Floor protection seems simple: a few adhesive felt pads or Teflon pads under your chairs and you're done. Yet, these cheap solutions often cause more damage than you think. Time to take a closer look at why felt and Teflon don't deliver what they promise and which smart solution does offer long-term protection for your floor.
Why felt isn't a sustainable choice
Felt is often used to protect chairs and furniture, mainly because it's inexpensive and easy to apply. But appearances can be deceiving: felt wears out quickly, especially on chairs that are frequently moved. After a few weeks, you'll see the first bare patches appear. Moreover, dirt easily accumulates under felt. That dirt rubs against your floor with every movement, resulting in scratches. Moreover, adhesive felt pads come loose quickly, meaning you can unknowingly slide a bare chair leg across your floor, causing a huge amount of damage.
Why teflon isn't a better alternative
Teflon sounds like a better solution, but this material also has drawbacks. The hard, smooth pads slide poorly on hard floors like wood, PVC, or tiles. Instead of protecting, they can leave marks or scratch if dirt gets underneath. Furthermore, the hard material often makes noise. While Teflon lasts longer than felt, it's not kind to your floor.
The smart solution: Durable protection made of dry-walk carpet
Fortunately, there's an alternative that overcomes the drawbacks of both felt and Teflon: floor protectors from Scratch no More. These actually push dirt aside. This prevents dirt from scratching when you move your chairs. Moreover, this material lasts much longer than felt, so you don't have to constantly replace them. This saves time, money, and waste.
Peace, comfort, and protection in one
Good floor protection does more than just prevent scratches. It also creates a more peaceful home. No scraping chairs, no worries about damage, and a floor that stays beautiful longer.
Think sustainable and protect smartly.
If you're serious about protecting your floor, look beyond quick fixes like felt pads or Teflon pads. Scratch no More furniture glides offer not only long-lasting protection but also quietness, comfort, and a neat appearance. A small adjustment that makes a big difference in preserving your floor and your enjoyment of living.
