Description
Brown 20mm Nail Glide with Felt
The Brown 20mm Nail Glide with Felt is a practical furniture floor protector designed to be fitted securely into the underside of wooden chair, table and furniture legs.
Unlike a plain plastic glide, this version has a felt contact surface, helping prevent the exposed plastic from touching the floor and reducing the risk of movement marks. It combines the security of a mechanical nail-in fixing with the softer contact provided by felt.
Supplied in a box of 100 pieces, it is suitable for both furniture repair and professional workshop use.

Felt Nail Glides for Wooden Furniture Legs
These 20mm glides are particularly useful on wooden furniture where a securely fixed felt pad is preferred to a self-adhesive alternative.
Typical applications include:
- Dining chairs
- Kitchen chairs
- Stools
- Tables
- Footstools
- Occasional furniture
- Wooden furniture feet
- Furniture repair and refurbishment
- New furniture manufacture
The nail fixing holds the glide securely within suitable timber, while the felt provides the contact point between the furniture and the floor.

Why Choose a Felt Nail Glide?
A felt nail glide combines two useful features:
Mechanical fixing – the glide is physically secured into the wooden furniture leg rather than relying on adhesive.
Felt contact surface – the felt sits between the furniture and flooring, helping reduce marking and scuffing.
This makes felt nail glides particularly useful for furniture that is moved regularly but where a softer contact surface is preferred.

How to Fit a 20mm Felt Nail Glide
Before fitting, check that the furniture leg provides sufficient sound timber for the nail fixing.
To fit:
- Support or turn the furniture safely
- Check the underside of the furniture leg
- Position the glide centrally
- Make sure the full 20mm glide sits within the footprint of the 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 against the furniture leg
- Check all glides are secure before putting the furniture back into use

Felt Nail Glide or Plastic Nail Glide?
The main difference is the surface that contacts the floor.
Choose this 20mm Felt Nail Glide where:
- A softer floor-contact surface is preferred
- Protecting hard flooring is a priority
- A secure nail-in fitting is required
- Furniture is moved regularly
- An adhesive pad may not stay securely in place
For a straightforward plastic contact surface, see the 22mm Nail Glides.
The 22mm version is particularly suited to general furniture manufacture and high-volume trade use, whereas this product is focused more strongly on felt floor protection.
Felt Nail Glide or Self-Adhesive Felt Pad?
Both provide a felt contact surface, but the fitting method is different.
This product is nailed into the timber, providing a mechanical fixing.
Self Adhesive Felt Pads stick directly to the underside of the furniture and require no nail or prong fixing.
Choose the nail-in version where a more permanent fixing into suitable wooden furniture is preferred.
Choose self-adhesive pads where:
- Driving a nail into the furniture is unsuitable
- A quick stick-on solution is preferred
- The furniture construction will not accept a nail fixing
Felt Nail Glides or Domes of Silence?
The 3 Prong 18mm Domes of Silence and 3 Prong 24mm Domes of Silence provide another mechanically fixed furniture glide option.
Choose the 20mm Felt Nail Glide where the softer felt floor-contact surface is the priority.
Choose Domes of Silence where reducing noise from chairs and furniture being moved is particularly important.
This gives each product a clear purpose rather than treating them simply as different sizes of the same glide.
Ideal for Wooden Furniture Feet
Felt nail glides are a natural addition when fitting replacement wooden furniture feet.
The glide provides a dedicated floor-contact surface beneath the timber and can be fitted before the furniture is returned to use.
