And the Oscar Goes To…Rubber Bumper Feet

This year at the Oscars, Jennifer Lawrence tripped, Brad Pitt ate a slice of pizza, and Ellen DeGeneres took a selfie that broke Twitter. However, amidst all the glitz and glamour, Bumper Specialties was only concerned with one thing: Are there non-slip rubber feet on those pretty gold Academy Award statues? Were our bumpers in the hands of (gasp!) Matthew McConaughey?

As the rich and famous bumped shoulders with their peers, we were thinking of our own bumpers. If our self adhesive protectors were indeed on Oscar, he would definitely have been voted Best Dressed based on his amazing accessories.

Some quick investigative work revealed these statistics about Oscar:

Height: 13.5” 

Weight: 8.5 lbs. 

Number of Awards Ever Presented: 2,809

Number of Rubber Feet: UNKNOWN (we’d suggest placing 4 rubber feet on the bottom of your award)

Clearly the Academy is unaware that without bumpers applied to Oscar, he could slip, slide, and crash into all of Meryl’s other awards. If the Academy did call us to outfit Oscar, we’d suggest our BS-40 rubber bumper because it is small, inconspicuous, and destined for the stage. The biggest snub of the evening was the supposed lack of bumper feet!

One bumper user that specializes in trophy and award production is SD Trophy in California. With a variety ranging from Artistic Glass Awards, Achievement Acrylic Awards, and Clear Optical Crystal Awards, they’ll provide you with top quality on any award application. 

Our rubber feet appear on the bottoms of trophies and awards for a non-slip grip on any surface. SD Trophy sells beautiful awards, so it is important to utilize rubber protectors to ensure both the award and the surface it’s displayed on are protected from scuffing or marring.

Rubber Feet for Coasters

Rubber feet protect your coasters, and coasters protect your table tops!

Bumper Specialties bumperstops have many applications, including rubber feet for coasters.  This particular application is most popular with granite, glass, and ceramic coasters.  Our bumper stops strongly adhere to the bottom surface of the coaster to keep the coaster from slipping or sliding on the tabletop.  Additionally, since our rubber feet are 100% polyurethane, they will not damage, scuff, or stain your table tops.

Craft Fusion Ltd. makes beautiful glass coasters with our bumper stops!

One of our customers, Craft Fusion Limited, creates beautiful glass art for over 100 galleries throughout the United Kingdom.  Bumper Specialties is happy to sell bumper stops in the UK.  As a matter of fact, we presently ship our bumper feet to over 70 countries!  All our rubber feet are available in clear, so they will be invisible and not detract from the glass art.  Keep stunning glass art protected with our high quality crystal clear bumpers and avoid the hassle of other unsightly stoppers.

Other companies use felt or cork to keep their coasters in place.  However, Bumper Specialties bumper stops will not crack, break, or wear out like these other materials.  Try using Bumper Specialties rubber feet on the bottom of your coasters to see the quality and improvement that comes with our products!
