Why Classroom Chairs Damage School Floors
School floors take a lot of daily wear from classroom chairs moving back and forth across hard surfaces. Over time, that repeated movement can leave behind scratches, scuffs, and visible floor wear.
One of the best ways to protect school floors is to use chair floor protection products such as DuraGlides, new precut tennis balls, or recycled precut tennis balls.
