What is the difference between a disk cap and a glide?
A disk cap typically sits around the outside of a patio furniture chair, patio furniture table or chaise lounge leg. Disk caps are usually very shallow, no more than ΒΌ” deep. Disk caps were commonly used on very old wrought iron furniture that had a flat circular steel disk or washer, about the size of a silver half dollar, welded to the bottom of the leg. The disk cap would fit on to the OUTSIDE of the flat circular washer or disk. On the other hand, glides typically fit into the inside of the leg and have more depth or thickness.
