Hardwood Floor Protectors: Add Class & Warmth to Any Home

Hardwood flooring adds class and warmth to any home but comes with its own unique maintenance needs to keep the wood looking its best. Daily activity, moving furniture in and out, and the inconvenience of accidental spills can all lead to scratches, dents, and/or stains that can spoil the beauty of your hardwood floors. This is where hardwood floor protectors (also known as felt pads, or floor savers) can provide the necessary protection. Floor protectors act as a barrier between the furniture and the hardwood floor, protecting the surface of your hardwood floor while protecting the finish. Selecting the right type of hardwood floor protection is important for both appearance and functionality.

Hardwood Floor Protectors For Different Furniture

Many different types of furniture can pose a challenge to preserving wooden floors. Dining chairs can pose the biggest risk since they are likely to get moved frequently, so felt pads or plastic glides are appropriate options for preventing scratches and nicks when using the chairs regularly. Sofas and beds may only be moved. It might be better for the sofa feet and bed rails to use rubber or silicone-type protectors, which can help support the additional weight of these types of furniture without causing an indentation in the floor surface.

Desks and cabinets can use a larger and more durable pad to help distribute weight evenly, and in most cases, it is helpful if the pad or protector has rounded edges to help shift the heavier pieces of furniture without scratching the floor.

By evaluating the type of furniture each protector is mounted to the hardwood floor, you are not only protecting the floor but also providing more stability when using the furniture.

Installation Methods

Installing floor protectors is simple, but it must be done with precision. Sheets or rolls should be laid out uniformly and secured at the edges to prevent edge curl or sliding.

For adhesives, it is important to check the manufacturer's process to ensure that the adhesive does not cause residue on the flooring. If joints are overlapping or a protective tape is being used, it is easy to cover the joints completely and have an excellent covering system.

By purchasing high-quality Floor protection for jobsite, project managers, contractors, and property owners can keep their jobsites safe, clean, and the integrity of the flooring.
