Quick Step Floating flooring

Posted 630 days ago

Quick Step Floating flooring

We are getting quick step floating flooring put down next week in the lounge halls kitchen and dining rooms.
We are going to put felt under all legs of chairs and any areas which could cause damage from movement.
Is there a better product which we could use for under chairs and table legs which would stay on chairs which are constantly moved?
I know there are plastic cups which fit up and around the legs is this way to go.
What did you use that works to protect the flooring from being damaged.
Thanks
Ray

We just use those stick-on skid-protectors. Packet of various sizes for $2 at the "junk shop". Stay away from the plastic cup types of things. Hope this helps a bit.

Should have mentioned... the felt ones, not the rubber ones. Makes heavy furniture easy to move; just slide rather than lift.

I found I had to put non slip wads under the couch, as it would slide around, and change them every few months. I glued some tough & soft material under our chairs, I think it was Indian cotton. It stayed on the wooden chairs better than the pre glued things Hutcho mentioned.

I have 3 small children and things are always dragged around in my house, I have been really happy with our floating floors, and they have really stood up to everything my kids could throw at them.... except that cricket ball sized granite rock....
