Every quote from Superior Glide arrives with a written specification: the product, the size, and the mounting method for your floors and your furniture. It is the commercial furniture floor protection process behind some of Orlando’s hardest-working hospitality floors, and it starts with free samples.

Before the sales copy
Numbers first, adjectives later. These are the working conditions this catalogue is bought for.
4
One resort lobby ran four glide designs on the same children’s stools before the failure stopped. The full history is below, photographs and all.
200+
What a busy dining section does to each chair. Call it 200 drags a day and the arithmetic reaches 73,000 a year, per chair, on the same four contact points.
6
Glides, slides, pads, tube plugs, leveling feet and sled base glides, so one supplier covers a property’s whole furniture estate.

Approved accounts deal with one named person. Whoever reviews your first sample request also handles the reorders.
Case study: hotel lobby, children’s area
A flagship Orlando-area resort had stools failing in the children’s area of a lobby. Not the furniture: the glides. Four designs went onto the same stools, in the same room, under the same abuse.
Wore down across the carpeted transition areas. When they came off, the screws had to be dug out of the legs, and the legs kept the damage.
Commodity glides on one driven nail each. Repeated sideways force snapped them off and left exposed nails in the leg bottoms, pointed at the floor.
Wore down quickly and broke at the attachment point, the same failure as before with a different label, accelerated by the carpet fibers.
What we specified. A hard face selected for the mix of tile and carpet, bonded across the whole leg base with no nail to snap, and enough grip that a stool does not shoot out from under a child.
The lesson has held on every project since. A glide that works on hardwood will not automatically work on carpet, and the reverse is just as true. Specify to the floor, not to the catalogue photo.
Floor-care bodies argue the same from their side of the trade: the National Wood Flooring Association’s care guidance treats protectors under every furniture leg as basic maintenance for a wood floor, at woodfloors.org.
Case study: restaurant dining room
The common assumption is that a Teflon glide slides forever. At home it often does. In a working dining room, the material arithmetic runs the other way, and it is measurable.
Shore D hardness around 50 to 60, with a softer rubberized layer beneath. Feels excellent on day one, and is softer than the fibers it rides on.
Selected by the flooring trade for abrasion resistance, at a Rockwell R hardness around 100 to 120, with polypropylene weaves near 92. Against a softer glide it behaves like fine sandpaper.
The specification that ends the cycle: a glide face harder than the carpet it crosses, so the fiber polishes the glide instead of eating it. Hardness is the spec, not the brand name.
What that means in the current range
The ABS-faced furniture slides line, built on exactly this hardness principle, with nail-on and adhesive mounting.
The PA6 furniture glides line, where a low-friction face meets sealed wood, tile and vinyl without marking them.
The materials reasoning continues in the furniture slides guide, including what is inside each slide and why the mounting matters as much as the face.
From first email to delivered order
No retail funnel and no generic intake form. Three steps, each one producing something in writing.
01
The request form, an email to sales@, or the phone line. Describe what you are protecting: the furniture, the floors, how the space is used, and rough quantities.
02
We review the project and ship the samples we would actually specify, free for verified businesses. The shipment includes the product, size and mounting method in writing.
03
Stock ships promptly on approval. Larger and custom orders get a confirmed lead time in writing before you commit, and multi-site rollouts are handled on request.
Everything lands in writing. The recommendation, the pricing, the lead time. If a number is not written down, you should not have to plan around it, so we do not ask you to.
Who this is built for
Each card reflects real orders, not personas. Find your building and start where it points.
A 600-chair ballroom turned four times a day multiplies one bad glide by every cycle. We spec by room type, from ballroom stacks to lobby seating.
The 200-drags-a-day environment from the case study above. Hard-faced slides for carpeted dining, glides for tile and wood, plugs for tube-leg chairs.
Protect what you just installed. Handover packs for finished projects, spec sheets your customers can keep, and trade pricing on repeat volume.
Task seating, conference rooms, council chambers and assembly halls. Specifications that survive heavy use and procurement review alike.
A classroom moves its chairs fifty times a day for nine months a year, and most of those chairs stand on hollow tube legs. Institutional volume pricing applies.
Bedside tables, dining chairs, transfer seating. Quiet movement matters here, and so does flooring that is expensive to repair.
The short version
Four reasons that survive procurement scrutiny, none of them a slogan.
Commercial projects price differently than retail. Tell us the quantities and the numbers arrive written down, so budgets can be planned around them.
Every quote names the product, the size, the face material and the mounting for your exact floors and furniture. You approve a spec, not a guess.
Stock ships promptly on approval; anything larger or custom gets a confirmed lead time before you commit. No estimated windows we cannot meet.
Approved business accounts get a direct specification contact. No queue and no chatbot: the person who reviewed the first samples handles the repeat orders.
For verified buyers
A business account is free, carries no minimum commitment, and usually follows the first sample conversation rather than preceding it.
What an approved account carries: project pricing on repeat orders without re-quoting, bulk ordering with saved history, custom sizing and colors on qualifying volume, net terms and PO billing on approved accounts, and that one named specification contact.
Who qualifies: hospitality groups, restaurants and food service operators, flooring retailers and installers, property and facility teams, interior designers and specifiers, schools, healthcare and government facilities.
01
Open the application under My Account, or start by emailing sales@superiorglide.com with your organization and what you buy.
02
A person reads it, not a filter. If anything is unclear we ask, and approval is confirmed by email.
03
Once approved, business pricing shows automatically when you log in, and the first order usually follows straight from the sample conversation.
Still open
The buying mechanics for commercial customers. Product questions live in the product guides.
Describe the project: the furniture, the floors, how the space is used, rough quantities. We ship the samples we would actually specify for it, free for verified businesses, and every shipment includes the written recommendation. It is a working proposal you can put on a desk, not a generic sample box.
It scales with quantity, and larger orders price better. We quote in writing before you commit so the numbers can go into a budget as-is. For large or unusual projects, email sales@superiorglide.com with the quantities and we price the whole structure at once.
Stock items ship promptly once an order is approved. Custom sizes, custom colors and orders beyond standing inventory get a confirmed lead time in writing before you commit. We do not give estimated windows we cannot meet, which occasionally means the honest number is longer than a competitor’s guess.
That is the core of the service. Send what you know about the furniture, the floor and the traffic, and the specification team returns a written recommendation naming the product, size, face material and mounting. It comes with every sample shipment at no charge.
On qualifying bulk projects, yes, with confirmed lead times. Send the specification and the volume and we confirm feasibility before anything is promised. Custom work follows a first standard order more often than it leads one.
On approved business accounts and qualifying orders, yes. Apply for the account first, then raise billing during the first project conversation so terms are settled before the first large order, not during it.
Both are routine. Tell us how you want it structured: one delivery per property, staged waves, or a single central shipment. We confirm what is possible in writing before you commit to an order structure.
Yes, and it is a priority for us. Handover packs for finished installations, spec sheets branded for your customer file, and trade pricing that improves with repeat volume. Email sales@superiorglide.com with your typical project profile and we will set the account up around it.
