Are you tired of worrying about spills, stains, and wear and tear on your beautiful carpets? Whether you have a high-traffic commercial space, a busy household, or you’re planning a construction or renovation project, maintaining the pristine condition of your carpets can be a challenge. Fortunately, there’s a solution that offers reliable protection while preserving carpeted floors: carpet protector film.
What is carpet protection film?
Carpet protection film is a durable and adhesive-backed film designed to shield carpets from damage caused by foot traffic, spills, and construction debris. Liquids can permanently stain carpet and dirt can get trapped in the fibers, acting as abrasive and shortening the life of your carpet.
This transparent protective film acts as a barrier, preventing stains, dirt, and tears from harming the carpet fibers. Easy to apply and remove, carpet protection film offers temporary coverage that won’t leave residue behind.*
How does a carpet protector film work?
Carpet protector films like Carpet Shield® are engineered to provide superior surface protection. Unlike some other floor protection products that you have to tape down as an added step, the adhesive backing allows the film to adhere to the carpet surface without moving. The clear film is puncture-resistant, creating a reliable barrier against spills and stains. Its durable design can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it an ideal solution for events, renovations, moving, and other situations that can put your carpets at risk.
What are the benefits of using carpet protection film?
Using carpet protection film offers several advantages, including:
- Liquid resistance. The liquid resistant surface protection film acts as a shield against spills, preventing them from seeping into the carpet fibers and causing permanent damage.
- Easy maintenance. Because it is liquid resistant and withstands punctures and tears, spills and dirt can be cleaned up easily.
- Longevity. By protecting carpets from wear and tear, carpet film can prevent damage and extend the lifespan of your carpet, saving you money in the long run.
- Versatility. Carpet protector films are suitable for various carpet types and can be used on both floors and stairs, ensuring comprehensive protection.
- Time-saving. The quick and easy application and removal of carpet protection film saves you valuable time, especially during events or renovations when you have multiple tasks to manage.
When should you use carpet protection?
Carpet protection film is highly recommended in several scenarios:
- Moving: Protect your carpets from potential damage caused by heavy furniture, moving boxes, and foot traffic during the relocation process.
- Events: Whether you’re hosting a party or meeting, using carpet protector film shields your carpets from increased foot traffic and the accidental spills that can occur.
- Construction and renovations: During construction or renovation projects, carpet protection film keeps your carpets safe from dust, debris, and accidental spills, ensuring they remain in excellent condition.
How do you apply and remove carpet protection film?
Roll out the film (for rooms, we suggest starting in a corner) and apply gentle pressure as you go to remove any wrinkles or air bubbles. Carefully cut the film when you’ve reached a wall. For total room protection, repeat the process, overlapping the edges of the carpet film until you’ve covered your carpeted space. For big spaces like a conference room, use a carpet film applicator to make the process even faster.
When it’s time to remove the film, simply peel it back slowly and discard. We recommend removing carpet film within 30 days of application*. If you have carpet film left over, fold the edge against the roll and save it for future projects or events.*
