What to Use to Prevent My Sizes From Marking My Hardwood Floors

A hefty refrigerator can mark or dent your hardwood floors, whether you’re moving it or it is standing still. Everything you use to halt the damage differs based on if you’re transferring your fridge or it is staying put.

On the Move

Install an interlocking track system created for the bottom of the refrigerator. Slide the fridge forward on the paths to defend the hardwood; extra monitors allow for more movements. Or, lay two 4-by-4-foot sheets of plywood or durable laminate — just as used on countertops — about the ground to distribute the refrigerator’s weight during a move. Successively, put one sheet before the other as you move the fridge so far as required.

Staying Put

An interlocking track system installed beneath the fridge protects the floor from dents even while the appliance stands in place. Other options include rubber or plastic cup-style floor protectors that behave as shoes to your feet of heavy appliances or furniture.
