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.
