The Different Types of Gaming Chair Wheels

Plastic is essentially a collective term for various types of plastics. The standard wheels at Ranqer are made of plastic, but because plastic wheels can cause scratches on certain floors, Ranqer now also offers silicone wheels. With silicone wheels, you can easily roll the chair around the room.

What is the difference between plastic wheels and silicone wheels?

The difference between plastic wheels and silicone wheels is that plastic can damage a hard floor due to its hardness. Plastic wheels are suitable for soft surfaces, such as carpets. For a hard surface, silicone wheels are better because they do not cause damage, and moving the chair is smoother. These wheels are best used on a wooden floor or laminate.
