Nail On Felt Glides
Nail on felt glides, also known as nail on felt chair glides or nail on furniture glides, are essential floor protection solutions designed specifically for wooden furniture and chairs. These innovative glides feature a high-quality felt base that provides smooth, silent movement across hard surfaces whilst preventing scratches, scuffs and friction damage to floors. Used extensively across the UK in residential, commercial and industrial applications, nail on felt glides offer superior floor protection compared to standard furniture feet. The felt material creates a soft buffer between furniture legs and flooring surfaces, making them ideal for hardwood, laminate, tile and other hard floor types.
Each glide incorporates a robust steel nail insert that ensures secure, long-term fixing with just a simple hammer installation, making them the preferred choice for furniture manufacturers, upholsterers, restaurants, offices and homeowners throughout Britain.

- Natural PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) base construction for ultra-smooth gliding performance
- Strong HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) base for enhanced durability and wear resistance

- Steel nail insert included with every glide for secure, permanent installation
- Available in multiple sizes from 17mm to 30mm diameter to suit various furniture leg dimensions
