Furniture Glides (category page)

Our extensive range of Chair Glides includes 3 Prong Glides, Plastic Glides and Rubber Cushion Glides along with self adhesive pads, all designed to make moving your furniture easier and kinder to your floor.

Furniture glides are small disks of soft material that are attached to the base of your chairs, helping chairs to glide easily and protecting floors from scratching.

At Heico Direct, we offer a varied range of glides which are all designed to make moving your furniture easier and kinder to your floor. Our high-quality chair glides offer several benefits for those looking to change the look of their chairs, including floor protection, reduced friction with movement, stability, noise reduction when the chairs are moved, and an extended chair lifespan.

Plus, they are cost-effective and are easy to replace; making furniture glides the perfect way to improve the look and functionality of your chairs.

Our Heico Direct chair glides are perfect for all floor types including: carpeted floors, tiles and hardwood floors. The furniture sliders won’t damage or rip carpets, and they are built to last without falling apart. Plus, they are easy to install, making them a practical and reliable choice for protecting your floors and enhancing the functionality of your furniture.

Both chair glides and castors are fastened to the bottom of furniture and seem to perform the same function. However, they do work differently. Glides are stationary, whereas castors are made of wheels so they can be moved with ease.

Castors are made for environments where mobility is needed such as in offices. Office chairs have castors to allow users to move easily from place to place without having to drag their chairs. Castors also provide ergonomic benefits by allowing users to adjust their positions with ease, reducing strain during long periods of work. Plus, they allow for even weight distribution so floors are protected from damage and remain in good condition.

Furniture moving sliders also offer solutions for furniture mobility, they are detachable disks placed under furniture legs, making it easy to move furniture, preventing scratches and reducing noise. So both chair glides and castors prioritise mobility whilst protecting surfaces.

Chair glides can be used on a wide range of floor types, including carpets, tiles, and hardwood floors.

Yes, Heico Direct’s chair glides are made to be easy to install and user-friendly. They slip on and off so can be quickly attached without any issues. Our self-adhesive glides easily stick to the base of chairs in seconds, and our metal chair glides can be simply hammered into place.

We sell a wide variety of chair glides, from self-adhesive felt pads to metal and plastic glides.

Both chair glides and castors can be attached to furniture legs but function differently. Chair glides are stationary whereas castors have wheels and so are moveable.

We recommend castors for workspaces, as they are ergonomic and allow for even weight distribution and ease of movement throughout the day. Chair glides, however, are more suitable for more stationary settings, and will protect your floors from scratches and damage.
