Differences
Focus on: Felt slides
Under extreme stress, superglue should also be used on self-adhesive felt slides (roughen the surface to be stuck lightly beforehand) in order to prevent the felt slide coming off under strain.
Felt slides should be checked regularly to see whether there is enough felt remaining. This should be done to prevent damage to floors.
Focus on: Parquet slides
Screw-in parquet slides with a felt covering are suitable for very sensitive floors (parquet, laminate, tiles).
