Do stacking chairs damage finished concrete or hardwood floors?

Improperly specified stacking chair glides can scratch and damage polished concrete, hardwood, and luxury vinyl flooring. Metal tips on chair legs scratch any hard surface; hard plastic glides scratch soft finishes. For hardwood and polished concrete floors, felt glides (self-adhesive or screw-on) are the most protective choice — replace them every 6–12 months as they wear. For LVT or vinyl flooring, soft rubber (non-marking) glides are ideal. Some facilities use chair socks (fabric covers for chair legs) as an economical solution. For event venues with premium floor finishes, always verify the glide type on any stacking chair before use.
