuffed and scratched from chair castors. Installing chair mats in the office will protect the flooring and extend its life. You can choose from many shapes and styles of hard floor chair mats to ensure working conditions are optimal.

1
Measure the work area that you will need your hard floor chair mat to cover. Make sure to give some extra room so you will not roll off of the chair mat. Look for a size that best fits your work space.
-
2
Avoid chair mats that have the bumps or spikes on the bottom because castors can damage them. The underside should be smooth on a hard floor chair mat.
-
3
Look for a hard floor chair mat with a nonskid back. You are going to want a chair mat that is durable, and will not slide around on a hard surface.

Consider breaking away from the norm with a circular or triangular hard floor chair mat. These styles can also be more functional in tighter spaces than the traditional T-shaped chair mat.
