Furniture Weld Cups & Base Inserts

Click image to enlarge

Furniture weld cups and base inserts are two-part, heavy-duty gliding systems used primarily on casual outdoor furniture made with wrought iron, steel, or aluminum to protect floors and prevent rust. The weld cup is made of steel or aluminum and is typically welded or braised to the furniture leg, whereas the plastic base insert, typically HDPE, press-fits into the weld cup to provide the surface that rests on the floor. Both the furniture weld cups and base inserts are available in different sizes and sold separately, as the base inserts will need replacement when worn out.
Superior Components offers a range of high-quality OEM furniture weld cups and base inserts, all available from our in-stock miscellaneous hardware! Contact us for more information about our weld cups and base inserts, or request a quote for more detailed options.
 

Key Benefits of Furniture Weld Cups and Base Inserts

What are Weld Cups and Base Inserts


Weld cups are raw metal cups, specifically designed to be welded or brazed onto the bottom of tubular or wrought iron legs of furniture. They are usually left unfinished to allow for welding, but they can be painted. Base inserts are plastic, usually High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or nylon inserts that press fit into the weld cup. They provide a smooth, non-scratching surface for furniture to rest on that protects the floors from scratches and noise. Both the weld cups and plastic base inserts are sold separately, which allows replacement.
