FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the two sizes provided?
The product includes strips measuring 100 cm x 10 cm x 5 mm and 100 cm x 2 cm x 5 mm.
Can these gliders be used on carpet?
These gliders are designed for hard surfaces to protect floors. They are not intended for use on carpet.
How many gliders are included in the package?
The product description indicates two types of sizes, suggesting multiple strips of each are included to cover various furniture needs.
Will the adhesive damage my furniture finish?
The adhesive is designed for secure attachment. While generally safe, it's recommended to test on an inconspicuous area if you are concerned about your furniture's finish, especially on delicate or antique items.
Can I cut these gliders into smaller shapes for small furniture feet?
Yes, the product is designed to be freely cut into any shape and size, making them suitable for small furniture feet as well.
Are these gliders reusable?
Once applied with the adhesive backing, they are not designed for frequent removal and reapplication. For best results, they should be replaced if they become loose or worn.
What type of surfaces are best for these gliders?
They are best suited for smooth, hard surfaces such as hardwood, laminate, tile, and linoleum floors.
Troubleshooting
Glider not sticking well
Ensure the furniture surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Re-apply pressure firmly. For very rough surfaces, consider a different attachment method or product.
Furniture still making noise
Verify that the glider is securely attached and covers the entire base of the furniture leg. Check if the glider material itself has worn down and needs replacement.
Glider came off during use
Clean both the furniture leg and the glider's adhesive side. Reapply with strong, even pressure. For heavier furniture, consider using the larger size strips or reinforcing the attachment.
Glider is too thick and causes instability
Ensure you are using the appropriate thickness for your furniture. If the 5mm thickness is too much, you may need to seek out thinner alternatives or carefully trim the glider if possible.
