Putting under rocking chair to keep from sliding on hardwood floors. Does this tape have an abrasive mixed in rubber that might damage wood floors?

I just went and felt the tape I put on my basement stairs (a couple years ago now). It's like there are little granules/grit sprinkled throughout, but they're beneath a sort of coating of soft polymer. (I've noted before how it doesn't even feel uncomfortable to bare feet as you go quickly down the stairs, and I guess that's why.) I have wood floors myself, and I'd be comfortable trying what you said, though I'd make a note to check after 6 months or so to see if that coating wears off and exposes the granules/grit, which then might be abrasive to the floors. You're putting a lot of concentrated weight on the bottom rails of a rocking chair, so it might wear off faster than just people walking down stairs.

I stuck it to the bottom of my rocking chair. It's sticky on one side and the other side is fabric padded.

I have not noticed any damage so far. Due to the rubber cover, it actually prevents the scratching of wooden floors, and it does not affect carpets. Now, that depends on how much you use the Ab Carver. In time, you may see traces on wood surfaces, but only if you use everytime the same segmentnof the floor. I hope my answer was relevant.

No, it doesn't slide on our wood floor. I have the two sides flush against the desk with the center piece that goes under the desk. Then there is the heavy rolling chair on it. I roll across it a lot to reach different areas and have not had it slide at all.

If you mean, if the chair sleep on the floor: my chair is on hardwood floor and I don't have any problems, that the chair slips.

The rubber is soft & pliable. We have hardwood floors & they did not leave any marks.

I agree with Joey... I would cancel your purchase of this chair if I were you. The hydraulics went within a few weeks, the material scratches really easily, and all the side screw covers didn't fit in properly. To answer your question, I use mine on a hardwood floor and it doesn't seem to have caused any damage to it.

i don't have a problem sliding chairs along the floor with these little booties on the feet of each chair. and i have heavy wrought iron chairs, and i have hardwood floors. i L.O.V.E. these things. they're sooo much better than those silly stick on felt covered discs (which, btw, never stayed on in the 1st place). i even have them on my bathroom stool, so my marble floor doesn't get scratched.

I have never tried to use this tape on wood, but I think it can work as well. And it does not work on rubber surface.

I used it on my rocker recliner after hip replacement. My recliner has "ski"-like wooden runners, and they sit securely on the square pad with it's rubbery surface pads. It will still rock. Although I have never seen one, there are rocker recliners that have a different configuration on the bottom, and I don't know if these would work.

Don't know, pretty good rubber but mine are on hardwood. The pockets in concrete might allow then to slide

I have hardwood floors, the wheels are duel plastic type but I have my chair on a plastic floor mat because I think any wheels will wear enough to damage a floor be it hard wood or linoleum type floor .

There are a lot of variables to consider, so I can't be sure, sorry. The tape held the rug down to the bare floor for a few weeks before losing its grip, so it seems you have to keep reapplying new tape to keep fresh and strong, but that's how I used it. Good luck.

Yes, you could put rubber or felt on the bottom if you are concerned about scratching the floor. Check with your local home improvement center.

I used these for stopping my couches from sliding on my laminate flooring. They are very "rubbery" feeling so it may work to stop the rocker from sliding on the carpet. I did find they don't stick really great as I have had to replace a few, but you do get a lot in the package. Hope that helps

I tried it and ended up tacking it down to keep it in place. Bear in mind there is no hardwood floors under the carpet. Tacked down it works just fine.

I did't use the adhesive strips. You won't need them if it will be under furniture or otherwise out of the way. I guess another question would be is an adhesive solvent like Goo Gone going to hurt your wood floors. According to their web site, it should be fine. http://googone.com/Goo-Gone-Problem-Solving
