How the design compares

DuraGlides vs. adhesive felt pads

Both put felt between a chair and a floor. The big difference is how the felt is attached and how the product fits the chair.

FeatureDuraGlidesTypical peel-and-stick felt pad
How it stays onSnap-on housing around compatible chair baseAdhesive applied to chair-foot bottom
Felt attachmentIndustrial-strength felt molded into glideFelt pad depends on an adhesive layer
InstallationSnap onto suitable chair basePrepare surface, peel backing and adhere
AppearanceLow-profile gray housingOften nearly invisible at first, depending on pad
Potential concernCorrect base size and shape are essentialAdhesive may loosen or peel during repeated movement
Important: No chair glide lasts forever under every condition. Correct fit, chair condition and floor type all influence performance. DuraGlides are designed to avoid relying on the adhesive attachment used by simple felt stickers.
The structural difference

The felt isn't an afterthought.

With DuraGlides, the felt and plastic housing form a purpose-built glide assembly. This removes the need to stick a separate felt pad directly to the chair leg.
