Frequently Asked Questions
Are You Looking for Swivel Glides for Chairs?

The Type of Flooring
Do you have smooth or carpeted floors? What about uneven floors? This has an impact on the type of swivel glides you need.
When it comes to carpeted floors, you either need a nylon, plastic, or metal base swivel. This is because these glides have a smooth surface that will easily move across your carpet without pulling any loose threads. A plastic base is often the most affordable out of these three.
If you have hardwood or laminate floors, your best bet is a felt base glide. These are durable, yet soft, meaning they won't end up scratching your floors. Felt bases are generally made out of strong materials that are suitable for heavy use.
What Size Glide Do You Need?
You need a glide that will fit your chair perfectly. If you need a leveling swivel guide, you must figure out the size of the threaded hole so you can get a slide that will screw in securely.
When using a cap, find the width of the chair leg by measuring its diameter (dia). As long as you know the base diameter, you should be able to find the correct size glide.
Types of Swivel Glides for Chairs
It's crucial to know what type of glide you need. Fortunately, you can find this out quite easily. All you need to do is flip over your chair and look at the bottom of the glide. You can use leveling glides to screw into the bottom of the angled legs if there is a threaded hole.
However, use nail-on glides for wooden chair legs.
Is your chair neither of these two options? Try a glide cap that can easily snap on the chair leg. This normally latches on quite securely.
Why Should You Use a Swivel Glide for Smooth or Carpeted Floors?
Do you still need some convincing as to why you need our swivel glides? Here are a few reasons why our products are the best on the market:
- They protect your floors, including hard-surface floors such as tiles and hardwood
- The user-friendly design helps it stay on your chairs securely
- You can also use these products on stools, tables, or chairs with angled legs
- The swivel helps the glide to stay flat on the floor.
A lot of these glides can be used on very popular furniture manufacturers such as Carter Craft, American Desk, and Artco Bell.
