Møbelputer

Møbelputer, often translated as furniture pads or furniture protectors, are small, thin pieces of material affixed to the underside of furniture legs. Their primary purpose is to prevent damage to flooring surfaces caused by the friction and weight of furniture. This damage can manifest as scratches, scuff marks, dents, or general wear and tear, particularly on delicate materials like hardwood, laminate, vinyl, or tile.

These pads are typically made from materials such as felt, rubber, silicone, or cork. Felt pads are popular for their soft texture, which offers excellent protection against scratching and also helps to dampen sound, reducing noise when furniture is moved. Rubber and silicone pads provide a more durable grip, preventing furniture from sliding and offering robust protection against dents. Cork pads offer a natural and eco-friendly option, providing a balance of cushioning and grip.

Møbelputer come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different furniture leg designs, including round, square, and rectangular. They can be self-adhesive, nailed on, or designed to slip over the leg. The application of møbelputer is a simple yet effective maintenance measure for protecting floor coverings, extending the life of both the furniture and the floor, and contributing to a quieter living environment.
