Wood flooring protection
I'm looking to put engineered wood flooring down in my dining room. I
realise that the usual protection for this type of floor are self-adhesive felt pads where there are 'point' contacts. I have a problem in that my dining chairs are tubular framed, and have quite long contact areas. Each chair has two twin central supports, one of each pair bends and projects forward into a stub end about 150mm long, the second of each pair bends into a long continuous loop on the floor but across the back of the chair. Tube diameter is 19mm. Felt pads aren't really going to work very well with this arrangement, and I wondered if anyone had come across a clip-on style nylon foot. I've googled in vain. Alternatively, any recommendations for a supplier of nylon sleeving or tubing that could be cut into shorter pieces, say 25mm or so, and split and clipped onto the tubing to give the necessary protection. Any thoughts also on the type of sleeving? I say nylon, but I'm sure there are other plastics better suited to the job. Colourwise, I'm looking for clear or the milky white of nylon. -- the dot wanderer at tesco dot net |
