FAQ

It's supplied on handy rolls.

How thick/strong is your self-adhesive film?

We offer two versions of carpet protection – standard & heavy duty. Standard is 50 micron 0.05mm/2 mil or 2 thou. Heavy Duty is 100 micron 0.100mm/4 mil or 4 thou

“Reverse” or “Normal” wound – what’s the difference?

Trio products are available in both normal and reverse wound. For flat areas we normally recommend reverse wound for ease of application, for stairs we suggest Normal Wound.

"Reverse Wound" means that the sticky/adhesive side is on the outside of the roll this makes it quick & easy to apply on flat carpeted areas. "Normal Wound" is where the sticky/adhesive side of the film faces in – making it easier to apply on stairs.

Applicators are available to make it easier to apply the self-adhesive protection to large areas more quickly. Both window and carpet film applicators are available in 2 types and sizes. Please ask if you are interested in these.

How long can the protection be left in place?

For anything with an adhesive, we suggest up to 5 weeks.

What type of adhesive does your product use?

Our adhesives are eco-friendly and water-based, making them safer to use than most other products being offered on the market.

Is your carpet protection film suitable for all types of carpets?

We don’t recommend use on oriental/silk carpets or pure wool. The majority of carpets are either 80/20 blend or fully synthetic- our products are fine for these. If in any doubt, call our friendly team on 01372 747 555

Can your carpet protection be used on any other surface?

No – definitely not. These films should not be stuck onto any hard surfaces. Users should purchase “Red Multi Use” for hard surfaces.

Is the carpet protection film slippery once applied?

No. It has a non-skid surface.

Are your products re-useable?

All our self adhesive films are single use. Our hard floor protection materials are re-usable, but it really depends on the jobsite. Best to ask us first.

What happens if the product is left down for longer than the recommended 5 weeks

There is a chance of adhesive transfer. This is when the adhesive on the film transfers itself onto the carpet it is protecting.

Most other carpet protection films on the market use a petroleum based adhesive. This can be a major headache if adhesive transfer takes place. Our eco-friendly water based adhesive can be easily removed with soapy water.

Do you offer discount?

We are always happy to quote individually for multiple items and bulk orders. Typically, discounts range from 10 to 50%, depending on the quantity ordered. If you are ordering anything more than 5 rolls, call our friendly team to discuss on 01372 747 555

We accept all major credit cards, Paypal, personal and company cheques, BACS payments, cash as well as offering 30 day account facilities to regular customers (subject to terms & conditions)

And Finally...

All these self adhesive plastic films to protect carpets are the same aren’t they?

Definitely not. Be careful when choosing a supplier - always go for a reputable, established, experienced company, specialising in surface protection products. There is an assumption that this material is all produced in one big factory somewhere – it definitely is not and the quality and performance varies greatly.
