Lounge Seating — Expert Answer
How do I protect hard floors under commercial lounge seating?
Lounge seating on hard floors (hardwood, LVT, polished concrete) can cause scratching, scuffing, and floor finish wear from feet and leg bottoms. Protective measures: (1) Apply felt or rubber non-marking glides to all furniture legs — replace them when worn; (2) Use an area rug under the lounge zone (a 5×8 or 8×10 rug under a sofa and two chairs is typical); (3) For heavy pieces, use furniture cups or casters with floor-rated wheels; (4) Apply floor protector pads under legs when furniture is not being moved. Felt glides work best on smooth floors; rubber glides on textured or uneven surfaces.
