Bookcases & Shelving — Expert Answer
Should you use shelf liners or mats in an office bookcase?
Shelf liners in commercial bookcases are optional but useful in specific situations: protecting shelf surfaces from heavy or abrasive items (like metal binders or heavy books with rough covers), providing grip for items that might slide (useful on smooth laminate shelves), and making cleaning easier. They're most practical in supply closets or mailroom shelving where shelves are more aggressively used. In display or client-facing bookcases, liners are typically unnecessary and can look unprofessional if visible. Choose non-slip rubber or ribbed plastic liners rated for the load.
