Floor Protection
Hard surface floors need protection from chair and stool legs,
and from rocking chair rockers.
for Rocking Chair Rockers.
We have strips made of industrial felt and adhesive. We put them on the bottoms of the rockers. You can rock for hours and you can drag the chair around the room without scratching wood floors.
When the strips wear out, we have replacements. Please call or email.
industrial felt strips applied to rockers
for Dining Chair and Stool Legs
We have thick discs made of industrial felt and adhesive as our standard product to apply. The felt provides surprisingly little resistance to sliding on rugs or carpet, so we put them on all the chairs. This allows the chairs to be freely used in locations with different floors. If your chairs will always be used on carpet and you wish to have hard plastic glides, please let us know. We have some that fit in the recess described below as an innovation.
Common and Typical Application
There are two common ways of applying the chair/stool leg pads
- peel and stick adhesive, which doesn't keep the pads from squirming off to the side.
- screw-on or nail-on glides, which are ugly and can deeply scratch the floor when they fail.
We Have an Innovation
We built a machine to bore a recess in the bottoms of the chair legs to receive heavy duty felt discs:
- The felt stays in place.
- If the felt wears out, we'll send you some more.
