Felt Glides For Tubes

Felt glides for tubes, also known as furniture felt glides or felt chair glides, are specialised floor protection components designed to fit internally within round tubular legs. These felt furniture glides provide an effective solution for reducing friction and preventing floor damage across both commercial and domestic settings throughout the UK.

Manufactured from premium nylon with a soft felt base, our felt insert glides deliver superior performance in demanding environments whilst protecting delicate hard flooring surfaces including wood, laminate, vinyl and ceramic tiles. The ribbed shank design ensures a secure, push-fit installation that requires no adhesives or specialist tools, making them ideal for use in the hospitality sector, offices, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, restaurants and homes across the UK.
