Selecting Office Chair Casters For Hard Floors

It’s important that you select the right type of office chair caster for your seat.

As standard, office chairs come fitted with casters for use on carpeted floors and they are generally hard nylon.

For hardwood floors you will need a different type of caster and these are usually soft rubber or polypropylene.

For better quality chairs you can usually specify them when ordering. With an existing office chair try contacting the supplier to see what they recommend, alternatively this site has 13 different types of office chair caster and can probably help.

If all else fails you may need to purchase a chair mat to place under your desk, the cheap clear plastic ones aren’t very good and tend to bubble up with use.

Snapmat offer an excellent range of quality chair mats, they aren’t cheap though but they’ll last for years.
