In most cases, yes. Over time, repeated office chair movement can damage both carpet and hard floors.
Common signs of damage include:
- Flattened or frayed carpet fibers
- Worn carpet paths and snags
- Scratches, scuffs, and scrapes
- Discoloration and wear
The longer a chair is used without proper floor protection, the greater the likelihood of permanent damage. ES ROBBINS has a wide variety of chair mats available to help you shield and protect your floors.
