Introducing Our New Range of Tube Inserts with Co-Moulded Felt Pads

When it comes to protecting flooring and extending the life of furniture, the details matter. That’s why we’re pleased to introduce our latest range of ribbed tube inserts with felt pads, a durable, professional solution designed for modern furniture applications.

Suitable for chairs, tables, stools, metal frames and tubular furniture, this new collection combines a secure push-fit ribbed insert with a built-in felt or wool felt base, delivering long-lasting floor protection and smooth movement across hard surfaces. Unlike traditional adhesive pads, these inserts are designed to stay firmly in place, offering a cleaner finish and a far more reliable performance over time.

Why Choose Tube Inserts with Felt Pads?

Furniture movement is one of the most common causes of scratches, scuffs and wear on flooring surfaces such as wood, laminate, vinyl and tile. Standard stick-on felt pads often wear down quickly, peel away or become detached after repeated use.

Our co-moulded felt tube inserts solve this problem by integrating the felt directly into the insert itself.

This means you benefit from:

• long-lasting floor protection
• reduced noise when moving furniture
• smooth, low-friction gliding
• maintenance-free performance
• a clean, finished appearance for exposed tube ends

For commercial, hospitality and residential furniture applications, this makes them an ideal choice.

Built for Performance and Durability

Each insert features a ribbed body for a secure push-fit installation, ensuring a tight hold inside tubular steel or aluminium furniture legs. The integrated felt base helps furniture glide smoothly without dragging, reducing strain on both the furniture and the floor beneath. Because the felt pad is co-moulded into the product, it won’t peel, shift or fall off like adhesive alternatives.

This makes these inserts particularly suitable for:

• office chairs and meeting room furniture
• restaurant and café seating
• school and educational furniture
• hospitality and hotel furnishings
• domestic dining and occasional furniture
• display stands and tubular metal frames

Our New Range of Felt Pad Tube Inserts

We’ve launched a wide selection of sizes and profiles to suit different furniture leg designs and tube shapes.

Its neat, flush finish helps improve the overall appearance of furniture while protecting delicate hard floors.

Oval Tube Inserts

Our 20x10mm Oval Ribbed Tube Insert with Felt Pad is designed for oval tube sections commonly found on lightweight seating frames and specialist furniture.

The oval profile ensures a snug fit while maintaining smooth movement and noise reduction.

The felt base helps minimise friction and protect flooring in high-use environments.

Premium Wool Felt Option for Enhanced Performance

For customers looking for an even more durable solution, our 14mm Wool Felt Domed Ribbed Tube Insert offers enhanced resilience and longevity. Wool felt provides superior compression resistance compared to standard synthetic felt, helping it maintain its structure and performance for longer.

This makes it particularly suitable for:

• high-traffic commercial environments
• hospitality furniture
• frequently moved seating
• premium furniture manufacturing

The result is smoother movement, better long-term floor protection and a more premium finish.

A Smarter Alternative to Stick-On Felt Pads

Traditional adhesive felt pads are often seen as a quick fix, but they can become a maintenance issue over time.

By choosing co-moulded felt tube inserts, you get a built-in solution that is:

• stronger
• more reliable
• longer lasting
• easier to maintain

For manufacturers, installers and end users alike, this provides a smarter, more cost-effective flooring protection solution.
