Felt Bumpers

Felt Bumpers

Definition

Felt Bumpers are small pads made of felt that adhere to the back corners of a picture frame to protect walls from scuffs and to keep the frame level.

Applications

• Preventing scratches or marks on walls from frame edges.
• Providing slight spacing to stabilize frames on uneven surfaces.
• Reducing sliding or movement of framed artwork over time.

Best Practices

• Clean the frame surface before applying to ensure strong adhesion.
• Use appropriately sized bumpers to support the weight of the frame.
• Replace bumpers periodically to maintain wall protection and frame stability.
