Placing Furniture on Hardwood Floors

Furniture and appliances may cause indentations in hardwood flooring unless proper rests, glides or casters are used. Metal caps and furniture rests with small, narrow load-bearing surfaces should be replaced with wide protective load-bearing devices.

Types of Load

Recommended Protection

Heavy or seldom moved furniture or appliances

Glass or hard plastic caps with a minimum of 1.5 sq. inch load-bearing surface

Frequently moved furniture

2"diameter casters with soft, non-staining 3/4" rubber edges and easy ball-bearing swiveling action

Light furniture

1.5" to 2" glides with smooth, flat bases, rounded edges and a flexible pin to maintain floor contact

Maximum recommended stationary load is 75 Ibs. per sq. inch for hardwood flooring. When moving heavy furniture or appliances, place plywood or hardwood panels on the floor and "walk" the objects across the panels. Carpet sample remnants can also be used. Never slide furniture or appliances on a hardwood floor.
