||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I paid more for this because I'd read that polycarbonate is supposedly more durable than polypropylene, like my previous chair mat, which had cracked badly. This chair mat lasted only about 2 months before it started to crack. I've had it about 4 months now, and it's cracked almost as much as the mat it replaced, which I'd had for about a year and a half.

Posted .Hello,
Thank you for your feedback on our Cleartex Ultimat, we are very sorry to hear that your mat has begun to crack after such short use. This polycarbonate mat is exceptionally durable and holds twice the impact strength compared to traditional PVC chair mats. The Floortex Ultimat has been tested to withstand weights up to 250 pounds, which includes both the weight of the chair and user. To avoid the mat from cracking, we recommend only placing your office chair with plastic wheel casters on the mat and no stationary furniture (i.e. desks or chairs with four legs) as this can create pressure points in the mat, which can cause it to crack. This particular mat is only suitable for carpets up to 1/2 inches thick including the carpet underlay, placing the mat on plush pile carpet may lead to cracking as the mat is unable to support its weight.
For a more durable mat, we would recommend upgrading to our Floortex Megamat. This mat is still made from polycarbonate; however, it is thicker than the Ultimat and comes without carpet grippers due to the thickness of the mat. The thickness of the mat also allows for use on all pile carpets without cracking as well as allowing for increased weight capacity (up to 500lbs) and added durability.
