We also tend to be careful about dragging furniture or using abrasive cleaning supplies on our hardwood. Despite all those efforts, a lot of home owners forget about pre-emptive measure they can take to protect their hardwood, be it oak, chestnut, pine, bamboo or otherwise. Let’s dig in to a few things you can easily do to both protect and extend the life of your flooring including rug pads for hardwood floors. You love your designer chairs, and eloquent end table, but what you don’t love are the scratches they make on your floor during normal use or re-arrangement. This is where a proper “chair glide” or “furniture pad” can make all the difference. This type of protection is very secure and only needs to be applied once. Essentially, these are fitted pads that are placed on the bottoms of the legs of your chairs or other types of furniture such as a couch, table, or stool. They can be made of plastic, rubber, or even wood. Regardless of material type, the bottom of these pads are always covered with a non-friction, non-scratch padding that slides easily over your hardwood.

Because they are installed using a hammer and nail (or a with a srew), the only thing to remember is to ensure the nail or screw head is sunk into the pad and does not stick out so as to prevent scratching. These pads are the same as the aforementioned tap on pads, but instead of using a nail or screw, you simply peel back a paper coating to reveal a glue-like sticky surface that is pressed onto the bottom legs of your furniture to secure them. The adhesive used is made specifically for furniture and will not cause any damage. Whereas materials for the nail on pads can vary, these pads are typically cheaper and made from rubber or felt. While these are the more cost effective option, they typically don’t last nearly as long and will need regular replacement depending on how often you move your furniture. These pads, often made from soft plastic or rubber, slid on and off the ends of your desk or chair legs. Most furniture pads and chair glides are sold for use with all flooring, it is important for you to know what type of flooring you have so you can make the best decision with regards to protecting your home, office, entry way or living room.

Common materials used for padding include: metal, cork, rubber, plastic and bamboo. Manufacturers of your flooring may also provide guidance as to the best types of pads so it never hurts to reach out to the manufacturer for their recommendation. Just like high “foot traffic” areas, places where you tend to move furniture more often will also cause a lot of wear and tear on your floor, rugs and carpet. Because of this you’ll want to make sure you choose the right rug pad for hardwood floors and the proper furniture pad to protect your floors and carpets. In general, thicker pads work better for heavy furniture like large tables, couches, appliances, moveable counters, etc. Felt pads can be a good option for kitchens and dining rooms. High use areas and items should be inspected a few times a year for wear and replacement of pads. Rug pads for hardwood floors make a great DIY base for creating your own furniture pads. They are cost effective, strong and sturdy, durable, and are guaranteed to protect.
