Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, all Vitrazza® Glass Chair Mats are made from solid 1/4-inch thick Tufver Glass™, our proprietary combination of toughened (heat-treated) glass and Invisible Shield® Pro15 Nano-Tech Coating to help resist fine scratches. It's Super-Strong!

Vitrazza Glass Chair Mats are made from solid 1/4-inch thick Tufver Glass.

Vitrazza Glass Chair Mats are offered in "Chiaro - Standard Clear" and "Luminoso - Low Iron Ultra Clear" clarity options. Standard clear glass is of course clear, you can see right through it, but the high iron content casts a slight green tint through it and the edges are darker. Our Low Iron Ultra Clear glass on the other hand has the iron almost entirely removed giving it a brighter 'more clear' aesthetic with illuminating turquoise hued edges that's especially valuable on light colored floors and in high-end offices. More information can be found HERE.

When you order from Vitrazza, you can have confidence that we're taking care of every detail. We want you to have a great experience receiving your new Glass Chair Mat. So we're not just shipping the mat, we're including our curated 'Care Envelope' too.

Here's what is included:

1. Inside you'll find our Transferable Lifetime Warranty, handling tips, cleaning tips, and more.

2. Vitrazza's Stabil-a-dot™ Bumper System helps your new Glass Chair Mat stay in place and resist creeping. Our Care Envelope includes 3 different sets; one labeled 'carpet', one labeled 'hard surface', and the other labeled 'Super Size" for plush and high-pile carpets. Choose the set that works for your floor and apply them to the bottom of the mat (we include a diagram).

 3. We give you a valuable Easy Lift Tool™ which customers use to slip under the mat when they want to lift or move it. We don't want you to use metal tools such as screwdrivers.

A Vitrazza® Glass Chair Mat can last up to 7x longer than traditional plastic mats and come with a Transferable Lifetime Warranty.

A Vitrazza® Glass Chair Mat is designed to hold over 1,000lbs.

It shouldn’t! We include our pioneering Stabil-a-Dot™ Bumper System in your Care Envelope. You get three sets of clear rubber bumpers to apply to the bottom of the mat, and they help keep mat in place. You also get a diagram with a recommendation for how to place the bumpers.

Yes! The Vitrazza Glass Chair Mat is an especially good chair mat for carpet in homes or offices with high-pile carpet since it is a firm, durable surface that won’t develop dents or ruts like a plastic mat. We also supply a Stabil-a-dot Bumper System designed specifically for use with high-pile carpet. 

Yes! If you have beautiful hard floors in your office, you shouldn’t cover them up with cheap, dingy plastic mats. A Vitrazza Glass Chair Mat is clear, so it never distracts from hardwood, tile, or marble floor designs. And, to keep the mat properly in place, we include the Stabil-a-dot Bumper System in your Care Envelope. Stabil-a-Dots are clear rubber bumpers which adhere to the glass and provide traction against your floor.

Yes, absolutely! We asked an independent ergonomist to study the impact a Glass Chair Mat might have on human behavior and posture. The pilot study was the first time anyone had scientifically studied the effect different flooring types have on "bad" awkward postures and "good" mini-movement breaks. The study revealed that a Glass Chair Mat used on top of a rug reduced bad postures by 93%, and promotes circulation by increasing mini-movement breaks 61%. Check out more details of the study to see how Glass Chair Mats stack up against plastic mats and office carpet tiles. (hint: it's still better!)

Water from shoes doesn’t pose a problem at all. We apply Invisible Shield® Pro15 Nano-Tech Coating to help resist fine scratches and to mitigate slip. Water is attracted to glass and this attraction normally causes water to stick to glass and spread out. This would naturally create more slip as the spread water comes between shoes and the glass. Our Nano-Tech Coating prevents this interaction and eliminates “spread”, allowing the water to bead instead.

No! Unlike other mats, a Vitrazza Glass Chair Mat is static-free.

Yes! If one of 18 in-stock and ready to ship designs from our Prima Collection™ won't fit your desk, we'll work with you to create a custom design from our Vista Collection™.

Most custom size Vista Collection mats take about 5 weeks for production and packaging, and then 3-5 days transit time depending on the shipping address.

If one user is going to move between two stations, we recommend one big mat –it will be less expensive, and performance will be much better. If there are two users at two distinct workstations, we recommend a mat for each and not trying to butt them up together. We do have a plastic H-channel connector to clip the mats together and protect the edges, but its more a solution you’d use after the fact rather than design from the beginning.

If your Glass Chair Mat breaks, which is extremely rare and unlikely, simply snap a photo of the broken mat in place and email it to support@vitrazza.com along with your invoice or other purchase information. A Vitrazza Specialist will contact you immediately to review.

Vitrazza Glass Chair Mats are made from Tufver Glass™, which is exceptionally strong and very unlikely to break if handled with care. 

Use the Easy Lift Tool™ provided in your Care Envelope to slide under the mat and pull the mat up to stand it on edge (on carpet or a moving blanket). DO NOT use screwdrivers or metal tools.
