Model: SP811-NA
Introduction
The 3M SP811-NA Felt Pad Roll is designed to protect your floors from scratches and gouges caused by furniture movement. Made from durable felt with a strong adhesive backing, this roll can be cut to custom sizes to fit various furniture legs, ensuring long-lasting floor preservation for hardwood, laminate, tile, and other delicate flooring surfaces.
The 3M SP811-NA Felt Pad Roll comes in a convenient package, clearly indicating its dimensions and protective features.
Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the 3M SP811-NA Felt Pad Roll:
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface of the furniture leg where the felt pad will be applied is clean, dry, and free of dust, dirt, or grease. Use a mild cleaner if necessary, and allow it to dry completely.
- Measure and Cut: Measure the desired length of felt needed to cover the contact area of your furniture leg. Using sharp scissors, carefully cut the felt roll to the measured length.
- Peel and Apply: Carefully peel off the protective backing from the adhesive side of the felt strip. Align the felt strip with the furniture leg and firmly press it into place, ensuring good contact across the entire surface. Apply pressure for a few seconds to secure the adhesive bond.
Carefully measure the required length of felt and cut it using sharp scissors to ensure a clean edge.
After cutting, peel off the protective backing and firmly press the adhesive side of the felt strip onto the clean, dry surface of the furniture leg.
Usage Guidelines
Once applied, the 3M SP811-NA Felt Pad provides a soft, protective layer between your furniture and floor surfaces. This reduces friction, allowing furniture to glide smoothly and quietly, while preventing scratches, scuffs, and other damage to hardwood, laminate, tile, and other delicate flooring. Ensure the felt pad covers the entire contact area of the furniture leg for optimal protection.
Properly installed felt pads on furniture, such as this rocking chair, ensure smooth movement and effective floor protection.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your 3M SP811-NA Felt Pads, periodically inspect them for wear and tear. If a pad becomes excessively worn, dirty, or loses its adhesive quality, it should be replaced to maintain effective floor protection. Clean the felt surface gently with a damp cloth if dust or debris accumulates, avoiding harsh chemicals that could degrade the felt or adhesive.
