This PVC floor mat is designed for use on hardwood, tile, laminate, or vinyl flooring, offering excellent protection against scratches and wear and tear from office chairs. Constructed from pliable and durable PVC, this mat is far less likely to tear or crack compared to conventional mats. The flexible mat may take some time to lie flat once unrolled. To expedite this, you can roll it in the opposite direction a few times before setting it on the floor.
