Tips for mounting, maintaining and choosing glides with or without nails

Below we have compiled a FAQ with frequently asked questions when it comes to glides and furniture sliders. 

How do I mount a glide?

It is easy to mount glides. Glides with and without adaptor ends are mounted by squeezing the sliding shoe around the pipe and are fastened using an adaptor end og just clicking them around the tube. They can be mounted up in pipes or hammered in with nails in wooden legs. Make sure you have the right size of glide, so it doesn't damage the floor. If glide is mounted with screw, please be aware of that the screw disappears into the hole so they are not able to damage the floor.

Does a piece of furniture glide need maintenance?

Over time, the furniture glide wears down due to use. It is therefore important to check for wear and damage. If the furniture glides have worn down a lot, it's time for a replacement so you can continue to take good care of your floors. If glides are with felt, check if it is worn down to avoid damage to the floor. 

Which piece of furniture glide should I choose?

Check your furniture's legs to find out if you need a glide with nail that can be hammered in, a square piece of furniture glide that can be pushed up into the furniture leg, or sliding shoes with angles and different shapes. Make sure that the dimensions of the sliding shoe fit the dimensions of your furniture leg.
