FAQs
What types of floors can these glides be used on?
These glides offer optimum protection for sensitive floors such as wood, glass, parquet, laminate, tiles, and linoleum.
How many glides are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 8 felt furniture glides.
What is the diameter of these glides?
The diameter of each round felt glide is 28 mm.
Are these glides easy to apply?
Yes, they are self-adhesive, meaning you simply peel off the backing and stick them onto the desired surface.
Can I use these on decorative objects, not just furniture?
Absolutely. They are ideal for protecting surfaces from vases, candle holders, or other decorative items.
What color are the glides?
These particular glides are black.
Can I cut the glides to a smaller size?
While not recommended as it may affect the integrity of the felt and adhesive, if necessary, you could attempt to cut them. However, results may vary and it could compromise their protective function.
Troubleshooting
Glides are not sticking securely.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Any dust, grease, or moisture will prevent proper adhesion. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds after application.
Glides came off after a short period.
The surface may have been too rough, porous, or not adequately prepared. For very smooth surfaces, an alternative adhesive might be considered, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Ensure the item is not moved excessively immediately after application.
Glides are not protecting the floor adequately.
Check if the glides are the correct size for the furniture legs. Ensure they are centered and applied flat. For very heavy items or high-traffic areas, consider specialized heavy-duty furniture sliders or pads.
Glides are creating visible marks on very soft flooring.
While designed for protection, extremely soft flooring might still show slight compression marks from heavy weight. Ensure the glides are clean and that weight is distributed evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Peel one felt glide from the backing sheet.
- Firmly press the adhesive side onto the desired surface.

- Sofas and couches
- Vases and decorative objects

They are suitable for use on surfaces such as wood, glass, metal, and hard plastics. Use on sensitive or painted surfaces should be tested in an inconspicuous area first.
Care:
- The felt glides are not designed to be washed. If they become dirty, they can be gently wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Over time, the felt may wear down or the adhesive may lose its grip. In such cases, the old glide should be removed, and a new one applied.
