I posted this last night but I never saw it come through, and I didn't see any replies, so I think it was lost in space somewhere.
I just got hardwood floors installed in my living room, dining room and hall, and want to know the best floor pad material that protects the floor from chair, table and couch legs. Is it felt? I saw these cute "socks" that fit over the bottoms of dining room chair legs and table legs and bought them but haven't got them yet. I also have a treadmill sort of stuck in my living room because once it got put together it's too hard to move anywhere else. I found a mat that goes under exercise equipment and specifically says it protects hardwood floors.
My question is, is there any material made to protect hardwood that can actually hurt it over time?
