Metal chairs and stools
In the field of metal chairs, stools, and high chairs, there are big names such as TOLIX, FERMOB, KNOLL, RODA, and CINNA for the most well-known. If TOLIX is the brand most used by catering professionals, it is certainly due to its expertise inherited from its many years of existence. But you can find much more affordable metal chairs and furniture at major furniture names like IKEA, ALINEA, HABITAT, MAISONS DU MONDE, or LA REDOUTE.
Metal chairs offer both a highly sought-after, attractive industrial design as well as a comfortable and stable seat. Often used by restaurants, bars, and breweries, metal chairs, stools, and high chairs have a long service life due to their solid design. They are easily stackable, easy to clean, and remain compact. Ultimately, metal chairs and stools are an excellent compromise with foolproof resistance and a versatile modern look.
Whether you bought your chairs at Alinéa, Maisons du Monde, Habitat, Leroy Merlin, or La Redoute, after a few years the plastic glides on your chairs often need replacing. It is important to replace the chair leg caps on your metal chairs, because damaged plugs no longer protect your chair legs or the floor. This is even more true with parquet or linoleum flooring, which requires optimal protection for chair legs to avoid deterioration.
Large furniture store chains in France like But, Conforama, or Camif do not offer end caps adapted to the chairs they sell. This is quite annoying because your metal chairs are often still in very good condition and will serve you for a long time to come. At Embouts et Bouchons, we have a wide selection of end caps, glides, and plugs adapted to metal chairs. Here is our selection!
Round internal end caps
Round plastic end caps for metal chair legs offer durable protection and good glide on all types of indoor floors. They will effectively replace standard chair end caps by simply being inserted in place of the old model. This model is available in several diameters: ∅10mm, ∅12mm, ∅14mm, ∅16mm, ∅18mm, ∅20mm, ∅21mm, ∅22mm, ∅23mm, ∅25mm, ∅26mm, ∅28mm, ∅30mm. To find the round end cap adapted to your chairs, measure the outer diameter of your chair leg ends, and choose the end cap with the similar diameter.
The thick round leg end cap is available in Black and White to suit your types of chairs.
Non-slip round internal end caps
For maximum safety on slippery floors both outdoors and indoors, it may be useful to use non-slip round plastic glides. These highly resistant end caps effectively replace old metal chair leg plugs. They will give your chairs a new look while guaranteeing very good floor protection. This plastic end cap model for chair legs is available in several diameters: 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, 25mm, 30mm. To find the round end cap adapted to your chairs, measure the outer diameter of the leg ends and choose the end cap with the similar diameter.
The reinforced round ball-head leg end cap is available in Black and White to suit your types of chairs.
Non-slip round external ferrules
Another possible model for round metal chair legs is the external ferrule, which has the characteristic of covering the end of the leg. More visible than an internal end cap, a round ferrule can be used on solid chair or stool legs. Made of resistant and non-slip rubber, a round ferrule offers high stability and protection even on abrasive or wet floors, for example, outdoors. This model of reinforced non-slip rubber chair leg ferrule is available in several diameters: ∅8mm, ∅10mm, ∅12mm, ∅14mm, ∅16mm, ∅18mm, ∅20mm, ∅22mm, ∅25mm, ∅28mm, ∅30mm, ∅32mm, ∅35mm, ∅40mm. To find the round end cap adapted to your chairs, measure the outer diameter of the leg ends and choose the end cap with the similar diameter.
Another model of round non-slip ferrule exists for less regular applications that require a smooth ferrule. This round ferrule is available in Black and White to suit your types of chairs. The ferrule fits legs with diameters of ∅8mm, ∅10mm, ∅12mm, ∅14mm, ∅16mm, ∅18mm, ∅20mm, ∅22mm, ∅25mm, ∅28mm, ∅30mm, ∅32mm, ∅35mm, ∅40mm, ∅42mm, ∅45mm, ∅48mm, ∅50mm, ∅60mm.
Square internal end caps
If your furniture has square legs, as can be the case for tables or specific chairs, then you will need square end caps. This model of square plastic chair leg end cap is available in several sections (LxW): 10x10mm | 12x12mm | 14x14mm | 16x16mm | 18x18mm | 20x20mm | 22x22mm | 25x25mm | 28x28mm | 30x30mm | 32x32mm | 35x35mm | 38x38mm | 40x40mm | 45x45mm | 48x48mm | 50x50mm | 60x60mm. To find the square end cap adapted to your chairs, measure the outer dimensions of the leg ends and choose the end cap with the same dimensions.
The square leg end cap is available in Black and White to suit your types of chairs. There is another version of this end cap adapted to chair leg ends with thicker walls, which is the square end cap for thick-walled chair legs.
