What is it and how does it work?

Heel pads are fittings used to protect the floor or floor covering from damage if it is necessary to move heavy furniture without leaving marks on it. They are attached to the lower ends of the sides of cabinets and chests of drawers. They can also be used to "mask" existing defects on furniture elements. The main functions of heel pads are:

  • preventing the appearance of scratches and other damage on floor coverings made of various materials, including linoleum;
  • facilitating the movement and transportation of furniture on any surface;
  • maintaining the durability of products and preventing moisture from getting onto the lower ends of the furniture walls;
  • adjustment of the slope of products during their assembly and installation.
