Chair mats extend carpet and hard flooring life by keeping the caster from direct contact with the carpet or hard floor and dispersing pressure over a much broader area. Many carpet manufacturers void their warranty when using a chair with casters without a chair mat. 

Using a chair mat on a carpeted surface can reduce fatigue. Use of a chair mat requires less effort by you to move around your workspace resulting in less back and leg strain. 

Deflecto chair mats are rolled for the consumer’s convenience when transporting the product. To unroll the chair mat, make sure it is at least room temperature, unroll on a hard surface and place weight on all four corners. The chair mat should lay flat in 12 to 24 hours (warmer areas with direct sunlight will shorten the time needed). View our Chair Mat Unrolling Instructions here.

Please see our Chair Mat Selection Guide for guidance in selecting the appropriate mat for your intended usage. 

When selecting a chair mat it is important to consider the following:

      1. Determine Use. How much time per day will you be using your chair mat? If you spend 6 or more hours on your chair mat you will want to select a thicker gauge chair mat.  The thicker the chair mat, the smoother the roll.

      2. Determine Surface. Will the chair mat be on carpet or hard floor? If carpet, what is the pile thickness of the carpet. The thicker the pile, the thicker gauge the chair mat.

      3. Determine the Load. The more weight the chair mat is to support (office chair included), the thicker the chair mat.

One more tip, soft casters will extend the life of your chair mat.

Our mats come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit most needs. 

*Not all sizes and shapes are available in all thicknesses. Chair mats are also available in custom shapes and sizes.

Chair mats with beveled edges work best for frequent rolling on and off of your chair mat and offer a smoother transition from the carpet to the chair mat. Beveled edges are almost always more appropriate with thicker mats.

Deflecto® chair mats are made from Polycarbonate, Premium Vinyl, or Glass.

If your chair has casters, be sure they are “soft” casters and have wide wheels. If the chair has narrow or steel casters, premature wearing of the mat may occur.

To clean your chair mat, use warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

We make our traditional chair mats from PVC–polyvinyl chloride, and are softer and more pliable than polycarbonate mats. Polycarbonate mats are highly rigid, resilient mats and due to the hardness will provide less friction on the casters. They offer exceptional clarity, and they won’t curl, crack, or discolor. Deflecto® makes polycarbonate chair mats for any carpet thickness and floor type.

Use the Custom Chair Mat Design Template to order custom chair mats or contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-428-4328 or CustomerService@Deflecto.com.   

All Deflecto® chair mats have a limited lifetime product replacement warranty when used for the application specified. Please see our Chair Mat Warranty Claim Form for more information.

The textured surface should be placed up (the side the chair will move on) and the smooth surface is placed directly against your flooring. 

Our PVC and Polycarbonate chair mats are proudly Made in the USA, in Dover, Ohio. Our glass chair mats are made in China. 

If concrete is properly sealed, there should not be a problem. If not properly sealed, we do not recommend use on concrete due to potential condensation issues which can lead to mold and mildew. Please check with your floor provider to ensure the floor is properly sealed prior to chair mat use.

Whether placed in your home or business, floor mats capture debris and moisture from shoes to help keep a safe and clean environment, as well as protect from slips and falls.

LTF (Lint Trap Kit) is designed to vent inside the home. Do not use a gas dryer with this product; gas fumes would be vented inside the home and could result in increased carbon monoxide levels.

EX12 (Extra Heat-Heat Saver) can be hooked up to divert heat inside a room. Same as the LTF, a gas dryer venting inside a home can result in increased carbon monoxide levels.

Deflecto’s Supurr-Flex multi-layered metallic duct or our 3-ply metallic duct are UL181 Class 1 Air Connectors. These UL Listed ducts are most commonly used in residential applications. 

Deflecto has one of the most extensive product lines in the Industry with sheet metal and aluminum pipe, duct, and fittings, insulated and non-insulated flexible duct, a complete range of clothes dryer venting, ventilation and exhaust products, chimney liners, registers, grilles, diffusers, black pipe products, and cleaners.

Deflecto has many facilities in North America that produce the majority of our products. We also own a China facility that serves the Asian and European markets.

Yes, you can see all the product specification sheets in the product section of this website.

Yes, we have a wide variety of dryer venting tested to UL2158A. Check out our UL Listed Product Page. Also, we have a wide range of UL181 air duct product lines.  Deflecto is also an active member of HARDI, HRAI, ADC, ADI, and other Industry groups. 

UL 2158A is a standard developed for clothes dryer transition duct products.

UL 181 is the materials requirement in the fabrication of air duct and air connector systems.  The standard was created by taking into consideration a vast array of safety-related installation circumstances regarding flammability and structural integrity.  The tests required to qualify the material for this standard apply to both flexible and rigid ducts. 

Class 1 material is classified as having a flame-spread index of not over 25 without evidence of continued progressive combustion and a smoke-developed index of not over 50.

Class 0 material is classified as having a surface burning characteristic of zero flame spread and smoke development.

No! The proper items are A0 products (semi-rigid aluminum duct UL181 and UL 2158A), F0 products (Foil dryer transition duct UL 2158A), Solid aluminum pipe or 28 gauge galvanized pipe. Always verify with local building code requirements. Deflecto manufactures and sells all of these products.

Deflecto makes a Universal Bird Guard. Designed to prevent birds and rodents from entering your dryer or bathroom vent, the bird guard mounts over any existing 3-inch or 4-inch wide-mouth or louvered vent. Attach our bird guard with screws. When using over a dryer vent hood, make sure to clean it regularly to prevent lint build-up.

Deflecto’s plastic dryer vent hoods include a UV inhibitor to ensure long life and resistance to fading. A lifetime guarantee backs our Supurr Guard hoods against weathering. 

Try Deflecto’s “Skinny Duct” (DAF series) dryer venting products. These all-metal venting systems allow you to position the clothes dryer to within 2.5″ to 4″ of the wall. We also sell the recessed dryer part (DVBOXKIT)

Deflecto has two kits that allow clothes dryer hook up without the use of tools, tape or clamps. One uses UL Listed duct (HUPK8F) and one semi-rigid aluminum duct (HUPK89WA/25). Ask for Deflecto’s Hook-Up plus Protector Kits.

You should clean or replace your dryer duct at least twice a year. A clean duct reduces drying time, puts less stress on your dryer, and, most importantly, protects your family and home from fire. Remember to check your dryer vent hoods periodically and remove lint or other debris, if present.

Deflecto offers a dryer cleaning kit (item DVBOXKIT) that will allow you to clean out your duct in hard to reach places. It is important to remember to clean the back of your dryer as well and always remember to clean your dryer’s lint trap after each use. Dryer lint brush sold separately (item DVBRUSH).

Vinyl hose creates static electricity. When warm moist lint travels through the duct, it adheres to the wall of the vinyl. This results in a reduction of airflow, causes backpressure and makes the dryer have to work harder, possibly overheating and perhaps resulting in a dryer fire. Deflecto has excellent replacement products for your plastic and vinyl duct, like Semi-Rigid Duct, Flexible Metallic Duct, and Supurr-Flex Metallic Duct.

We do not sell louvers separately. You can purchase the Standard or Supurr-Vent Louvered Vent Hood and change out your faceplate on your existing hood. Contact Customer Service at 1-800-428-4328 or customerservice@deflecto.com for more information.

Depending on the application, we recommend you check and follow your local building codes to ensure proper material use and installation practices.

Yes, we manufacture custom products. The Engineering staff begins with a customer approved CAD drawing of the product. The material is then selected, prototypes are made for customer approval, resulting in finished custom products. When customers make the volume of units manufactured as large as possible, it does reduce the final cost per unit.

When ordering duct, we sell by the length. You get two pieces of L-shaped duct to make one full length of duct. So if you order 100 lengths, you get 200 pieces.

It will depend on the amount of BUT’s your gas devices are emitting. Check the spec sheet on the product detail page.

An Emergency Warning Triangle (EWT) Kit contains 3 reflective triangles with weighted bases.  To meet Federal requirements, commercial motor vehicles weighing greater than 10,000 lbs. are required to place the warning triangles outside of the vehicle if it is stopped on the shoulder of a highway for any cause other than necessary traffic stops to warn approaching traffic of the presence of a stopped vehicle.  Each warning device has instructions for its assembly and display.

The Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) Emblem is an important safety precaution to alert other drivers on the road of a vehicle that is not moving as fast as they are so that they have time to adjust their speed.  

A guideline is any vehicle that cannot keep up with 25 mph consistently should have the SMV emblem mounted on it when on a public roadway.  Bikes, mopeds or other vehicles that are not expected to operate at speeds over 25 mph are exempt from having a SMV emblem.  However, sometimes mopeds and all-terrain vehicles are used on the farm and operated under a special restricted operator’s license.  If this case, your state may require an emblem. It is best to contact your state Department of Motor Vehicles to see what the rules are for your area. 

A Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) Emblem should be mounted with the triangle point up on the rear of the vehicle and on or near the centerline. The base of the triangle should be 2-6 feet above the ground. 

Note: SMV emblems are for moving objects only. They should not be placed anywhere that isn’t mandated by law because it decreases the effectiveness of the SMV as a safety measure.

Both types of Slow-Moving Vehicle Emblems must comply with industry standards for reflectivity and be visible at night from distances between 100 and 1,000 ft. The difference is one type of emblem is made with red reflective sheeting or tape and the other is made with red acrylic reflex reflectors.
