material similar to plastic chair mats to cover all carpet in my living room

 I want to cover all carpet in the apartment with something like "chair
mat". material.

Reason for that is that carpets accumulate a lot of dust and dust is
bad for asthma. The vacuuming does not help too much because it blows
the dust around the apartment, and this is exactly what makes asthma
real bad.

Anyway, option to replace a floor with wood or even linoleum does not
work because landlord does not allow alterations.

Plastic "chair mat" seems to be almost the right solution.
But the problem is that one plastic mat is very expensive. And I need a
lot.

Another problem, it will be real ugly.
Where can I find big sheets made from the same material?
How can I find a manufacturer of the material and buy it from them?
Can the regular consumer buy from the manufacturer?

Thanks.

 thanks,
Do you also happen to have similar "asthma problem" and have tried it?
Or it is just a logical suggestion?

Just a logical suggestion, no asthma here. But I do use a Hamilton Beach
air filter in my office, and it has cut the dust, cat hair, and
miscellaneous floating stuff down dramatically.

Good luck.

When I rented a carpeted townhouse and had a very allergic and asthmatic
housemate moving in, with the blessing and financing of the landlady, we:

1. Vaccummed and steam cleaned all carpets
2. Removed all draperies and sent them out for cleaning
3. Replaced the filter in the heating/air conditioning system and cleaned what
ductwork we could reach
4. Washed down all the walls once

This was on advice of the housemate's physician.  It worked.  Impressed the heck
out of the landlady too.

He was comfortable in the house.  Even though the person who had just moved out
(me, a friend) had a cat.
