Furniture & Chair Glides

Our Selection of Furniture & Chair Glides

Nail On Feet & Glides

Nail on feet are a widely used form of glide, however they are not only used as glides but as feet for use with a range of tables, chairs or furniture. Furniture glides, or floor glides as they are also known, are often used to move large and heavy furniture across a surface, be it a hard or soft surface. There are many variations available of furniture glides, ranging from ones that are best for hard surfaces all the way to ones that are only really used for soft surfaces, an example being our metal floor glides.

Screw On Glides

These Screw on type of glides are widely renowned, when used as furniture glides these are best for use with hard flooring such as wood, metal or even concrete. Each of these floor glides is fortified with a metal washer inside the base to prevent rapid wearing and to ensure that it can take a large amount of weight. These Furniture glides screw into place using a drilled hole, this provides versatility in the vast amount of materials that can be used in conjunction with these in comparison to some of our other floor glides such as nail on feet. Furniture glides are an essential product inside many industries and are most common inside ones that often work with furniture, tables, sofa's or chairs as these are easily moved across a warehouse or workspace using this type of product.
