Adaptive Design for Enhanced Functionality

Featuring a tilting base, these glides automatically adjust to an angle of 15°, accommodating uneven surfaces with ease. This flexibility makes them highly effective for frequently repositioned furniture. Each glide is built with a robust polyethylene (PE) body and a felt base, combining durability with a soft-touch surface to minimize floor damage. With a 27mm base diameter, 0.5-1mm wall thickness and a 24mm length, these glides are precision-engineered to fit a tube diameter of 18mm.

What Are Felt Tilting Insert Glides?

Felt Tilting Insert Glides are specialized fittings designed to enhance the performance and longevity of tubular furniture. Unlike standard glides, these feature a ball-joint tilting base that enables them to adjust to flooring irregularities, preventing wobbling and improving stability. Their felt base provides a cushioned contact point that significantly reduces noise, friction and wear on delicate surfaces such as wood, tile and laminate.

These glides are widely used across commercial, industrial and residential applications, offering a simple yet effective solution for floor protection and smooth movement.
