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. Each lettered description here will match a lettered
box further down this page. Click on the corresponding pictures in the boxes A,
B, C, D & E to get detailed information on that product.
A.
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.
B. The Black Hooded Twin Wheel
Caster is available with 50mm Polyurethane Wheels. This caster will work well
on either hard floor surfaces or short pile carpet. It will not mark or scratch
any hardwood floors.
C.

choice. Available with 2" wheels ( 50mm ), 2 3/8" wheels ( 60mm) and 3" wheels
( 75mm ). The soft rubber wheels neither scratch nor mark hard wood floors.
Available in All Black or Two Tone Gray.
D.
The Twin Wheel series offers a sturdy metal body with soft
polyurethane wheels. These casters work well on both hard wood and carpeted
floor surfaces. You can choose from 4 distinct hood finishes in both 50mm or
60mm wheel diameters.
E.
The Elite series offers both soft rubber wheels for hardwood floors
and a stylish polyurethane wheel which can be used on either hardwood floors or
carpeting. The soft rubber wheel is available in both 2" and 3" diameters.
Although we do not recommend any caster for a SOFT wood floor such as Pine, the
Elite series with it's extra soft rubber wheels has been used successfully on
SOFT wood floors.
Scroll down the page and choose your favorite. The
most important thing is to make sure that the stem of the caster will FIT your
chair. The stem type and size are critical. All of the casters on this page
have 7/16" Diameter Grip Ring Stems. Click
on the link below to learn how to correctly measure your stem so your
replacement casters will fit perfectly.
Some casters on this page are sold
in both 50mm and 60mm sizes. This is a comparison between the two different
sizes. Casters on most chairs and furniture have 50mm wheels and work fine for
most applications. If you require additional capacity or are going to roll on
carpet, you may want to consider the 60mm size.
Chair Caster
Selection
If your weight is between 350
lbs and 500 lbs, our Mr. Big Caster may be your best choice. It only comes with
nylon wheels and will require a thick mat to protect wood floors. Nylon wheels
are the best material when rolling directly on carpet but carpet wear can not
be avoided. For more information, and to order, click

This chart is designed to help you select a Chair
Caster. We take into consideration the weight of the person and the floor
surface that the wheel will roll on. We also give you our "Opinion" on "Easy
Rolling". Easy Rolling is a subjective label determined by "OUR" experience.
You may come to a different conclusion.

Elite Chair
Casters
If your weight exceeds 200 lbs,
we suggest you consider using casters with at least 3" diameter wheels. 3"
diameter wheels roll easier than 2" diameter wheels. Polyurethane and Soft
Rubber wheels are floor protective. Polyurethane rolls easier but is less
resilient.
We believe these are
the finest chair casters ever made. They will protect and roll easily on hard
floor surfaces.
Please read the Features & Benefits below before
selecting a Chair Caster:
Designed for frequent movement on an Executive or
Clerical chair.
Grip Ring Stem size is 7/16"
Diameter x 7/8" Long
Soft rubber wheels will protect
any hard floor surface: hardwood, ceramic tile, marble, cement or extra thick
plastic mats.
Select polyurethane for carpet
or hard floors.
The Crown Tread on the wheels enhance the ability to
swivel or change direction.
Precision sealed ball bearing in the wheel provides easy
rolling and never needs maintenance.
The swivel bearing has two heat treated raceways for easy
swiveling and long caster life.
Bright chrome finish gives a clean, elegant
appearance.
The Black Extra Soft Rubber wheels are available in 2" or
3" diameter and provide an extra cushion ride.
Gray Soft Rubber wheels are available in 2" or 3"
diameter and are recommended for hard floors.
Polyurethane wheels are available in 2" and 3" diameter.
2" are recommended only for hard floor surfaces. 3" polyurethane wheels can be
used on either hard floors or carpet.
We do not warrant any wheel for
a SOFT WOOD Floor. However, in many instances the Elite Caster with a Black
Extra Soft Rubber wheel has performed without harming the soft wood.
