Description
Self-Adhesive Felt Pads
These Self-Adhesive Felt Pads provide a quick and simple way to protect wooden, laminate and other hard flooring from scratches and scuffs caused by furniture legs and feet.
The adhesive backing allows the felt pad to be fitted directly to the underside of suitable furniture without using nails, screws or specialist tools, making them particularly useful for chairs, sofas, tables, cabinets and occasional furniture.
Available in 25mm and 50mm sizes, with pack options of 25 or 81 pieces.
For other floor-protection options, browse the complete Felt & Nail Glides range.
Felt Floor Protection Without Nails
The main advantage of a self-adhesive felt pad is the simple fitting method.
There is no need to drive a nail or prong into the furniture. The pad is simply applied to a suitable clean surface on the underside of the leg or foot.
They are particularly useful for:
- Dining chairs
- Tables
- Sofas
- Armchairs
- Cabinets
- Occasional furniture
- Wooden furniture feet
- Display furniture
- Furniture that is moved occasionally
For other fixing styles and furniture glides, browse the wider Furniture Glides range.
Protect Wooden & Laminate Flooring
The felt surface creates a softer contact point between the furniture and the floor.
This can help reduce:
- Scratches
- Scuffing
- Movement marks
- Direct contact from hard furniture feet
- Noise from occasional furniture movement
Livedale specifically recommends these pads for protecting wooden and laminate flooring.
For furniture that is dragged or moved very frequently, however, a fixed nail or prong glide may provide a more secure long-term solution. Livedale’s wider glide guidance also distinguishes self-adhesive pads as a quick light-duty option from mechanically fixed glides for higher-use furniture.
How to Fit Self-Adhesive Felt Pads
For the best adhesion, prepare the furniture before fitting.
- Make sure the underside of the furniture leg is clean
- Remove dust, dirt and loose material
- Make sure the surface is dry
- Choose a pad that fits fully within the furniture foot
- Remove the adhesive backing
- Position the pad carefully
- Press firmly into place
- Check the pad is fully bonded before putting the furniture back into use
The pad should sit flat against the furniture rather than overhanging the edge of the foot.
No hammer, mallet or other specialist fitting tool is required.
25mm or 50mm Felt Pads?
Choose the pad size according to the area available beneath the furniture leg or foot.
The product is currently available in:
- 25mm
- 50mm
A smaller pad may suit chair legs and compact furniture feet, while the larger 50mm option provides a broader felt contact area for larger furniture bases.
Before ordering, measure the underside of the furniture rather than choosing solely by the overall size of the leg.
Self-Adhesive or Nail-In Felt Glide?
Both provide a felt contact surface, but the way they attach to the furniture is different.
Self-Adhesive Felt Pads
Choose these where:
- A nail fixing isn’t wanted
- Quick installation is important
- The furniture cannot easily accept a nail
- Furniture is moved occasionally
- A replaceable stick-on pad is preferred
Felt Nail Glides
For a mechanically fixed alternative, see the Brown 20mm Nail Glide with Felt.
The Felt Nail Glide is physically fixed into suitable timber, making it particularly useful where the furniture is moved more frequently and a more permanent fitting is preferred.
Felt Pads or Plastic Nail Glides?
The 22mm Nail Glides use a plastic contact surface and are nailed directly into suitable wooden furniture legs.
Choose the Self-Adhesive Felt Pads where protecting hard flooring with a softer felt surface and avoiding a nail fixing are the priorities.
Choose the 22mm Nail Glide where a secure plastic glide for general furniture manufacture or higher-volume trade use is more appropriate.
Felt Pads or Domes of Silence?
For furniture where reducing movement noise is the main requirement, consider the 3 Prong 18mm Domes of Silence or larger 3 Prong 24mm Domes of Silence.
Domes of Silence use a three-prong mechanical fixing and are designed for furniture that is moved regularly.
Self-Adhesive Felt Pads are the simpler choice where the priority is quick, no-nail protection for hard flooring.
Ideal for Wooden Furniture Feet
Self-adhesive felt pads are particularly useful with wooden furniture feet.
Browse the complete Wooden Furniture Feet & Legs range for replacement sofa, chair, stool and furniture feet.
Some Livedale wooden feet are supplied with a metal glide on the base which can be removed and replaced with felt protection where the furniture is being used on wooden or laminate flooring.
This makes felt pads a useful finishing product when fitting replacement wooden feet to furniture used on hard floors.
Pack Sizes
The current product offers quantity options of:
- Pack of 25
- Pack of 81
Together with the choice of 25mm and 50mm sizes, this provides options for individual furniture projects as well as customers protecting several items of furniture.
Check Before Ordering
Before ordering, check:
- Size of the furniture foot
- Required pad diameter
- Floor surface
- Condition of the fitting surface
- How frequently the furniture is moved
- Whether adhesive or mechanical fixing is more appropriate
- Quantity required
If the furniture is moved heavily or continuously, consider whether a nail-in or three-prong glide from the Felt & Nail Glides range would provide a more suitable fitting.
If you’re unsure which option is best, contact Livedale before ordering.
