Abstract
A rollable chairmat is provided that comprises a sheet of polymeric material having a plurality of parallel grooves across one of its surfaces. Adjacent grooves define a rib therebetween, with each rib defining a peak and each groove defining a valley. The grooves and ribs may run lengthwise, widthwise, or obliquely relative to the width and length of the chairmat. A method for storing a chairmat is also provided in which a grooved chairmat is rolled up into a tube, and the chairmat is maintained in its tubular configuration, by, e.g., placing it in a tube, encasing it in shrink-wrap, utilizing a strap or adhesive strip, or placing it in a box.
