Felt pads provide a soft barrier that allows furniture to slide without scratching the wood finish. For the best results, ensure the pads are the correct size for the furniture legs and replace them periodically, as they can become compressed or collect grit over time. For heavy items that are rarely moved, felt pads still provide necessary protection against impact marks. Always clean the underside of furniture before applying pads to ensure the adhesive bond is strong and dirt-free.

Yes, high-quality felt pads are one of the most effective ways to protect wood flooring from heavy furniture. They prevent direct contact between heavy legs and the floor surface, significantly reducing the risk of deep gouges, scratches, and finish wear caused by daily use.
