It’s the start of a new year and the perfect time to reintroduce ourselves and provide a little insight as to how we got here. Rugrats Flooring was incorporated in January of 1998 but has been in business since 1989. Prior to our web-based venture, Rugrats had been engaged in the business of installing some of the finest floors in the Madison area. It was during this time that owner, David Martin, noticed that people were not often getting support for their post installation needs. In addition to Dave’s ideas, his wife, Rebecca brings a unique flooring perspective and experience to our sites. Our commitment is to provide you un-matched service and prices while we help you maintain and enhance the beauty of your new flooring investment!

Whether you have carpet or hardwood floors, you can trust Clear Sleeve Floor Protectors to keep them safe! These slip on furniture sliders come in a variety of common chair leg sizes with a felt or slider bottom. They won’t fall off like traditional peel-n-stick adhesive glides. The clear slip on sleeve will look transparent and is stretchy so it will fit snug. Affordable furniture glides will fit round or square chairs legs and are made of durable vinyl. Perfect for kitchens or dining rooms!

What makes Clear Sleeve better than other floor protectors?

Expanded Technologies provides unmatched quality with superior performance. Clear Sleeve Floor Protectors are different from competitor brands with their large, curved construction. The felt pads remain in contact with the floor at any angle and distribute weight more evenly for added protection. The clear sleeve easily conforms to round or square legs with the strong yet flexible design. No need to worry about adhesives separating because pads are welded onto the clear sleeve for a secure hold.
