Many home owners and businesses are tearing out carpeting and
installing wood floors. To protect these floors you need to use a soft wheel.
Although most recommendations are for a soft rubber wheel on hardwood, a soft
polyurethane caster wheel can also be used on hardwood floors. Most of the
office chairs that are manufactured today come with twin wheel nylon casters.
This type of caster, specifically the nylon wheel, can be used on carpeting but
it will mark and scratch all wood floors. It happens because the nylon wheels
don't roll, they slide. When they slide, they mark or scratch the floor. Our
selection of hard wood chair casters is the ideal solution for this problem.
The wheels on our chair casters for hardwood floors will not mark or scratch
the floors.
Our selection offers 5 different
styles to fit most decors;
- Chair Caster with Gray Soft Rubber Wheel is recommended for any
hard floor surface: hardwood, ceramic tile, marble, cement, extra thick plastic
mats. It has a 2" x 3/4" Non-marking gray soft rubber wheel.
- The all black unhooded twin wheel caster is designed around a
nylon body. Available with either 50mm or 60mm polyurethane wheels, this caster

popular choice. Available with 2" wheels ( 50mm ) and 3" wheels ( 75mm ). The
