Hard-floor and carpet mats use different underside textures · review
A transparent hard-floor protection mat made from BPA-free, recyclable plastic, with a textured non-slip underside and underfloor-heating compatibility.
The bottom line A solid, straightforward hard-floor mat with a genuine underfloor-heating compatibility claim and BPA-free materials — a sensible entry-tier pick for a laminate or tile home office.
This mat is built and marketed specifically for hard flooring — laminate, parquet, tile — rather than as a universal mat for any surface, and Kernburg states it is made from BPA-free, recyclable plastic manufactured in Germany.
A textured surface is designed to keep the mat in place even under intensive daily rolling, and the mat is stated to reduce footstep and rolling noise, along with underfloor-heating compatibility that not every rigid plastic mat shares — a genuinely useful distinction for anyone with heated floors.
For carpeted rooms, this mat is the wrong tool: hard-floor mats and carpet mats use different underside textures, and using either on the wrong surface floor type leaves it sliding. This is one of two hard-floor-specific mats at the entry tier of this hub, differing mainly in material (polypropylene here versus polycarbonate on the other) and specific marketing claims.

Kernburg states the mat is suitable for rooms with underfloor heating, which is not true of every hard-floor mat — worth confirming on the current listing if this applies to your room.
This mat is marketed specifically for hard floors — laminate, parquet, tile. For carpeted rooms, a carpet-specific mat with grip teeth on the underside, rather than a smooth hard-floor mat, is the correct choice.
