Abstract: A laminate mat, particularly a chair mat, comprises a wear layer, a decorative layer and a transparent or translucent wear layer. Each of the layers is formed from a plurality of resin impregnated papers. A resin impregnated decal may be interposed between the decorative layer and the wear layer to personalize the mat. The peripheral edges of the mat are routed to form a beveled or rounded configuration and paint, ink or a film is applied to the beveled or rounded peripheral edges.
