Floor Protection for Furniture, Chairs and Commercial Facilities
Furniture that moves across a floor every day can gradually create scratches, scuffs, gouges and other damage. Expanded Technologies develops floor protection products that create a protective interface between furniture and the floor, helping facilities protect finished flooring while reducing the effects of everyday movement.
UnoClean offers a selection of Expanded Technologies products for chairs, tables, desks, cabinets, appliances and other furniture. Solutions are available for many common hard flooring surfaces as well as carpet, with different designs for furniture legs, glides, casters and sled-base furniture.
Protect the Floor Where the Movement Happens
From adhesive felt pads on chair legs to furniture sliders and floor-saving caster products, the right protector can help minimize the damage caused by repeated furniture movement and make routine facility maintenance easier.
Floor Protection for Different Flooring Surfaces
The right furniture protector depends on both the furniture and the flooring underneath it. Expanded Technologies offers products designed for a variety of common floor surfaces, including hard floors and carpet.
Hard Floors
Use appropriate felt pads, Floor Savers® and furniture-leg protectors to help protect hardwood, vinyl, LVT, VCT, linoleum, ceramic tile and finished concrete from furniture movement.
Carpet
Furniture sliders and specialized floor-saving products can help reduce carpet snagging and tearing while making furniture easier to move.
Mixed Flooring
Facilities with multiple floor types can select different protector styles for specific furniture, rooms and flooring surfaces rather than using one solution throughout the building.
Choose the Right Expanded Technologies Floor Protector
1. Identify the Furniture or Equipment
Determine whether you are protecting a chair, table, desk, cabinet, appliance, caster, sled-base chair or another piece of furniture.
2. Check the Floor Surface
Consider whether the product will be used on hardwood, vinyl, LVT, VCT, linoleum, ceramic tile, finished concrete, carpet or another flooring surface.
3. Measure the Furniture Leg or Glide
Furniture protectors are available in different sizes and configurations. Measure the furniture leg, glide or caster when necessary to ensure the protector fits properly.
4. Choose Adhesive or Non-Adhesive Protection
Adhesive felt pads attach directly to furniture, while sleeve-style, slip-on and other designs can provide protection without relying on an adhesive backing.
5. Consider How the Furniture Moves
Furniture that is frequently pulled, pushed or repositioned may require a different protector than stationary furniture. Select the product according to the movement and application.
Floor Protection for Commercial & Institutional Facilities
Expanded Technologies floor protection products can be used in environments where furniture is moved repeatedly throughout the day. Schools, offices, restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities and other commercial environments can use furniture floor protectors to help reduce routine floor wear.
Schools
Protect classroom floors beneath desks, chairs, stools and other frequently moved furniture while helping reduce noise from furniture movement.
Restaurants & Hospitality
Protect dining and hospitality flooring from repeated chair and table movement in high-use areas.
Offices & Healthcare
Use furniture protectors on desks, chairs, cabinets and other equipment to help maintain flooring in busy professional environments.
Why Protect Your Floors?
Replacing or refinishing flooring can be expensive and disruptive. Furniture floor protectors provide a relatively simple way to reduce damage caused by everyday movement. The right product can also reduce friction, noise and wear associated with repeatedly moving chairs, tables and other furniture.
