“We made them hexagon-shaped instead, like the honeycomb in a beehive. It’s a common shape in nature, and it’s a good way to utilize space effectively. The shape fits different furniture legs better, no matter if they’re round or square.” says Percy. Another plus is that less material is needed. Percy and his team calculated that the small pieces they peeled off equals in average 40 million saved floor protectors each year. “With large volumes, every little change can make a positive difference. And since we also can fit more protectors on each sheet of paper, we need less packaging material too.”

Best Thing to have on the ReadyKimStay on well and do a great job of protecting wood floors.
Good but wish there was a thicker version LaylitaSticks well but I would like a thicker version. I used these to help keep my cabinet doors from hitting the shelves sides too hard.
They peel off easily JosephineI put these for my chairs (from Ikea) and they come off very easily and get stuck every else (i.e. shoes, vaccuum...etc.)
FixaRyanGood material and quantity
Felt padsTheresaDoes the job as intended. Would like to see pads for outdoor furniture though.
Not the greatest build qualityJoshNice enough looking, and definitely functional. Has space for a decent number of LPs. Build quality is not that great. Hard to get door hinges to seat all the way into the doors, so they don't close perfectly. Also, top drawer rubs on bottom side of the top deck.
No more scratchingAnonymous reviewerThese are great for those chairs you have to always pick up
Very goodPatriciaUsefull
No scratch DeniseI like pads they’re easy to apply make sliding chairs on hardwood floors easy and scratch resistant.
It’s goodShielaIt’s good deal. Very useful
Nope not worth itRuthThis was a waste of money. They don't stick to anything and are not the right size. I would not buy these again.
Best seller for a reasonNancyYou need these. Under legs of a chair, under decorative items on delicate surfaces, on cabinet doors to keep them from banging, as spacers in a picture frame... 1000 uses beyond protecting floors & at a "stock up" price.
I like these bestIrinaI’ve tried lots of different ones, but I like this shape, thickness and texture the best for protecting my floors and the adhesive seems to work best for staying on furniture feet.
Handy little surface protectorsMbThese little felt protectors have come in very handy recently. I found a metal in/out box from my husband's old work office. It was missing 3 of the 4 rubber protective dots. I pulled the single dot out and applied one of the small size fixas to each corner and now have the paper tray on my desk with no worry about damage to the wood surface.
Quiet slidesShannonPerfect for the chairs & stools I purchased for my classroom. I bought extra just to be safe.
Perfect for putting between table top and legsRobertPerfect for putting between table top and legs to prevent wobbling.
Easy to apply CireliLove that these are almost flat and easy to apply to furniture.

Story
Fewer scratches with less material
Did you know that we have products you preferably shouldn’t notice in your home? FIXA stick-on floor protectors are one example. They hide under chairs, sofas, tables and flower pots and do an important job in silence. When we redesigned them, we created a product that fits more homes better, but it also resulted in less material use.
“Most floor protectors are round or square”, says Percy Norrman, engineer involved in the development of FIXA floor protectors. Together with his colleagues, he looked into what positive effects a new shape on these soft helpers could mean. They started by cutting off tiny pieces around the edges.
Minimal design for great savings
The details that make a difference
The FIXA protectors consist of 70% recycled plastic. Percy says that it’s possible to make more than 100 protectors from one single recycled 1.5 quart PET bottle. “In addition, we were able to reduce the number of steps in the production chain by not bleaching the recycled plastic, but instead keeping its natural color. The new design fits more homes better, but perhaps best of all – it means more efficient use of resources and less impact on the environment.”
Material
What is recycled polyester?
When we create products from recycled polyester, PET bottles, and other sources, they get a new life in products like textiles, storage boxes, kitchen fronts, and even lamps. When using them, you get to enjoy exactly the same quality and function as with virgin polyester products. And naturally, they’re just as clean and safe in every way. And perhaps the very best part – you contribute to using less new raw materials too.
