6.1 Which glides do I need for my furniture?
Use our buying guide to determine which glides are best suited for your furniture. If you'd rather consult one of our employees, send a photo of your furniture leg through WhatsApp (click here) or email info@scratchnomore.co.uk
6.2 How is it possible that Scratch no More guarantees that the floor remains undamaged with their furniture glides?
Our furniture glide systems are equipped with durable polyamide fibers. This way, dirt, like sand, is absorbed by the fibers when a chair or another piece of furniture is moved across the floor.
6.3 What's the difference between Scratch no More and other furniture glides?
Our furniture glide systems are equipped with durable polyamide fibers. This way, dirt, like sand, is absorbed by the fibers when a chair or another piece of furniture is moved across the floor. With hard glides, like felt and Teflon, the dirt gets in between the glide and the floor. This creates a sandpaper effect, causing all kinds of damage to your precious floor.
6.4 Which glides do I need for the 'brand/model name chair'?
There are many different models of chairs. Therefore, we cannot determine which product is needed based on a brand or model of chair. The best way to determine that is by sending us photos along with the necessary dimensions of the chair leg if you're unsure.
6.5 I can't remove the old caps/glides; what now?
Usually, old caps can almost always be removed from the chair leg. You can use a flathead screwdriver, for example, to pry the cap loose. If this doesn't work, it's best to contact our customer service for assistance
6.6 Are Scratch No More glides also suited for outdoor use?
Our products can be used outdoors. However, please note that the glides may wear out more quickly due to the presence of more dirt and rougher surfaces.
6.7 What is the difference between the Footfixx Hollow and the Footfixx Hollow 3.0?
The glide foot of the Footfixx Hollow 3.0 cannot be removed by hand, which prevents unauthorized removal. This makes it more suitable for stacking chairs in canteens, schools, or other shared spaces.
6.8 Should I choose a 28 mm or 34 mm glide foot for my Footfixx products?
A larger glide surface of 34 mm makes it easier for the furniture to slide. A 28 mm diameter glide is often considered more aesthetically pleasing for narrower legs.
6.9 What is the difference between the Footfixx Wood and the Footclick 2?
Footclick 2: With the Footclick 2, the furniture leg must have a diameter that is at least as large as the diameter of the glide. The Footclick 2 must always fit within the leg. Additionally, the leg must stand perpendicular to the floor. The furniture will raise up to a maximum of 12 mm with the Footclick 2.
Footfixx Wood: The Footfixx Wood can be used under all wooden legs that are perpendicular to the floor. Unlike the Footclick 2, the Footfixx Wood can correct itself slightly, which is useful for floors with large gaps, for example. Additionally, the Footfixx Wood is suitable for narrower legs because the base part is only 14 mm wide. The furniture will raise up to a maximum of 17 mm.
6.10 What is the difference between the Footfixx Wood and the Footfixx Wood 3.0?
The Footfixx Wood 3.0 can correct itself up to an angle of 30 degrees. Therefore, this glide is also suited for angled legs. With the Footfixx Wood 3.0, the furniture will be raised by 20 mm.
6.11 How come the glides lose some of their polyamide fibers?
It could occur that some polyamide fibers are found in the packaging or emerge from under the glides they're in use. This issue is nothing to worry about. It indicates that the fibers are pressed very tightly together. This technique creates a soft and thick carpet cushion between the chair leg and the floor. When cutting the carpet tiles, the fibers along the edges are trimmed. These fibers might come loose. Even though we filter out the vast majority of loose fibers during the production process, some remnants may still remain. Fortunately, this situation has no impact on the functionality and lifespan of the glides.
6.12 Are the glides suitable for very rough tiles?
Our glides reliably protect even very rough tiles from scratches and marks. In addition, chairs equipped with our furniture glides glide more easily on very rough tiles compared to, for example, felt, making them easier to move. However, it is possible that the glides may wear out more quickly on very rough surfaces. We always recommend using the largest glide foot for a rougher floor.
6.13 What's the difference between an outdoor and indoor mat?
Our outdoor doormat ensures that the most coarse dirt is removed from your shoe soles. An outdoor mat is, of course, resistant to all weather conditions. Besides scraping off the fine dirt, our indoor doormat absorbs the moisture from your shoe soles. This way, you will enter your floor with clean and dry shoes. So you could say that the indoor and outdoor doormat complement each other wonderfully
6.14 Why do you sell felt strips if you don’t recommend felt?
We offer felt strips as an option for those who prefer them or for situations where our furniture glides are not suitable. While we do not recommend felt for rough or high-traffic surfaces due to its tendency to wear out quickly and provide less reliable protection, felt strips can still be a suitable solution for furniture that you don’t move much, like closets or beds.
6.15 What is the diameter of the pin on the chairfixx?
The 11 mm and 12 mm sizes have a pin with a diameter of 6 mm. All other sizes have a pin with a diameter of 5 mm.
6.16 The diameter of my tube does not match your Chairfixx sizes; what should I do?
Always measure the diameter of your tube with a calliper, as this is the most accurate way to determine the diameter. If the diameter still does not match, choose the next available size of Chairfixx and order the 1 mm thick foam tape to go with it. This procedure will help bridge the size difference.
6.17 I want to use your caster wheels on my dining chairs. Is this possible?
Before placing an order, always contact our customer service first and send us a photo of your chair. Based on this, we will review and see if we have a suitable solution.
6.18 What is the difference between the Footfixx Threaded and the Threadfixx?
The Threadfixx is an adjustable furniture glide for legs with threaded ends that are flat relative to the floor and is often used as an adjustable foot for desks. The Threadfixx consists of one piece and does not have a separate glide foot.
The Footfixx Threaded, on the other hand, has a removable glide foot and can correct up to an angle of 30 degrees. It is commonly used under chairs.
