Furniture castors with brake

Flexible and stable: furniture castors with brake

Would you like to move furniture easily while also making sure it stays firmly in place when needed? In that case, furniture castors with brake are an ideal solution. In everyday use, unwanted movement can quickly become annoying or even lead to unsafe situations. With a brake, you stay in control: mobility when you want it, stability when it matters. Within the range of furniture castors, models with a brake offer exactly this balance between flexibility and safety.

Why choose furniture castors with brake?

By choosing furniture castors with brake, you opt for comfort and control. You can move a piece of furniture effortlessly and then lock it immediately in the desired position. This is especially convenient for furniture that is used frequently or subjected to regular loads. Compared to standard swivel castors for furniture, which are mainly designed for smooth rolling, swivel castors with brake provide extra security by actively blocking movement. This helps prevent furniture from shifting during use.

Securely in place, safe to use

Furniture that moves unexpectedly can be inconvenient and, in some situations, even feel unsafe. By fitting furniture with castors that include a brake, everything remains stable when you lean on it, work nearby or place items on top. This creates peace of mind and confidence during use.

This added stability is particularly important for worktables, cabinets, sideboards or other furniture that is used intensively. You reduce unwanted movement, limit wear on the furniture and keep your work or living space safe and well organised. In this way, flexibility and control come together—exactly what furniture castors with brake are designed for.

Applications of furniture castors with brake

Furniture castors with brake are suitable for a wide range of applications. They make it easy to move furniture while ensuring it remains firmly in place when required. In practice, these castors are commonly used for:

• Cabinets and TV units that you want to move occasionally without them sliding
• Worktables that must remain stable and secure during use
• Sofas and other larger pieces of furniture where mobility is desired without compromising stability

This allows you to organise your space practically and adapt it easily whenever needed.

Which furniture castors with brake are suitable for each floor type?

The surface on which a piece of furniture stands has a major influence on the type of furniture castor with brake that works best. Within the LogiHub range, you will find various tread materials, each designed for a specific floor type. Making a considered choice helps prevent floor damage and ensures the furniture can be moved smoothly and remains stable.

Parquet and wooden floors

Furniture castors with a soft PU or rubber tread are the best option here. They roll easily, leave no marks and protect the floor from scratches and indentations.

Laminate and PVC

For laminate and PVC floors, a soft PU or elastic rubber tread works best. These materials distribute the weight evenly, roll smoothly and do not leave streaks. They protect the floor from scratches and pressure marks, even with frequent movement.

Tiles and concrete

On hard floors such as tiles and concrete, a TPR tread performs best. This material rolls smoothly, absorbs small irregularities and reduces shocks during movement.

With the right combination of floor type and tread material, you get the most comfort and safety out of furniture castors with brake.

When is a brake necessary, and when is it not?

We recommend using a brake especially when furniture is used intensively or needs to remain stationary during use. In practice, a brake is particularly useful in the following situations:

• For furniture that is regularly loaded, such as worktables
• When the furniture is placed on a smooth or slippery floor
• If unwanted movement affects safety or ease of use

For lightweight furniture, castors without a brake are usually sufficient. For chairs and other seating furniture, it is better to choose chair wheels, which are designed for comfortable and smooth movement.

Stable furniture without damaging the floor

Do you want furniture to stay firmly in place while keeping your floor in good condition? Then a furniture castor with brake and a floor-friendly tread is the right choice. The brake prevents unwanted movement, while the tread protects the surface from scratches and pressure marks. TPR castors are a popular option, as this material rolls smoothly, leaves no marks and is especially kind to floors. On more delicate surfaces in particular, this combination provides extra security and helps extend the lifespan of both the furniture and the floor.

Frequently asked questions about furniture castors with brake

Do you still have questions after reading this information? Below, we answer a few common questions to help you make an informed choice.

Does a brake affect the load capacity of furniture castors?

No, a brake does not change the maximum load capacity of a castor. It can support the same weight as a version without a brake.

Do all furniture castors need a brake, or is one enough?

In many situations, it is not necessary for all furniture castors to have a brake. Usually, it is sufficient to fit two out of four castors with a brake so that the furniture remains stable when needed while still being easy to move.

Does a furniture castor with brake wear out faster than one without?

In practice, the difference is barely noticeable. A furniture castor with brake is designed to roll normally when the brake is not engaged. Movement is only blocked when the furniture is stationary. As long as the brake is used only when the furniture is at rest and not during movement, the castor will continue to roll smoothly and the braking mechanism will remain durable, even with regular use.
