Industrial Felt for Resilient Padding
SAE F-5 Felt is a heavy-duty 95% wool industrial felt. Slightly less dense than harder F-1 and F-3 felts, F-5 is an ideal felt for floor mats, seat pads, and other applications that require solid cushioning. Its other applications include dust shields, wipers, grease retainer washers, wicks, and vibration mountings. These sample sizes allow you to select the right grade before buying a larger order, or add to your swatch library.

*Please note: There may be a tolerance of up to /- 1/4” from the stated size.
**Slight color variation may occur.

Are you an artist, designer or architect? If your project requires color consistency and a premium finish we recommend using our designer felts.

Please note: Our industrial felts are made with wool that comes from free roaming sheep. Although felt is washed and carbonized there may be some vegetable matter and other debris lingering in the coat. Due to the natural origin of the material slight color variation will occur from lot to lot. Sheep hair comes in a variety of beige and gray tones, making it difficult to guarantee consistent color between rolls without dying the material.
