Understand how furniture slides are designed for carpet, rugs, and soft flooring, and learn which materials and constructions allow smooth movement without snagging or damage.
Choosing the right furniture slide depends on your furniture leg material and structure. Furniture Slides perform best on furniture with a solid leg structure. The Nail-on slides are designed for wooden legs, while the self-adhesive slides are ideal for metal or plastic legs.

Every slide is engineered as a complete movement system — each material plays a specific role in smooth motion, durability, and floor protection.
Built with durable, low-friction materials that deliver smooth movement, reduced resistance, and dependable performance across carpeted floors and area rugs.
The ABS surface pad creates a durable, low-friction contact point that helps furniture move more easily across carpet, rugs, and other soft flooring. Its tough, impact-resistant structure resists wear and gouging, delivering smoother movement with less effort over time.
The EHBF adhesive foam layer adds compressible cushioning that absorbs vibration, impact, and uneven pressure. It helps reduce noise, protect sensitive flooring, and soften contact while maintaining overall stability. Only included on Ø 50 mm (1.97″) round size, as well as 50 × 50 mm (1.97″ × 1.97″) square sizes.
The zinc-plated steel rivet securely fastens the slide assembly to the furniture leg. The zinc coating improves corrosion resistance, while the mechanical attachment ensures long-term holding strength under frequent use and heavier loads.
Built with high-grip, low-friction materials that deliver smooth movement, reduced resistance, and dependable performance across carpeted floors and area rugs.
The ABS surface pad creates a durable, low-friction contact point that helps furniture move more easily across carpet, rugs, and other soft flooring. Its tough, impact-resistant structure resists wear and gouging, delivering smoother movement with less effort over time.
The EHBF adhesive backing tape creates a high-strength, long-lasting bond between the slide and furniture leg, ensuring secure attachment during everyday use. This compressible foam layer absorbs vibration and sound while resisting moisture, solvents, and temperature changes. Waterproof and impact-dampening, EHBF improves overall durability and helps maintain consistent glide performance over time.
