The best way to protect your hardwood floors is with furniture glides. Chairs, couches, tables, and other furniture pieces can damage and scratch the surfaces of hardwood floors easily, and cost you thousands of dollars in hardwood floor repairs.
Moving Furniture
How often do you move, or rearrange, the furniture in your home? It is not uncommon for people to rearrange the furniture in their home every few years or so. Layouts, designs, themes, all of this becomes aged, and some people like to change things up a bit and give their home a brand new look. Moving the furniture can damage your floors, though, and furniture glides on the bottoms of all your furniture will prevent this from happening. As long as you are protecting your floors and covering the legs of your furniture, you will be able to rearrange as often as you’d like, without having to worry about scratches.
Company In Your Home
The occasional get-together or party can be a lot of fun. With drinks flowing, spirits rising, and people getting a little too carried away, your furniture might get moved around quite a bit, slid, or just pushed across the floor. This is another great reason to invest in a form of protection for your floors to keep things from getting too damaged. Yes, your friends and family respect you and don’t mean to scratch your floors, but using furniture glides will ensure that this doesn’t happen. They’re like an insurance plan for your floors. You might not always need them, but when you do, you will be glad you have them.
Bar Stools
Bar stools probably get moved around more than any other piece of furniture in a home. Because the bar gets used all the time for breakfast, snacks, coffee in the morning, conversations with the family as a meal is being prepared, etc., the bar stools get slid back and forth on a frequent basis. Glides on the bottoms of the stools will make them less likely to inflict any kind of damage onto the floors.
Sofas and Couches
The sofa is the heaviest piece of furniture, making it the likeliest candidate for damage to your floors. Putting glides on your sofa will keep it from scratching your floors and able to be moved around more often, if needed. Adjustable furniture glides are also available if the sofa features different sized feet, as a sectional would.
