chair sliders

Two main types: nail-on sliders (nylon pad attached with a stainless-steel nail) and self-adhesive mover pads (PTFE glide surface bonded to an EVA foam adhesive).

Common materials include nylon (used for many nail-on pad surfaces), PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) for smooth, low-friction glide surfaces, EVA foam (used as the adhesive backing on self-adhesive pads), various plastics for some adhesive pads, and stainless steel for the nail in nail-on sliders.

Common pad sizes include 0.7", 0.9", 1.0", 1.1", 1.2", and 1.6" (length/width reported). Typical package counts are 8, 20, 24, and 40 pieces.

Clean and dry the furniture surface, peel off the protective film, place the adhesive (foam) side onto the furniture, press firmly to bond, and let the pad sit overnight to allow the adhesive to fully adhere.

Pre-drill pilot holes rather than hammering the slider directly to avoid damage and splitting. Avoid hammering the slider body; drive the nail by striking the nail head. Keep nail-on sliders out of reach of children because of the pointed nail.

Let adhesive sliders sit overnight after installation to allow the glue to bond fully.
