Collection: Floor protectors

What are good floor protectors, and why are they essential for your floor?

floor protectors are essential for protecting your floor from scratches caused by sliding furniture. Nearly all floor damage is caused by using unsuitable floor protectors. Most glides are made from hard materials such as felt or Teflon. A hard glide on a hard floor is asking for trouble. Dirt like sand gets trapped between the glide foot and the floor glide, and as you move the furniture, the dirt acts like sandpaper against the floor. Good floor protectors are made from soft materials, such as polyamide fibres, to prevent scratches and extend the lifespan of your floor.

What types of floor protectors are available?

There are many different types of floor protectors available. Below are the most common materials:

• Felt glides: felt pads under chairs are well-known. Your furniture glides more easily, and they are inexpensive. However, they are not suitable for hard floors. Felt is still too hard for such surfaces. When dirt gets between the felt pad and the floor, the sanding effect occurs.
• Teflon glides: These glides are very suitable for carpeted floors. For hard floors, Teflon is far too hard.
• Rubber glides: If you want to prevent your furniture from sliding easily, rubber glides are the solution.
• Polyamide fibre glides: Scratch no More floor protectors are uniquely made with polyamide fibres. Scratch no More offers a 100% scratch-free guarantee, and the chairs glide smoothly while reducing noise.

Why Scratch no More floor protectors?

Scratch no More floor protectors are the only proven scratch-free option. The polyamide fibres absorb dirt, preventing the sanding effect seen with felt or Teflon glides. Watch the test below to see how sand behaves under felt, Teflon, or plastic glides compared to Scratch no More glides, which leave the floor untouched. If you care for your floor, choose Scratch no More.

Which chairs use floor protectors?

To protect your floor, use floor protectors for every chair. Scratch no More has developed glides for all types of chairs. These are the most common:

• Tube frame glides: These glides are suitable for chairs with round and square tube frames. For round tube frames, simply click the glide around the tube. For square tube frames, you can either attach the glide directly or screw it in.
• Screw-in glides: These glides are suitable for wooden or plastic legs. The base is screwed into the leg once, and the replaceable glide foot clicks onto the base.
• Chair caps for tubular legs: These caps fit into hollow tubes. They can also be used under angled legs, up to a 30° angle.

For chairs with different bases or other types of legs, there are glides to suit all needs. View all glide caps for the complete range.

Which floors are floor protectors suitable for?

The floor protectors from Scratch no More are suitable for all hard floors. By hard floors, we mean surfaces such as vinyl, linoleum, poured floors, PVC, wooden, and stone floors. For carpet or other types of flooring, please consider an alternative solution or contact us for assistance. We’d be happy to provide a suitable option.

How often should floor protectors be replaced?

Scratch no More floor protectors typically need replacing only after two years. The average felt glide needs replacement after three months because felt wears down quickly, whereas Scratch no More polyamide fibre glides are highly durable. The soft yet strong polyamide fibres require proper use and maintenance.

Do Scratch no More floor protectors make noise when sliding?

All Scratch no More floor protectors have a noise-reducing effect. The soft polyamide fibres enable nearly silent sliding. Additionally, they glide smoothly on hard floors. Whether moving heavy chairs, sofas, or tables, you will hear much less noise.

Can floor protectors be used under angled legs?

There are various Scratch no More glides designed for angled legs. The base parts of the Footfixx Wood 3.0 screw glide and the Footfixx Hollow tube cap feature a swivel joint that allows the glide foot to rotate. This enables their use under angled legs, up to a 30° angle relative to the floor.
