Product Overview
Adhesive plastic tabs, 3 x 3.5 inches, supplied on a 30 metre (100 ft) perforated roll of approximately 340 tabs. Pull a tab off the roll, place it sticky side up under a furniture leg, and it stays there.
Important — Sticky Side Up
The adhesive faces the furniture, not the carpet. The tab sticks to the leg and travels with it.
That is the whole point: furniture can be moved back and forth for prespraying and extraction without the barrier sliding off and without anything having to be re-placed under each leg every time.

Operating Advice
- Place them sticky side up so they adhere to the leg and travel with it.
- Apply to a dry, clean leg. Adhesive will not hold on a wet or dusty surface.
- Remove them before you leave, or tell the customer they are there. An adhesive tab left on a timber leg for weeks is a different conversation.
- Test on a delicate or unfinished leg first. Adhesive and bare timber do not always part cleanly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which way up do they go?
Sticky side up, against the furniture leg.
Will the adhesive damage the furniture?
On finished legs, normally no. On unfinished or delicate timber, test first — and take them off rather than leaving them.
How many are on a roll?
Approximately 340, on a 30 metre perforated roll.
Should I use these instead of pads?
Use them where furniture gets moved during the job. For furniture put back at the end, plastic pads are cheaper per leg.

What We See in the Field
Tabs solve a specific problem: the piece that has to be walked back and forth while you work around it. Used as a general replacement for pads they cost more than they need to, and used on unfinished timber they occasionally cost more than that.
