I honestly would find the best floor finisher in your area and ask what they recommend for protection. My floor finisher said to not put any rubber back rugs on the floor and also plastic floor protectors. Now, I live where it is humid during the summer and that may be the reason as they might trap moisture close to floor. He used several coats of urathane floor finish and his recommendation was to have hime come back every 7 years and do a lite buffing and reapply the finish layers.

Bonnie Hunter has devoted some of her blog posts to how she is protecting her wood floors from the constant comings and goings of retreaters. She just redid her floors and so there are lots of helpful hints there. https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2024...rs-floors.html This is the first link where she is talking about the current process. She has floor coverings and wheels that she uses on all the chairs listed in her amazon affiliate store if you want ideas on what is working for her. But I think the true reason her floors stay good is that she had them profesionally refinished to be as protected as a basketball course from constant use. Her newest helpful gadget is a chairpad that swivels so you don't have to roll around in the chair so much. One of her retreaters brought it. That is discussed in one of the blogs, too.
