Are GlassMats really made out of glass? Yes, they are made from glass which is specially treated so they will never crack, dent, indent, or discolor and will never wear out 
(unlike plastic chair mats that often become worn, unsightly and often unusable in a short period of time).

What are Radius (rounded) Corner chair mats and why would I want them? The standard GlassMat is manufactured with squared off (90 degree) corners. A Radius Corner is a curved (rounded) corner.
The standard curved (rounded) corner for a GlassMat is a 3” curve on the corners. These give the GlassMats a more “finished” and elegant look, especially if the mat and corners are visible by others.
Other radius corner sizes are available as shown here and on on the Chair Mats photo pages of the web site.
Are the edges beveled? No the edges are not beveled, as doing so would take away from the edge strength. The edges are “seamed” (basically sanded) which knocks off the sharp edges. You cannot cut yourself on these edges and you can still roll on and off the GlassMat.

However, with some carpets with a high nylon content, GlassMats can tend to “creep” over time. They can be easily slid back in place by standing off the mat and pushing with your foot or sliding by hand.
