What Are Desk Mats?
A desk mat or protector covers part of the work surface to prevent indentations from writing or scrapes from items sliding across the surface. It also ensures desks stay in their original condition longer, which makes the overall office look polished and professional when clients and the CEO make a stop. Desk pads add color, style, and convenience to any office space. Staff can also personalize clear desk mats with family photos, boosting morale.
Why Should You Use Desk Mats?
When employees reach instinctively for a pen, stapler, or mouse, those items are right where they left them. Some desk protectors also feature a raised edge so objects don't slide off the desk mat—no more scrambling to catch that rolling pen before it falls off the desk. For utmost safety, opt for a desk protector with antimicrobial properties to keep bacteria, mildew, and mold from taking up residence on desktops.
In addition to functionality, desk protectors provide a smooth, flat surface for resting the hands comfortably while working. Like mouse pads and wrist rests, ergonomic desk mats with low-profile designs lessen fatigue and minimize wrist strain to prevent the risk of injury. With a comfortable workstation for jotting down notes, reading paperwork, or typing on a computer, office staff can maintain high efficiency and stay productive throughout the day. Create company memos or sign business contracts without worrying about the ink bleeding through and staining the tabletop. Desk pads, also known as desk blotters, likewise act as a protective barrier against accidental ink spillage due to leaky pens.
