Felt pads provide a crucial interface that protects the laminate wear layer from the abrasive nature of furniture bases, such as metal or wood chair legs. By using adhesive felt pads, the weight of the furniture is distributed more evenly, and the surface is protected from grit being dragged across the floor. This simple addition is one of the most effective ways to preserve the original finish and longevity of the flooring, as it prevents the accumulation of surface-level damage that degrades the aesthetic appearance over time.

Do felt furniture pads prevent micro-scratches on laminate surfaces?
Yes, felt furniture pads are essential. They create a soft, protective buffer between heavy, hard furniture legs and the laminate surface, effectively preventing micro-scratches, scuffs, and abrasions that occur during normal daily movement of chairs and tables.
