If you were to look up the start up costs of your business, you’ll find that in the initial furnishing investment, flooring was right up there with the most expensive! Good quality flooring doesn’t come cheap, yet we walk all over it, wearing stiletto shoes, muddy boots, dragging heavy furniture and walking in wet shoes! Floors can be so easily damaged and the cost to replace or repair just doesn’t bare thinking about! Consider the value of your carpeted and hard floors, have you opted for parquet, real wood, laminate flooring, carpets; what would it cost to replace them should they be ruined? It really doesn’t have to be this way, not when there are cheap solutions out there which will protect your investment!

Floortex is a brand who is specially focussed on flooring products and solutions. They have been No.1 in the floor protection market since 2001 and their extensive range is unrivalled to this day with years of unbeaten value. Their selection of innovative mats provide cost-effective solutions for protecting your expensive or even irreplaceable floor coverings including carpets, real wood and laminated floors. Developed to focus on protecting your floors from diminishing appearance, wear and damage and what’s more, because it’s Floortex, you can choose from a huge variety of different products!

With all this snow and wet weather, our focus today is on Floortex’s doormat range. This selection offers superior moisture, dust and grime protection, whilst offering good water retention at the same time! This means that whenever a person enters your premises, the moisture from their shoes is captured as they walk over the mat, preventing water damage and dulling of your flooring, not to mention preventing trips, slips and falls (another huge cost to businesses).

Sometimes working in the office isn’t all it’s cut out to be. Some say it’s a sure way into the standard Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm working life (hmm, not so sure quite how accurate this stereotype is!) and others suggest that office work is perfect for the lazy employee suggesting that all ‘desk workers’ are thumb twiddlers or idle gossipers. Please let me tell you from my own experience that this couldn’t be further from the truth! Those sat behind a computer all day are expected to produce results and often must work to targets. Workload can be monitored and so employees are expected to produce a certain amount of work for their allotted working hours. Many take their tea breaks at their desks and will even eat their lunches while they work!

However, and this is a big however, there will always be a certain few who get away with a bit of ‘Office Dossing’ and if you’re one of those lucky few, we have just the thing for you! We understand just how mundane some people find working in the office and so have put our heads together to come up with some pastimes for you. We’re looking at office games and our first office game suggestion is ‘Spinning on the Office Chair’.

So yeah, we’ve all done it, all made ourselves ill from it and we’ve all enjoyed it maybe a little more than we should have, but you haven’t tried it this way! We’ve come up with a few ways that you could turn office chair spinning into a competitive sport. Try setting the challenge with your colleagues as to who can do the most turns in one spin. You could even see who could keep up chair spinning between phone calls for the longest, or if you’re feeling particularly naughty, you could see who’s able to maintain conversations with customers…whilst spinning! The possibilities are endless!

Take a browse through our selection of office chairs here at Office 365 designed for maximum fun! Combine them with the use of a chair mat and its plane sailing! Our chair mats reduce static build up, provide an even surface and protect you from catching your chairs wheels on wires whilst also providing the perfect surface for wheeling around in your chair! With chairs available in low back and high back options, with and without lumbar support, with or without arms, in a choice of colours and from selection of top brands, Office 365 are your one stop shop!

When you have invested your time, your commitment and your money into creating the ideal office, you’ll aim to take all steps necessary to protect it. Your floors whether carpeted or hard floor are often one of the biggest investments your business will make and this is where chair mats come in handy. Most office floor damage is caused by the rolling and constant movement of office chairs, and also by footwear. With the use of chair mats you can facilitate all chair movement, protecting the underlying office floor from the wear and tear that is inevitable with an office full of people. At Office 365 we offer chair mats for both hard floors and carpeted floors and in a range of different sizes and shapes. Our chair mats will undoubtedly increase the lifetime of your floors whilst also providing a quiet, flat surface for swivel chairs. Plus, with the use of our mats, your floors will stay looking as beautiful as the day they were laid.

The Green Bit

Materials & Environmental responsibility has been a core value of Floortex since the beginning. Their commitment is to provide the world’s finest quality, environmentally responsible office mats that exceed their valued customers’ expectations while conserving the earth’s natural resources. Their products will not deplete the ozone layer, consume precious fossil fuels, destroy rain forests, or produce non-biodegradable waste. Floortex products use renewable, recyclable, natural and raw materials that are biodegradable and recyclable to ensure maximum environmental performance.

The office job provides the perfect environment for the classic ‘spinny chair’ manoeuvre which takes place in offices across the globe. In between calls, on tea breaks, lunch breaks or when supposed to be working, the spinning chair move is a very common occurrence. In fact, some people may even class it as a hobby! Take a look at the facebook page Spinning Around on Office Chairs which is a club dedicated to those who love spinning chairs or ‘office chairs’! Blimey, what is the world coming to?

So while your staff are all ‘busy’ wheeling and spinning away on their office chairs, your poor floor will be suffering the consequences no matter whether it’s carpeted or hard floor. This is a cost none of us can afford, especially during this economic crisis, so why not protect your floors with a chair mat?

A chair mat is basically a flat piece of material which is placed beneath your chair protecting the floor from wear and tear when the chair moves around. Some chair mats have even been developed to prevent the build-up of electrostatic charges which could otherwise come as a nasty shock! Office 365 have a fantastic range of chair mats which are available in all shapes and sizes, in different materials, and for either carpets, hard floors, or both! Take for example our Computex range which is a brand by Floortex. These anti-static chair mats and general floor mats protect against electrostatic charges from electrical appliances and components such as computers, copying machines, fax machines and medical technology equipment. They provide total static protection for you and your machines. The range has been developed with a friendly gripper back for carpets and a smooth back option for hard floors both of which ensuring the mat stays firmly in place. Constant movement can create electrical charges and will inevitably shorten the life of your hardware. These electrical charges will also attract a high quantity of dust that will seriously damage your equipment. The Computex chair mat is available in PVC only and provides total static protection for you and your machines! The Computex Chair Mat pictured features the following;

• Rectangular shape with lip
• Gripper for low pile carpet
• Size: 1150 x 1340mm
• 31% off

So if you’re looking to protect your investments then a chair mat is the way forward. If you’d like to discuss your floor protection options, our friendly team are trained to answer all of your queries and are ready and waiting for your call – 0870 766 1624.
