Teflon Insert Glides
Help your tubular furniture glide smoothly while protecting floors with our Teflon insert glides. Also known as PTFE insert glides these innovative accessories are designed specifically for round tubes and combine the superior properties of LDPE plastic with genuine Teflon (PTFE) coating.
Perfect for chairs, tables, desks and other furniture with tubular legs these insert glides dramatically reduce friction whilst protecting your floors from scratches and damage. The ultra-smooth Teflon surface works brilliantly on both hard and soft floors making furniture movement effortless and silent.
Why Choose Teflon Insert Glides?
Teflon (PTFE) is renowned for having one of the lowest friction coefficients of any solid material. This means your furniture will glide across floors with minimal effort making it perfect for heavy chairs desks and tables that need regular repositioning.
Unlike some materials that work only on specific floor types Teflon insert glides excel on virtually any surface:
- Hard floors: Hardwood laminate tile vinyl - no scratching or marking
- Soft floors: Carpet rugs - smooth gliding without snagging
- Commercial floors: Polished concrete industrial flooring - professional performance
The Teflon surface is completely non-marking ensuring your expensive flooring stays pristine. No black marks scuffs or scratches - just smooth silent movement that protects both your furniture and floors.
