PA6 needle-punched fiber on a rigid ABS platform. Nail-on for solid wood. Self-adhesive for metal, plastic, and solid wood. Smooth or anti-slip. Round, square, and rectangular shapes from 23 mm to 75 mm. These are the furniture glides for hard floors that protect the way they should.
Specified by hotels, restaurants, and universities · NWFA-recommended protective glides for hardwood
All furniture glides for hard floors fall into one of two mounting categories. Mounting method is the first decision, and it depends on your leg material, not your preference. The right furniture glides for hard floors come down to this single choice.
NAIL-ON
A zinc-plated steel tubular rivet drives into solid wood with a rubber mallet. The anti-rotation notch molded into the rivet stops the glide from spinning. No adhesive, no pre-drilling, no drying time.
SELF-ADHESIVE
EHBF acrylic foam tape bonds to chrome, powder-coated steel, anodized aluminum, plastic, and solid wood. No tools, no rivet holes. Peel, press, done.
Choose a surface, choose a shape from our furniture glides for hard floors lineup. Smooth Glide for floors that should be protected; Anti-Slip for furniture that should hold position. Round, square, and rectangular shapes from Ø 23 mm to 75 mm.
PA6 needle-punched polyamide fiber. The go-to surface for dining chairs, bar stools, and any furniture that moves regularly on smooth, hard floors. Silent and floor-safe on hardwood, tile, laminate, vinyl, and stone.
For round turned legs on dining chairs, bar stools, side tables, and accent furniture.
For square-section legs on Parsons chairs, modern dining chairs, and commercial seating.
For rectangular legs on mid-century, Scandinavian, and transitional furniture.
NR+CR (natural and chloroprene) rubber surface grips the floor instead of gliding. For furniture that must hold position: accent chairs, instrument stands, bar stools on polished concrete, marine, and hospitality seating. Same ABS platform and ZnFe rivet as the Smooth Glide range.
For round legs on furniture that must stay exactly where it is placed.
For square legs on accent furniture, instrument stands, and fixed commercial seating.
For rectangular legs on furniture that must resist lateral movement on smooth, hard floors.
The self-adhesive furniture glides for hard floors share the same surfaces and shapes as the nail-on range, mounted with EHBF acrylic foam tape instead of a rivet. For metal, plastic, and solid wood legs that cannot take a nail.
PA6 needle-punched fiber on an EHBF-bonded ABS platform. For metal-leg dining chairs, powder-coated steel tables, aluminum-frame furniture, and any solid wood leg where a non-mechanical mount is preferred.
For round legs on metal-frame chairs, stools, tables, and solid wood furniture.
For square legs on metal, composite-frame, and solid wood furniture.
For rectangular legs on metal-frame and solid wood furniture.
NR+CR rubber grip surface on an EHBF-bonded ABS platform. For metal, plastic, or solid wood legs on furniture that must hold position. Same grip performance as the nail-on Anti-Slip range, adhesive-mounted for legs that cannot take a rivet.
For round metal, plastic, or solid wood legs on furniture that must stay in place.
For square metal, plastic, or solid wood legs on fixed-position furniture.
For rectangular metal, plastic, or solid wood legs where an anti-slip grip is required.
Both furniture glides for hard floors and pads use PA6 needle-punched fiber on the same smooth, hard floors. The difference is in structure, size range, and mounting.
PA6 fiber bonded to a rigid ABS platform with a ZnFe rivet (nail-on) or EHBF adhesive (self-adhesive). The ABS platform distributes load and prevents the fiber from curling under asymmetric weight. Round, square, and rectangular. Best for high-use furniture that moves frequently on smooth, hard floors: dining chairs, bar stools, desk chairs, and commercial seating.
Our furniture glides for hard floors use chemically inert PA6 needle-punched fiber that leaves no marks, scuffs, or residue on any sealed floor finish. The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) recommends protective glides on all furniture legs as a primary floor maintenance measure.
✓Hardwood: all species, oiled, waxed, lacquered
✓Engineered Wood: parquet, bamboo, herringbone
✓Laminate: all types and AC ratings
✓Luxury Vinyl: LVP, LVT, sheet vinyl
✓Ceramic & Porcelain Tile: glazed, unglazed, polished
✓Natural Stone: marble, granite, slate, travertine (polished)
✓Concrete: sealed, polished, epoxy-coated
✓Cork: all cork flooring types
✓Linoleum: Marmoleum, sheet linoleum
Furniture glides for hard floors are made for sealed, smooth surfaces. Unsealed concrete, textured tile, natural cleft stone, and floors with wide grout lines wear PA6 fiber prematurely. For these surfaces, use furniture slides with a hard ABS base that handles abrasive textures.
