Metal outdoor furniture can create irritating scraping sounds when moved across tile surfaces. These noises occur due to direct metal-to-tile contact and can be easily prevented with simple solutions.
Apply self-adhesive felt or rubber pads to the bottom of furniture legs. These inexpensive pads create a protective barrier that eliminates metal-on-tile contact. For heavier pieces, use rubber cups or caps that fit snugly over furniture legs.
Place outdoor rugs or mats under furniture groupings. This not only reduces noise but also protects your tile surface from scratches. For permanent solutions, consider installing soft gliders specifically designed for outdoor use.
Regularly check and replace worn pads as needed, especially after rainy seasons when moisture can accelerate wear. These simple interventions will maintain your patio's peace while protecting both your furniture and tile surfaces.
