·underfloor-heated floors
·large rolling zones
·very heavy chairs where thick PC or glass is warranted

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Minimal visual intrusion: clear, plain and easy to understand. The 120 × 100 cm size is tidy but can be too small for wide rolling patterns.

LONGEVITY

Real-world reports support at least three years under normal use; it is a consumable-budget product, not a lifetime mat. Avoid heated floors as IKEA instructs.
