Questions and Answers for Dimex Evolve Modern Shape 33 in. x 44 in. Clear Office Chair Mat with Lip for Hard Floors

A:  Hi there, thanks for the question! This mat is made specifically for use on hardwood surfaces such as laminate, vinyl, and wood. Variations in “hardness” of flooring products, frequency/duration of use, wheel size/type and other factors can affect specific performance on your floor surface. We hope this helps!

A:  Hello Greg, the Evolve Modern Shape Clear Office Chair mat is made from a durable vinyl material, designed to protect hard floors against chair damage. The mat is hard but has some flexibility. Thank you for your question!

A:  We installed ours with the inside of the roll down on the floor but I don’t think it matters

A:  Good Morning, the textured side should face the floor, the smooth top should be the surface that your chair rolls on. The texture helps to hold the mat in place and laying it facing downward will help the mat to flatten after shipping. Having the smooth side facing upward will help the chair to roll easily on top of the mat and will be easier to clean. Hope this helps!

A:  Yes, this hard floor chair mat should work on a vinyl plank floor.

A:  No. Its is flat and smooth.

A:  Hi Diana, we cannot guarantee your chair will not continue to roll on the chair mat when you get up.

A:  No, our mat is on a carpet & the chair is secure.

A:  No. It is flat and smooth...like the floor

A:  9 x 23

A:  The lip segment of the 33" x 44" Evolve Chair Mat is 22.5 inches wide x 8.2 inches long.

A:  22in

A:  Not at all.

A:  Yes, it may give off an odor since it is made of vinyl.

A:  We have not received recent complaints that the chair mat produces an odor. In some instances a plastic mat can emit a smell, specifically when removed from a shipping box that has been in high heat. In this cases, the odor quickly dissipates once the item is unpackaged and left to air out for a short period.

A:  Hi Dan, There is a slight texture on one side of the mat, while the other side should be smooth and flat. The textured side should face up for the chair to roll on, while the smooth side should face the hard floor below. In all reality, you may not notice a difference in which side faces up or down with a hard floor chair mat, but we recommend the textured side face up. We hope you enjoy your new mat!

A:  Same here. From what I can tell, there's no difference, which makes me wonder where the "lip" it mentions exists. Mine has no lip.

A:  I put the smooth side down. This way the upper side will provide some traction so it should not be too slick to step on. I think it is made for hard floors. I am using it on carpet and it will move around when moving my chair. I need to reposition it every few days.

A:  I noticed the same thing when I received mine. It doesn't seem to matter which side to place down. It appears they are both effective. I guess when one side gets scratched or discolored you can just flip it over.

A:  Both sides seemed the same to me. I tried using it on both sides and did not see a difference.
