The First Peel and Stick Heavy Duty Felt Pads Nearly 40 years ago Richard Bushey was remodeling a turn of the century schoolhouse with original pine floors when he realized that the scrapes and scratches on the floors were caused by the constant movement of chairs and desks. His solution? The first peel and stick heavy duty felt pad to place under furniture legs. They protect floors from scratches, gouges and dents and can help reduce the movement stress on furniture joints when furniture moves with difficulty. Expanding Product Line Richard Bushey began manufacturing felt pads in 1981, and Expanded Technologies was founded in 1987. Bushey has continued to invent ingenious ways to protect floors and furniture and today the company offers a variety of products. He still holds many related patents for surface protection products, and the company is one of the top three in the U.S. for this category. Useful in All Environments Expanded Technologies products are helpful in any environment: homes, offices, hospitals, restaurants, hotels and schools. The products reduce maintenance costs by providing a variety of solutions that reduce damage and wear caused by furniture.
