    Cork—Soft and nonabrasive, these bumpers won't scuff your surface or objects that knock into them. Use them on wood furniture, glass, and surfaces that scratch easily.
    Hardness Rating—The harder the bumper, the better it withstands impact and abrasion over time. The softer the bumper, the more cushioning it provides for objects made of glass, soft metal, and other fragile materials. Bumpers with a medium rating offer a balance of impact resistance and cushioning.

    Leave no residue or marks—these bumpers have a foam backing that clings to smooth, nonporous surfaces using static electricity, not adhesive. They’re often used to temporarily separate and cushion fragile stacked items such as glass and sheet metal. They won’t budge until you peel them back to remove or reposition them.
