Dining chairs are designed to protect hardwood or tile floors from scratches caused by movement through various mechanisms:
Chair leg materials: Many dining chairs are designed with legs made of materials that are less likely to scratch or damage the floor surface. Common leg materials include wood, metal, plastic, or rubber. These materials are chosen for their durability and ability to glide smoothly across the floor.
Leg protectors: Manufacturers often attach leg protectors or glides to the bottom of chair legs. These protectors can be made of rubber, felt, or nylon and provide a cushioned surface that ensures smooth movement while minimizing the risk of floor damage. They are typically affixed securely to the legs and may even feature adjustable heights to accommodate different floor types.

Felt pads: Another commonly used protection mechanism is the addition of felt pads to the bottom of chair legs. These pads are usually self-adhesive and can be easily attached and replaced as needed. Felt pads create a soft barrier between the chair leg and the floor surface, preventing scratches and minimizing noise when moving the chairs.
Chair design: The overall design of the dining chair can also play a role in protecting the floor. Chairs with wider and flatter leg bases distribute the weight more evenly, reducing the chances of the legs sinking into the floor or causing indentations. Additionally, chairs with curved leg designs or rounded edges are less likely to scratch the floor if accidentally bumped or moved.
Proper maintenance: While not directly related to the design of the chair, proper maintenance can help prevent floor damage. Regularly cleaning the chair legs, removing any debris or dirt, and ensuring they are free from any sharp edges or rough surfaces is important. Also, periodically check the leg protectors, glides, or felt pads to ensure they are securely attached and functioning correctly.
