It seems like a good idea: using teflon furniture glides under your chair legs to protect the floor. They last much longer than chair felt pads because teflon chair glides are sturdier. Unfortunately, teflon chair glides do not offer adequate floor protection. Additionally, these glides make noise when you slide the chair.

Teflon Chair Glides Still Cause Scratches

The main disadvantage of teflon furniture glides is that hard glides on a soft floor do not work. Dirt gets trapped between the hard teflon glide and the floor, pressing it into the floor when you move the chair, creating a sanding effect. This leads to scratches despite having chair glides in place.

Wear of the Glide Causes Black Marks

Many teflon chair glides only have a thin layer of teflon. The interior is often rubber. When the glide wears down, the rubber may show through. Sliding chairs with worn teflon glides can leave black marks on the floor.

Teflon Chair Glides Make Noise

Another problem with teflon chair glides is that they make a lot of noise when moving. After all, it's a hard glide on a hard floor. Sliding chairs fitted with teflon glides can become quite noisy and unpleasant.

Choose Glides That Actually Work

Fortunately, there is a better alternative to teflon chair glides. Scratch no More glides are equipped with polyamide fibres. These fibres prevent dirt, such as sand, from pressing into the floor, unlike teflon glides. Instead, they sweep away the dirt. This makes Scratch no More, unlike teflon chair glides, guaranteed scratch-free. Additionally, these glides are highly durable. Finally, the fibres provide sound dampening, eliminating noise when moving the chair.
