22mm Nail Glides – Box of 1000
These 22mm Nail Glides are practical plastic furniture glides designed to be fitted into the base of wooden chair, table and furniture legs.
The nail-in fixing provides a more permanent solution than a self-adhesive pad, making them particularly useful for furniture that is moved regularly, furniture manufacture and general repair work.
Available in Brown or White and supplied in a trade-sized box of 1000 pieces.

Nail-In Glides for Wooden Furniture Feet
These glides are particularly useful when fitting or replacing wooden furniture feet and legs.
The nail fixing is driven into the timber from underneath, leaving the plastic glide between the wooden foot and the floor.
Typical applications include:
- Dining chairs
- Kitchen chairs
- Stools
- Tables
- Cabinets
- Sofas with wooden feet
- Footstools
- Occasional furniture
- New furniture manufacture
- Furniture repair and refurbishment
Livedale stocks a wide selection of Wooden Furniture Feet & Legs for sofas, chairs, footstools and other upholstered furniture.
Adding a suitable glide beneath a wooden foot provides a cleaner finished contact point between the furniture and the floor.
Why Use a Nail-In Furniture Glide?
A nail-in glide is useful where a fixed fitting is preferred to an adhesive pad.
Once correctly installed into sound timber, the nail holds the glide securely in position while the plastic surface becomes the contact point beneath the furniture leg.
This makes them particularly useful for:
- Furniture moved regularly
- Dining and hospitality seating
- Wooden furniture legs
- Trade furniture manufacture
- Upholstery repairs
- Replacement wooden feet
- General furniture refurbishment

How to Fit 22mm Nail Glides
Before fitting, check that the furniture leg or wooden foot is sound and provides sufficient timber for the nail fixing.
To fit:
- Turn or support the furniture safely
- Check the underside of the leg is sound
- Position the glide centrally
- Make sure the complete 22mm glide sits within the footprint of the furniture leg
- Keep the nail straight
- Tap the glide progressively into the timber
- Avoid driving the nail in at an angle
- Make sure the glide finishes flat and secure
- Repeat consistently across all furniture legs
A controlled blow is preferable to excessive force, particularly when working with smaller wooden feet.
For suitable fitting tools, browse Hammers & Mallets.
For smaller fixings and controlled furniture work, the 4oz Hickory Handle Pin Hammer is also worth considering.
For other specialist workshop equipment, browse the complete Upholstery Tools range.
Nail Glide or Felt Nail Glide?
The most suitable glide will depend on the furniture and floor surface.
A plastic nail glide is a straightforward choice where a durable, secure nail-in fitting is required.
Where a softer contact surface is preferred, particularly on wood, laminate or other hard flooring, a felt-based glide may be more appropriate.
Browse Felt & Nail Glides to compare the different options available.
Nail Glide or Self-Adhesive Felt Pad?
Nail glides provide a mechanical fixing directly into the wooden furniture leg.
Self-adhesive pads provide an alternative where driving a nail into the furniture is not appropriate or where a quick stick-on floor protector is preferred.
For those applications, see Self Adhesive Felt Pads.
Ideal for Wooden Furniture Feet
Nail glides and wooden furniture feet naturally work together.
When replacing or manufacturing furniture feet, it is worth deciding how the foot will contact the floor before putting the furniture back into use.
Browse the complete Wooden Furniture Feet & Legs range for alternative furniture feet suitable for sofas, chairs, stools and upholstered furniture.
The range includes Round Wooden Feet, Square Wooden Feet and traditional Queen Anne Legs.
Brown or White Nail Glides
The 22mm Nail Glides are available in:
- Brown
- White
The colour can be selected to complement the furniture foot and make the glide less noticeable when viewed at floor level.
Box of 1000 for Trade & Furniture Manufacture
These 22mm Nail Glides are supplied in a box of 1000 pieces, making them particularly suitable for higher-volume professional use.
Typical users include:
- Professional upholsterers
- Furniture manufacturers
- Chair manufacturers
- Cabinet makers
- Furniture repair workshops
- Contract furniture companies
- Hospitality furniture suppliers
- Maintenance departments
For other furniture components and floor-contact products, browse Feet, Castors & Glides.
Check Before Ordering
Before ordering, check:
- Furniture leg or foot size
- Available timber beneath the leg
- Whether the 22mm glide will sit comfortably within the foot
- Condition of the timber
- Floor surface
- Whether plastic or felt contact is preferred
- Required colour
- Quantity required
For particularly delicate hard flooring, consider whether a felt-based glide would be more appropriate than a plain plastic glide.
If you’re unsure which option is suitable, contact Livedale before ordering.
