Castor Cups
Our castor cups provide a simple and effective way to stabilise furniture and prevent unwanted movement across UK homes, offices and commercial environments. Manufactured from strong black polypropylene, these Castor cups sit beneath castor wheels to stop them rolling or swivelling, protecting flooring surfaces from dents, scratches and wear. They are ideal for customers looking to secure furniture where mobility is no longer required, including on delicate surfaces such as hardwood, vinyl and tile, as well as those needing castor cups for carpets to improve grip and stability.
What Are Castor Cups?
Castor cups act as a fixed base for office chairs, cabinets, beds and other furniture fitted with wheels. By "cupping" the castor, they hold it in place and prevent movement caused by weight shifts or daily use. These Castor Cups can also be paired with felt, rubber or PTFE pads to reduce friction further, making them suitable for harder floor types where extra protection is needed.
