Gliding nails and felt glides, what's what?
If you want to protect PVC floors, laminate floors, tiled floors, linoleum floors, or wooden floors from scratches and streaks caused by furniture with wooden legs, such as sofas or (dining) chairs, then gliding nails or felt glides can provide the ideal floor protection you're looking for. As the name (nails) suggests, the vast majority of variants are easy to attach by hammering them into the wood. Only the felt glide and Teflon glide also come in a screw-on variant.
Because the bottom of the leg is made of 'end grain' wood, and the felt dampens the impact of the hammer, there is a risk that the felt glide cannot be hammered in properly. For this reason, a variant with a screw has been developed. The screw has more grip in end-grain wood and can be attached more securely to the leg, so it will remain stably mounted to the leg for longer.
