FLOOR PROTECTION GUIDES
Practical guides on materials, sizing, and floor compatibility, from Superior Glide.
Everything you need to know about engineered floor protection.
To protect vinyl plank flooring from chair legs, start with the grit. What to fit on each kind of leg, how to size it, and why felt keeps failing here.
How to stop chairs sliding on wood floors, tile and polished concrete, why most chairs should slide rather than grip, and what to fit on the rest.
Nail-on furniture glides suit solid wood legs. Which chairs they belong on, which they do not, and how to fit one in 4 steps with a rubber mallet.
How to measure furniture legs for pads: where to measure each leg shape, the size range pads actually cover, and when a pad beats a glide.
How to measure furniture legs in two minutes: where to measure each leg shape, the full glide and slide size chart, and a printable guide to take with you.
Nail-on vs self-adhesive furniture glides: solid wood takes nail-on, metal and laminate take self-adhesive, furniture that stays put takes a pad.
Furniture glides vs slides: a soft fiber face for hardwood, vinyl and tile, a hard face for carpet and rough floors. How to tell which one you need.
Felt furniture pads scratch hardwood floors once they shed, open up and start trapping grit. What really causes the marks, and what to fit instead.
