Made for Your Application
Felt pads are die-cut nonwoven components used where a soft, fibre-rich contact layer is more important than a watertight seal. They are supplied loose, with pressure-sensitive adhesive, or on carrier sheets for fast placement under legs, displays and light equipment.
Material advantage
Felt offers a gentle contact surface and slides smoothly, helping reduce abrasion on wood, tile, glass and coated furniture surfaces.
Key features
- Low-scratch fibre face
- quiet sliding
- die-cut circles and custom shapes
- self-adhesive option
- colour matching.

Manufacturing & Finish Options
Production process
Die cutting, kiss cutting, laser cutting and PSA lamination
Manufacturing notes
Cut edges may show fibre bloom; density, pile and adhesive coverage are specified by the contact surface.
Adhesive options
Permanent acrylic PSA, rubber PSA and repositionable adhesive for clean indoor surfaces.
Surface options
Natural, black, grey or coloured felt; smooth or needle-punched finish.
Where It Fits
Best for
- Furniture feet, drawer stops, display bases, decorative hardware, glass protection and low-load anti-scratch contact.
Common industries
- Furniture, homeware, retail display, packaging, décor, office products and light assembly.
Consider another option when
Wet or oily floors, high-load machine mounts, outdoor weather exposure, or precision sealing duties.
MATERIAL OPTIONS
Choose the Right Material Construction
Design & Engineering Notes
Design guidelines
Use a pad area large enough to spread the load; round outer corners reduce edge lifting during furniture movement.
Engineering notes
Adhesive bonds best to clean, dry, smooth surfaces; felt should be replaced if it becomes grit-loaded or saturated.
Selection Guide
Use wool felt for a premium natural finish, polyester for colour consistency and moisture tolerance, and thicker dense felt for heavier furniture.
Material comparison
Felt protects finishes more gently than rubber but lacks rubber’s grip; foam gives more cushioning but generally wears faster under sliding.
Standards & requirements
Customer appearance standard, dimensional drawing and agreed density or weight specification.
Drawing Requirements
PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP, AI, CAD screenshots and dimensioned sketches can be reviewed. Don’t have a CAD drawing? A dimensioned PDF, sketch or clear image may be sufficient for an initial review.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will felt pads scratch hardwood floors?
Clean felt pads are designed to reduce scratching, but embedded grit can scratch; inspect and replace pads as needed.
Which felt density is suitable for dining chairs?
Medium-density 3 mm felt is a common starting point, with larger footprints for heavier chairs or rough floors.
Can you cut a logo-shaped felt pad?
Yes. Die cutting can produce custom silhouettes, internal holes and branded retail-sheet arrangements.
How long does the self-adhesive backing last?
Life depends on the surface cleanliness, pad loading and movement frequency; a larger adhesive area improves retention.
