When choosing the right wheels for your office chair, it’s important to consider the type of flooring your chair will be used on. Here is an overview of the different types of wheels and what they are best suited for.

​

Wheels for hard floors

​

Wheels designed for hard floors, such as wood, tiles, or laminate, typically have a soft outer layer, often made of materials like rubber or polyurethane. These wheels, also known as soft casters, are designed to protect your floor from scratches and wear while providing enough grip for smooth movement. You can often recognize these wheels by their grey edge.

​

Soft casters provide the right balance between mobility and protection. They prevent damage to your floor, which is especially important for delicate surfaces like parquet. Additionally, they ensure a quiet and smooth movement of your office chair.

​

Wheels for carpet

​

If your office chair is used on carpet, hard wheels, or hard casters, are the best choice. These wheels are usually made from sturdy materials like nylon or hard plastic, allowing them to roll easily over carpet fibers without getting stuck. Hard wheels are typically black, making them easily recognizable.

​

Hard casters offer excellent mobility on soft surfaces like carpet. They prevent the wheels from getting stuck in the carpet and allow your chair to glide smoothly over it. This makes working more comfortable, especially if you move around a lot during your work.

​

Can I change the wheels later?

​

Yes, the wheels on your office chair can be easily replaced, which is convenient if you move to a space with a different type of floor or if your wheels become defective. The wheels can be easily removed from the base and replaced with another type that better suits your floor.
