FAQs
What material are these furniture pads made of?
The product description does not specify the exact material, but they are designed for floor protection and noise reduction, typically made from felt, rubber, or plastic compounds.
How do I determine the correct size pad for my furniture?
Measure the diameter or the width and depth of your furniture legs. These specific pads are 19mm in diameter. Ensure your leg measurements are compatible with the pad size.
Can these pads be used on carpet?
These pads are primarily designed for hard floor surfaces. They are not recommended for use on carpet, as they may not provide adequate protection or allow for smooth movement.
How long does the adhesive typically last?
The longevity of the adhesive can vary depending on usage, frequency of furniture movement, and environmental conditions. For optimal adhesion, ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
Are there other colors available?
Yes, SIMALA offers furniture floor protectors in various colors, including Gold and Beige, in addition to Grey.
Can I cut these pads to fit oddly shaped legs?
While some materials can be cut, it is best to use pads that match the leg shape and size for optimal performance and adhesion. Cutting may compromise the protective qualities or adhesive strength.
What is the MPN for this specific product?
The MPN for these Simala Chair Leg Floor Protectors in Grey, 19mm diameter, is SIFP-19MM-FBA.
Troubleshooting
Self-adhesive pads not sticking well
Ensure the furniture leg surface is clean, dry, and free of any dust or residue. Apply firm pressure for at least 30 seconds. If old adhesive remains, remove it completely before applying the new pad.
Pads becoming loose or falling off
For self-adhesive pads, consider re-applying with a stronger adhesive or switching to screw-in/nail-in options for heavier use. For screw-in/nail-in types, ensure they were installed correctly and are securely fastened.
Noise reduction is not as expected
Check that the pads are properly centered on the furniture legs and that the entire surface of the pad is in contact with the floor. Ensure there are no gaps or unevenness in the floor surface affecting contact.
Pads are wearing out quickly
This may indicate heavy usage or unsuitable floor conditions. Consider replacing worn pads with a more robust type or ensuring the floor surface is not excessively abrasive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clean the bottom of the furniture leg to ensure a dust-free surface, especially for self-adhesive pads.
- For self-adhesive pads: Peel off the backing and firmly press the pad onto the center of the furniture leg base. Ensure it is centered for maximum stability and protection.
- For screw-in or nail-in pads: Position the pad on the leg and use appropriate tools to secure it through the pre-drilled holes or into the furniture leg material.
Compatibility:
These pads are generally compatible with most furniture legs, including chairs, tables, sofas, and cabinets. They are designed for use on hard floor surfaces such as hardwood, laminate, tile, linoleum, and concrete. Ensure the diameter of the furniture leg is compatible with the size of the pad selected (these are 19mm diameter). For best results, use on clean, dry, and relatively smooth floor surfaces.
Care:
Wipe the pads with a slightly damp cloth as needed to remove dust or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the material. For self-adhesive pads, if they begin to lose adhesion, ensure the leg and pad surface are clean before attempting to reapply pressure. If a pad becomes excessively worn or damaged, it should be replaced to maintain full protection.
