Standard leveling feet adjust height and contact the floor with a plain PA base. That PA base is adequate for most floors, but on hardwood, engineered wood, luxury vinyl, and other scratch-sensitive surfaces, PA under sustained load can cause micro-scratching over time. Adjustable leveling feet with pad solve this by integrating a PA6 floor protection pad directly into the base. The PA6 pad provides the same scratch-safe surface used in our furniture glides and furniture pads, permanently bonded to the leveling foot during manufacturing. Height adjustment and dedicated floor protection in one component.
Ø 38 mm PA base with integrated PA6 pad. Zinc-plated steel threaded rod. Available in M6 and two imperial thread sizes (5/16″-18 and 1/4″-20) for both metric and North American furniture specifications. Adjustable leveling feet with pad for furniture on scratch-sensitive floors. Rod length 25 mm. Black. Sold in packs of 4, adjustable in steps of 2 at checkout.
PA6 is the same material used across our furniture glides and furniture pads product lines. It is engineered specifically for floor contact: low friction, high wear resistance, and a smooth surface that does not scratch finished floors. On adjustable leveling feet with pad, the PA6 layer is permanently bonded to the bottom of the PA base during manufacturing.
PA (polyamide) is an excellent structural material for the leveling foot body. It handles compressive loads, resists chemicals, and maintains dimensional stability. But as a floor contact surface, PA has a higher coefficient of friction and a rougher micro-texture than PA6. Under the sustained compressive load of a leveling foot (the full weight of one furniture corner pressing continuously on the same spot), PA can micro-scratch sensitive finishes over months of contact. PA6 eliminates this risk. Leveling feet with floor protection pad that protect from the moment of installation.
The PA6 pad is integrated during manufacturing, not glued on afterward. This matters because leveling feet take rotational force every time the height is adjusted (turning the foot rotates the base against the floor). A taped-on pad can shift, peel, or detach under this rotation. The bonded PA6 pad has no adhesive layer to give way, so it stays put through adjustment, relocation, and cleaning. PA6 pad adjustable leveling feet that maintain floor protection for the life of the foot.
Adjustable leveling feet with pad are available in one metric thread (M6) and two imperial threads (5/16″-18 and 1/4″-20). This makes the product compatible with both metric and imperial furniture specifications.
Many furniture manufacturers in the US and Canada use imperial threaded inserts rather than metric. The 5/16″-18 thread is comparable in size to M8 and covers standard to heavy commercial furniture. The 1/4″-20 thread is comparable to M6 and covers lighter residential and commercial furniture. These imperial thread leveling feet screw directly into imperial threaded inserts without adapters, cross-threading, or compatibility issues.
The M6 thread covers the same lightweight to standard furniture range as M6 on other leveling feet in the catalog. Compatible with M6 threaded inserts in round (Ø 28 mm), square (20 × 20 mm), and other tube shapes. For heavier loads requiring M8, M10, or M12 without a pad, see standard base adjustable leveling feet.
Everything a standard leveling foot provides (height adjustment, wobble elimination, noise reduction) plus dedicated PA6 scratch protection on the floor contact surface. The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) recommends protective contact surfaces on all furniture legs, and adjustable leveling feet with pad meet that recommendation with a purpose-built PA6 floor contact layer.
The primary advantage over standard leveling feet. On hardwood, engineered wood, luxury vinyl plank, polished concrete, and sealed natural stone, the PA6 pad prevents the micro-scratching that accumulates under sustained static load. Every table, desk, and fixture rests its full weight on the leveling feet continuously. Over weeks and months, a plain PA base can leave marks. The PA6 pad does not. Leveling feet with built-in pad that protect finished floors from day one.
The threaded rod provides the same height adjustment as any leveling foot: turn to raise or lower each corner independently until the furniture sits level. The PA6 pad does not affect the adjustment mechanism. It adds floor protection to the adjustment function. Unlike leaving furniture on unprotected leveling feet, the integrated pad ensures the floor stays scratch-free while the furniture stays level. Adjustable feet with pad for furniture that needs both functions.
Without this product, achieving the same result requires a standard leveling foot plus a separate self-adhesive furniture pad applied to the base. That adhesive pad can shift, peel, or compress unevenly. It needs periodic replacement. Adjustable leveling feet with pad eliminate the separate pad entirely. One component. No adhesive. No maintenance. No peeling.
The PA6 pad adds a softer contact layer between the foot and the floor. On hard surfaces like tile, polished concrete, and hardwood, this reduces the contact noise when furniture shifts, vibrates, or is moved slightly. The noise reduction is cumulative across all feet on all furniture in a room. In restaurants, offices, and conference rooms, the quieter contact adds up.
The PA6 pad adds most value on smooth, hard floors where micro-scratching is the primary concern. On other floor types, the benefit varies. This guide helps you decide whether adjustable leveling feet with pad are the right choice for your specific floor.
Solid hardwood floors (oak, maple, walnut, cherry). Engineered hardwood with finished veneer. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT). Polished concrete with sealed finish. Sealed natural stone (marble, granite, travertine). Laminate flooring with wear layer. Cork flooring. Bamboo flooring. All of these surfaces can micro-scratch under sustained static load from a plain PA base. Adjustable leveling feet with pad prevent this damage on every contact point.
Raw concrete and unfinished surfaces: already rough, scratching is not a concern. Textured ceramic tile: the texture itself dominates the wear pattern. Carpet: no hard surface to scratch. Industrial epoxy: designed for heavy equipment, furniture scratching is not relevant. Outdoor pavers and decking: use standard leveling feet or stainless steel rod versions for corrosion resistance. Rubber gym flooring: soft surface absorbs contact.
For furniture manufacturers and facility managers ordering adjustable leveling feet with pad for new furniture projects, here is the specification process:
Specify these feet at the design stage. Choose the thread to match the threaded insert you are installing in the tube leg. For metric manufacturing, specify M6. For North American imperial manufacturing, specify 5/16″-18 or 1/4″-20. The 25 mm rod length provides standard adjustment range for typical commercial and residential floors. If your production needs different rod lengths or additional thread sizes with the integrated PA6 pad, contact Business Solutions for custom configurations.
If your existing furniture already has threaded inserts with M6, 5/16″-18, or 1/4″-20 threads, adjustable leveling feet with pad can replace the current leveling feet without any modification to the furniture. Unscrew the old foot, screw in the new foot with pad. The PA6 pad adds floor protection to furniture that was not originally specified with it. For existing furniture with other thread sizes, apply a separate self-adhesive pad to the current leveling foot base instead.
It was scratched by the pad you put there to protect it. Here is how that happens, and what we do differently.
It picks up sand and grit from the floor and holds it there. Every time the chair moves, that grit is dragged across the finish. The pad is still doing its job, and it is the thing causing the damage.
The face that meets the floor is vertical fiber, not a flat mat. It does not trap debris the way flat felt does, and it is built to take repeated movement without compressing flat.
| What happens | Cheap felt pad | Superior Glide |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Flat, matted fiber with an open surface | PA6 needle-punched fiber |
| Grit | Absorbs it and holds it against the floor finish | Does not trap debris the way flat felt does |
| Under weight | Compresses, and stays compressed | Built to take repeated movement without compressing flat |
| Staying on | Hardware-store pressure-sensitive backing creeps under sideways load and lets go at the leg face | The pad face comes fitted to the body, and the body grips the leg by press fit or thread. There is no tape to fail |
| Fit | An assortment pack, and you hope one size lands | Sized to your leg. Measure the base, order the size that sits flush or just inside it |
| Floor match | Sold as suitable for every floor | Matched to your floor. PA6 fiber for smooth hard floors, ABS for carpet and rough floors |
The PA6 pad face makes this a smooth hard floor part: hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, luxury vinyl, linoleum, cork and polished tile. For carpet or rough floors, ask us for the version without a pad.
PA is a strong structural material, but PA6 is engineered specifically for floor contact. PA6 has a lower coefficient of friction, higher scratch resistance, and a smoother surface that protects finished floors better than PA alone. On hardwood, engineered wood, and luxury vinyl, the PA6 pad prevents the micro-scratching that a plain PA base can cause under sustained load. The pad is permanently bonded to the base, so it cannot shift or peel off like an adhesive pad applied after the fact.
Many North American furniture manufacturers use imperial threaded inserts (5/16″-18 and 1/4″-20) rather than metric. These inch thread options allow the leveling foot to screw directly into imperial threaded inserts without adapters. The 5/16″-18 supports 80 kg per foot. The 1/4″-20 supports 60 kg per foot. The M6 option serves metric specifications at 60 kg per foot. Choose the thread that matches your threaded insert.
No. The PA6 pad is permanently integrated into the base during manufacturing. If the pad wears through, replace the entire leveling foot. The PA6 material is highly wear-resistant and lasts through the normal service life of the furniture under standard use conditions.
The PA6 pad is designed for smooth, hard floors (hardwood, engineered wood, luxury vinyl, polished concrete, smooth tile). On rough or textured surfaces, the pad provides less benefit because the texture itself causes wear regardless of the contact material. For rough surfaces, standard base leveling feet without pad are adequate since the floor texture makes scratch protection less relevant.
One leveling foot carries its share of the load on a PA6 pad face instead of bare plastic, so the base pads the floor while the thread takes the wobble out of the leg.
