PRODUCT USER GUIDE: Choosing the right chair leg caps

The wide range of chair leg caps available can make it difficult to choose the product best suited to your needs. Ajile guides you through this user guide to help you select the right chair leg cap for your furniture. Follow Ajile’s professional advice and choose the correct cap.

Type of chair leg: insert caps or sleeve caps

If you are looking for a cap for hollow chair legs, you can choose between insert caps and sleeve caps.
The insert cap fits inside the tube. To select the correct ribbed insert cap, measure the external dimensions of the tube and take the wall thickness into account. The ribbed insert caps offered by Ajile are designed to suit all tube thicknesses, provided the correct dimensions are selected.
The sleeve cap, as its name suggests, fits over the chair leg. To choose the right sleeve cap, only the external dimensions of the chair leg are required.
If you are looking for a cap for solid chair legs, you must choose sleeve caps. Sleeve caps are particularly recommended for wooden chair legs.
In both cases, no tools are required apart from a mallet to help fit the chair leg cap.
Ajile offers round sleeve caps as well as a wide range of round, square and rectangular insert caps.

The purpose of the plastic cap: noise reduction, protection or uneven floors

Each cap has a specific use.
- Among the range of insert caps:
For noise reduction, felt insert caps effectively eliminate noise and protect delicate floors such as parquet.
For chair leg protection, choose plastic insert caps.
To compensate for uneven floors, particularly outdoors, threaded caps are ideal for fitting an adjustable threaded foot inside the chair leg.
- Among the range of sleeve caps:
For noise reduction, choose natural rubber caps. Robust and shock-absorbing, they provide excellent noise reduction and are widely used in hotels, restaurants, schools and public buildings.
For chair leg protection and aesthetics, choose plastic sleeve caps.
For intensive use, Ajile offers heavy-duty PVC sleeve caps with increased thickness and durability.
