25.01.2022 White Plastic Nail-in Feet Protectors Almost all the furniture that you buy these days have white plastic nail-in feet protectors. They also sell them in most hardware stores. Anyone thinking that these actually protect floors will soon find out that this is not the case. Many of them are just in diameter. Basic physics tells you that the smaller the surface the greater the forces exerted on that surface. You have a person sitting and moving back and forth on that little h...alf inch circle, it’s bound to cause damage to the floor over time. So, if you have those plastic nail-in feet protectors, take them off and put on proper floor protectors such as the Flexi-Felt floor protectors. Make sure to cover the entire bottom of the chair legs so that the weight of the person sitting in the chair is distributed over the entire surface and not on just a tiny circle.

21.01.2022 Gotta Love happy clients! Just received this from Cara Carusi in Adelaide " Hi Al, just wanted to say we are so happy with the chair glides! We had a whole bunch of people over yesterday and had no slipping off of the glides whatsoever, so thank you very much. we appreciate it."

21.01.2022 Tired of sticky felts that keep falling off your furniture, the Flexi-Felt clear range will solve that problem in an instant.

17.01.2022 Flexi-Felt is not your average double sided tape felt adhesive. With our high density wool felt and an adhesive that is impregnated into the fibers, that old problem of felt protectors not sticking to the bottom of your furniture is a thing of the past.

16.01.2022 Quality Floor Protectors So you have just had your new timber floors installed or sanded and they are looking spanking new. How are you going to protect them from all those furniture scratches as they they get moved around? Probably the first and most important thing to look for in your furniture floor protectors is quality. Quality felt, quality plastic, quality adhesive.... Protective Felt Keep a look out for felt with a high density that isn't going to quickly thin out from the weight of the furniture or from it being moved around a lot like dining chairs. All natural materials like wool are not only great for density but also for those that suffer from allergies. Self Adhesive Felt Another thing to keep an eye out for is a good quality adhesive for your felt protectors. Many cheap brands use double sided tape attached to the felt, which you may find may delaminate pretty quickly from either the felt or the chair. If you can find felt protectors that use a commercial grade adhesive that is boned into the felt you will not only save yourself the frustration of continually replacing the felt but also making sure they don't fall off and start marking your floor. Floor Protectors for different Furniture Obviously there are many styles and shapes of furniture. So what is going to work best for you? Firstly have a look under your furniture legs, are they square, oval, round or a just a mixture? You will find most good manufactures will make many different sizes so all you have to do is measure the leg size, use the corresponding felt size and your done. Alternatively if you have odd shaped furniture legs you may find it better to buy a large piece and cut to match. To measure simply put the felt up against the chair leg and with a marker pen outline around the leg shape. Then using a pair of scissors cut out neatly and you should have the perfect size. Sled Chairs Glides For those chairs that have a sled style chair legs with round tubing there are products that will clip into the round tubing. On the underside there should be a good quality felt attached underneath. These come in different sizes to fit a variety of tubing sizes. In these look for quality plastic clips and high density felt. All good quality sled glides will snap lock into the tubing tightly and should not move around on the chair leg. Overall if you are going to spend thousands of dollars on a new floor, think about spending a few extra dollars on some quality furniture floor protectors. It will be a decision you will not regret.

12.01.2022 Need to protect your new Polished timber floor? What about reducing the noise as your chairs drag across your floor? Flexi_Felt pads will solve these problems for you. Flexi-Felt stays on!

12.01.2022 Why would you pay more for floor protection product? When two products perform the same and last about the same amount of time then it is not always the best idea to buy the most expensive one. In that case the more expensive product does not justify buying it. I have found a big difference when buy the cheapest or mid priced products in soaps, shampoos, cookies and other baked goods, towels etc. When I buy the cheap soap it just doesn’t wash very well so the mid-priced produ...ct is better. Cheap baked goods are not very good. Extended warranties are also not a good investment because if they are offered it means that the manufacturer expects the product to last for the extra year or two which is the length of the extended warranty. So when should you pay more for a product? Someone recently asked me to justify spending more money for Flexi-Felt Floor protectors then other products on the market. In this case it was easy to justify. Who has or wants to spend their time constantly replacing cheap felts? I know I would rather spend a bit more, put them on and take that worry off of my list of things to think about replacing. I don’t have the time to constantly run out to the store to buy them. I would keep wasting gas to go to the store and come back and never mind the cost of constantly buying product that lasts maybe a month. I was told years ago to look at the payback time (maybe not the correct term here but once you read it you’ll know what I mean). Yes , again a bit of math. Say you pay something $100. And it lasts 2 years. You buy something cheaper that costs you $10 but only lasts 1 month. In 10 months the more expensive item is paid off because you don’t have to constantly replace it and you actually end up ahead money wise. Over 24 months (2 years) x $10/month the cheap one costs $240 but the more expensive one was $100 so you end up saving $140. You can do the math on a lot of things and see what is worth spending more money on and what is not. Look at how long it will last and what it cost then do the math. See more

10.01.2022 Why didn’t my self adhesive pads stay on? People hear that the Flexi-Felt is a great product and will stay on no matter what? I would agree, but they are not a miracle product. They are however excellent when installed properly and used as they were intended. The first thing many people do wrong is to not clean the bottom of their chair legs properly. I’ve done myself using the products that go on windows for hanging strings of lights or Xmas decorations. I put it on without ...cleaning the surface and less then an hour later what I put up is on the ground. You HAVE to clean the surface properly to remove all old glue, dirt and grease. Do a final wipe with rubbing alcohol to remove any oils that may be on the surface (the products that remove old glue contains oil which will interfere with the new glue holding on). Only then can you apply adhesive pads. Let the pads set for a while so that the adhesive has time to bond with the surface. Secondly, adhesives do not bond well with rubber and some plastic products. You can try it, but you’ll find that they don’t always stay on. Thirdly, a little pad won’t hold onto a tiny leg or a heavy chair. The adhesive that Flexi-Felt uses is designed to take shear forces but the adhesive must have sufficient surface to adhere to in order to grip properly. Too small a surface for the forces being exerted on it and it’ll slip off. Or, just plain to much force from a heavy piece of furniture (or furniture and a person) and of course the pad will move. Net time your pads don’t stay on you’ll know why but what’s even better is to install the pads correctly to greatly reduce them from slipping off. For more information on how to install our self adhesive pads correctly please watch our installation video.

09.01.2022 Interesting Felt Facts We buy felt pads to put on the bottom of our chairs but really don’t think of what an interesting product it is, so I’ve dug up a few facts about felt: It doesn’t wear easily... It maintains its physical properties as it wears It’s resilient. It can be compresses and released thousands of times without changing shape Its great for polishing and protecting items such as floors It can be exposed to the elements It’s highly absorbent It cuts with a clean edge that won’t fray or unravel It can be cut to any shape, size or thickness It’s excellent at reducing noises and vibrations Can be made soft as wool or hard as wood Wool Felt Felt can be made with both natural fibers, such as wool, and synthetic fibers like acrylic and polyester. Wool felt has these additional properties: Wool Felt is highly resilient, retaining its strength and unique properties for decades Wool Felt is chemical resistant Wool felt is a renewable and environmentally friendly resource. When buying felt keep in mind the job that the felt must do. In the case of floor protection, you want a felt that is soft but durable, that isn’t like wood (look out for those really hard felts that are out there) and ideally environmentally friendly (one that contains wool Like the Flexi-Felt).
