But what if the chair ends up on a hard surface such as hardwood, linoleum, tile, concrete, etc. If this happens, the hard caster wheels will scratch or permanently damage your expensive hardwood, linoleum or tile floors.
The solution is to replace the hard caster wheels with these polyurethane caster wheels. The softer polyurethane material will prevent the wheels from scratching the hard floor while allowing the wheels to roll smoothly. Besides cosmetic, safety is another reason why polyurethane caster wheel should be used on hard flooring. Polyurethane provides better traction on hard floor thus reduce the chance of accidental slipping. Easy installation, just pull out the old caster wheels and snap these polyurethane caster wheels into place. For optimum performance, all five caster wheels should be installed. Mixing different types of wheels may cause uneven rolling. Rolland (TM) polyurethane caster wheels are tested to the industry ANSI/BIFMA safety standard.

The Soft Tread Casters offered by Nu-Source are perfect for hard surface floors, such as hardwood, laminate, ceramic, marble, stone and cement.
Because they have a soft polyurethane tread, they help to protect your floors from marks and scratches while minimizing noise. You don’t even need a chair mat! These Soft Tread Casters feature a twin wheel design with a grip ring stem for easy installation. Simply remove the old caster and push the Soft Tread Caster stem into the mounting hole in the base. While their most common use is in office chairs, these Soft Tread Casters offer easier and smoother mobility than traditional plastic casters and can be used in store fixtures, display units, office equipment, utility carts, and much more! The Soft Tread Casters are black in color and can support a maximum weight of 75lbs (34kg) per caster, for a total of 375lbs (170kg) when all 5 casters are used. The casters have 360 degree rotation and a plastic hood to protect the wheels from any debris that could fall into them, disrupting their motion. Each of the twin wheels has a 2 inch (5cm) diameter. The stainless steel stem is approximately 7/8 inch (22mm) long with a 7/16 inch (11mm) diameter, and features a thick ring around the bottom to keep your chair/furniture from getting too close to the wheel.
Each package contains 5 casters. Not suitable for cork floors. For best results, please ensure that the floor is clean and free from any dust and debris, as this can cause damage to both the casters and your floors. Always consult your flooring manufacturer’s guidelines for compatibility prior to usage. 2.2 x 1.8 x 3.4 inches 4.2 out of 5 stars #20,242 in Home and Garden (See top 100) #136 in Office Products > Office Furniture & Accessories > Furniture Accessories > Casters 1.1 pounds (View shipping rates and policies) 5 star70%4 star15%3 star4%2 star2%1 star9%See all verified purchase reviewsTop Customer Reviews2 years on Pergo floor - NO scratches, work great - UPDATEDUnsatisfactory performanceThese DO protect flooringBest way to protect floor!When your old chair needs new wheelsgreat castersGreat casters on wood floorsthese are just regular casters, offer no protection for hardwood floors Learn more about Amazon Giveaway My wife's office has solid hickory hardwood floors, and I'd like to protect the floor from her rolling office chair.
What can be done to protect the floor? Should I even be concerned about the chair damaging the floor? In two old homes now I've shredded the wood floor under my chair, monster splinters eventually emerging. I work at home in semi-rural New Hampshire. I think they're very old pine floors, so softwood. I plan to try Shepherd Brand Urethane Casters after putty and repainting. From the manufacturer's site, "Nylon tread for carpeting, and urethane tread for hard floors." Much buzz on Amazon about these. Edit: After months with the new casters there are no new paint flakes or splinters. I haven't repainted the floor yet, but it appears these casters will do the trick. Replacing your chair's casters can help. Most chairs come with hard nylon casters, but softer rubber/polyurethane/neoprene casters are less likely to scratch or damage your floor. I live in a house full of wood floors (engineered hardwood). If the floors are kept clean and the wheels of the chair also are kept clean, every little damage will ever happen to your floors.
If your floors are perfectly smooth and any imperfection will bother you, I do recommend either a low pile or woven rug under the desk and chair. I say this, because if some sand or small rock gets between the chair caster and the floor it will mark it. You can always fill the small imperfection but a rug is a small insurance plan for that area of floor. I was initially worried about this, but I've had my office chair on hardwood for about 2 years without issue, with generally at least an hour to 4 hours use every day (and more when I occasionally work from home). It's a pretty typical chair with fairly hard plastic castors. I would either get some sort of "mat" or area rug. There are some plastic mats that are sold without the plastic spikes. There are also 'floating vinyls" or fiber floors that come in rolls (often at Home Depot) and they can just go on top of floor without adhesive. You can cut them to size. Usually, their weight holds them down. I would not use a plastic mat, as I did because a tiny piece of something got under it and I must have rolled over it a dozen times and it left a bunch of annoying marks in my beautiful hardwood floor.
I would use some sort of sacrificial mat, either a pre-made mat or a section of some laminate flooring material to cover the area that you will be using the chair. Of course I have bamboo floors so it blends in. The trouble is, no matter what you put down there, if it's a sunny room, your floor will age unevenly. I had one of those clear plastic mats down and when I removed it after a couple of years, a huge light spot was left behind. I have recently refinished the floor in this room and I'm reluctant to put anything down on the new floor--though maybe with the modern tools & chemicals it's fade-proof I don't know. But I think I have to expect some change of color over time. It's a very sunny room. Kept hoping I'd find something like casters with felt coated wheels. I had no luck. Maybe I should invent such a thing, Lol. Bet they'd sell well. My office chair is also terribly loud rolling across the floor. If you're really really into a solution here, you want a Flexible Glass Chair Mat.
