Felt Pads

Felt Pads

Definition

Felt Pads are small adhesive pads affixed to the bottom corners of picture frames to prevent scratches, scuffs, or marks on walls and other surfaces.

Applications

• Protecting walls and furniture from frame edges.
• Providing slight cushioning to stabilize frames on uneven surfaces.
• Reducing movement or sliding of frames over time.

Best Practices

• Ensure the frame surface is clean and dry before application for strong adhesion.
• Select pad thickness appropriate to the weight and size of the frame.
• Replace worn or flattened pads periodically to maintain wall and surface protection.
