Hardwood Floor in Kitchen

May 15, 2004 6 Replies

My husband believes kitchen chairs would mark up a hardwood floor if we had one installed in the kitchen. Any comments would be appreciated. Pat


Sure they will...dents, scuffs from dragging them around. So? Floors are meant to be used.

Not as much damage as water

I have hardwood in the dining room with no sign of marks from chairs. I put stick-on felt pads on all the legs.

I used the nail on type..just did not trust the stick on kind.

NEVER FORGET!!!

Whether you use nail-on, screw-on, or self-stick pads, just be sure to use the heavy, quality felt ones; not plastic nor chrome pads. We had no trouble with hardwood in the kitchen. Just make sure the plumbing is up to standard in the kitchen area, as water is wood's greatest enemy, next to grit and dirt.
