How do I protect hardwood floors from executive chair casters?

The most effective floor protection strategies for executive chairs on hardwood: (1) Switch to hard-floor casters — chairs typically ship with carpet casters (hard nylon) that can scratch wood; request or purchase soft rubber or polyurethane casters designed for hard floors. (2) Use a chair mat — a flat-bottom hard-floor chair mat creates a protective surface and keeps the chair rolling smoothly. (3) Keep casters clean — remove debris from caster wheels regularly, as embedded grit acts like sandpaper on wood. Hard-floor casters are the single most important step — most hardwood floor scratching from office chairs is caused by the wrong caster type, not by the chair's weight.
