Chair & Furniture Casters for Hardwood Floors

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. The wheels on our furniture 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, C, D & E to get detailed information on that product.
A.   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.   The Black Oxide Caster has a ball bearing swivel and a Non-Marking dark gray soft rubber wheel. It is recommended for any hard floor surface such as hardwood, ceramic tile, marble, cement, extra thick plastic mats. The wheel is 2″ x 3/4″ wide. The metal body has a black oxide finish.
D.    The Casters with Twin Soft Rubber Wheels are a popular choice. They are available with 2″ wheels ( 50mm ), 2 3/8″ wheels ( 60mm) and 3″ wheels ( 75mm ). The soft rubber wheels neither scratch nor mark hard wood or any hard floor surface. Available in Black or Two Tone Gray.
E.   The Chrome Caster, our 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.

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 here.
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.

We do not recommend any wheel to roll on soft wood, cork, or hard wood with a rating below 1360 on the Janka Scale. Casters with soft rubber wheels provide the best floor protection for hard wood floors. "Engineered" hard wood flooring has a thin wood veneer bonded to a substrate material. We recommend that the hard wood veneer be at least 1/4" thick if the caster wheel is soft rubber, and 1/2" thick if the caster wheel is polyurethane. We advise that you consult with the manufacturer of the flooring before using casters on their product. We can not guarantee that the substrate of "Engineered" flooring will not compress. All that we warranty is the construction and quality of our casters.

Match the colored boxes to the different casters as you scroll down this page.

Elite Chrome Casters with Rubber & Polyurethane Tires
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.
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.
