Hi, Tracy.

We have very large, heavy, free-standing walls that we move around our
wood-floored galleries with each exhibition. We lined the bases with low
profile carpet, which makes them much easier to move and protects the floor
from scrapes.

Good luck,
Rachel

Subject: Trying not to scrape the floors... advice?

Hi everyone. We currently have some (rather heavy) pedestal-base exhibit
cases in a room with a slate floor. In order to install exhibits, the cases
need to be moved a bit. The floor has been newly refinished and there is now
concern that we are going to scrape the floor during installation. Does
anyone know of something that we can place on the bottom of the cases to
prevent scraping? The slate on the floor has some natural ridging that means
the floor isn't perfectly flat.

Any thoughts are welcomed.

Thanks!
Tracy Sullivan
