Office Chair Glides – Stop Your Chair Rolling

Glides replace your office chair's wheels with smooth fixed feet. The chair stays exactly where you put it — no drifting on hard floors, no carpet stretching, no rolling backwards when you hit a brake pedal.

Who switches to glides

Hard-floor workers whose chairs wander off mid-sentence. Sim racers and musicians who need to push against pedals without shooting backwards. Carpet owners tired of castors kneading the pile into bumps. Anyone who sits in one place and would like their chair to do the same.

The Aeten® glide

Our Chrome Steel Office Chair Glides – Set of 5 (£17.99) are solid polished steel with the universal 11mm push-fit stem. No moving parts means nothing to wear out — in nineteen years of selling them we haven't seen a set break. The smooth dome base lets you deliberately shuffle the chair when you want to, without it ever rolling on its own.

Fitting: the five-minute job

1. Flip your chair over — no tools needed.
2. Pull each old castor straight out with a firm tug.
3. Push each glide in until it clicks. Done.

Will they fit?

If your existing castor stem is 11mm across — the standard on nearly all office and gaming chairs — yes. IKEA chairs (10mm stems) are the one common exception. Email a photo of your castor pin to info@chairoutlet.co.uk and we'll confirm fit for free before you buy.

Rather keep rolling?

For hard floors, soft PU castors (from £6.99) grip and roll quietly without scratching. See also castors for wooden floors.
