Furniture bears a lot of weight, from heavy bookcases to
sofas and chairs, each one will carry a substantial load that will put force on
the legs and its interaction with the floor. Furniture glides are used
to prevent excess friction between these two parts that will otherwise lead to
scuffed or scratched floors, ripped and permanently dented carpets and damaged
furniture legs. They also make it easier to move items, as they have a rounded
bottom that will glide much more easily over the floor.
Common applications for furniture glides
A common application for furniture glides outside of
the home is in municipal buildings where the chairs and tables are frequently
rearranged. Schools use them to limit the amount of wear that happens
throughout the day, and restaurants might fit them to their table legs to make
them more secure and sturdy, or adjustable on uneven floors.
