September's Product of the Month: Formed Felt Caps

Brown Formed Felt Caps are a great option for floor protection. These furniture feet protectors are ideal for a variety of furniture and flooring types. Formed Felt Caps will save you time and money when it comes to repairs. By taking a few minutes to apply these furniture feet you will protect your flooring investment for years to come.

Furniture Feet Protector Overview

These formed felt caps are made of a durable vinyl with a felt bottom. The vinyl on the furniture feet will stand up to daily use and last for years to come. The felt is also tough, allowing you to protect your hard surface floors when moving chairs, stools, and other furniture.

Another benefit is that the formed felt caps with help furniture glide across you hard surface which helps to relieve resistance on the leg joints. This means that the felt furniture feet will help to extend the life of your furniture.

Easy to Order and Install

Formed felt caps are great because they have a lip around the edge which helps them stay in place. They also have a peel and stick style application to further secure them. Simply remove the paper backing and fit onto the bottom of a clean and dry furniture leg. Press firmly and allow to set for a couple minutes.

The furniture leg will fit inside of the cap and so you must measure the diameter of your round furniture leg, or the width of your square leg. Once you have this measurement you can match it to one of our sizes to order. You can also always contact us for further assistance.

You can use these furniture floor protectors on hardwood, laminate, tile, stone, and more!

Whether you are remodeling, moving, or hosting a gathering, this carpet protection plastic will help to protect your home or business. Carpet protection film is easy to use. Moreover, it will save you money and time in cleaning your carpet.

Another benefit is that the carpet protection plastic is slip resistant to ensure a safe working environment.

Carpet Protection Precautions

Please keep in mind that this carpet protection film should only be used on synthetic carpet, if you are looking to cover another surface please look at some of our other floor protection products. 3 mil temporary carpet protection should only be left down for a maximum of 45 days. If this carpet film is used in places with heavy foot traffic, high temperatures, outdoor exposure, or in direct sunlight check and replace your carpet protection more often.

Available Sizes:

Size	Approx. Sq. Ft. Coverage	Direction Wound

36 x 200	600	Reverse
36 x 500	1500	Reverse
48 x 500	2000	Reverse

Regular vs. Reverse Wound Carpet Protection?

 

Regular wound means the roll is wound similar to that of a roll of tape. The adhesive is on the underside of the roll so you would pull out the carpet protection film. This is ideal for stairs because you can fit it onto the riser and the tread easily. 

Reverse wound means that the outside of the roll is where the adhesive is located. Think wrapping paper – the design would be the adhesive and the blank side is the side you walk on. This style is nice in big flat areas because you stick one side down and then you can “kick” the roll forward to lay the protection.

Use 3 Mil Carpet Protection For

• Graduation, birthday, or holiday parties
• Open houses
• Remodeling 
• Painting
• Moving
• Inclimate weather
• Protect RV’s
• Potty training puppies
• Conference rooms
• Ballrooms
• And more!

Carpet Protection Film Accessories

In an effort to make protecting carpet as easy as possible, we also offer items to apply the carpet protection. First, we have hand rollers that you can pop into each end of the roll with easy to use handles to assist in rolling out your carpet film. Second, we have stand-up rollers which are great for applying protection in large rooms. You simply attach the roll and move it forward like a push broom. Carpet protection film will roll out in no time and save your knees!


Prevent ruined carpet and hundreds in costly cleaning and repairs by using carpet protection. You can order any size or combinations of sizes to fit your needs. Use it at work or at home, it’s sure to please. Take a look at the full line up at Floor Protection Resources today!
