Snow can cause a mess when coming indoors from outside, use heavy duty trapmats and save on cleaning time and effort.

With the weather as it is, it isn’t just building sites that are affected but pavements and paths can soon turn into a sludgy mess. When walking into your house the last thing you need is a mess on your floor, especially carpets and buildings such as hotels can suffer with lobbies and entrances taking the brunt of the damage . A great way po combat this and save a lot of cleaning time are our heavy duty dirt trapper mats. Unlike standard trapmats, which don’t stand up against water and particualry wet, muddy or snowy boots, due to their vinyl type surface, Protec’s heavy duty trapmats are made of a fabric material and a reinforced banding around the edges. This means they are far better at absorbing moisture and are a much better option in particularly wet weather.

In areas that there is particularly high foot traffic it may be worth looking at some additional floor protection to safeguard against wet, muddy and dirty shoes. We supply a range of materials that work brilliantly in this application including self adhesive carpet protector which is specifically for protecting carpets.

If your floors are suffering in the winter months, or at any point in the year for that matter, then contact Protec for advice on temporary protection materials for your floors on 0800 834 704.

Stripping wallpaper can be a massive hassle without carpet protector film.

Recently I was undertaking some redocoration work in the main hallway of my house and one of the main jobs was stripping the existing wallpaper for a new coat of paint. I have done some work like this before and the resulting mess from the wallpaper can be a big hassle when clearing up, it doesn’t tend to get picked up by hoovers or simply clogs it so I ended up having to use a dustpan and brush which not only took ages but also left the carpet in a pretty dire state.

This time around I used some of our self adhesive carpet protector on the carpet before I started any work. As seen below it quickly started to get very messy. Once the stripping of the wallpaper was complete quite a large amount had gathered on the floor and where previously a failed hoover attempt and subsequent dust pan and brush would have started I simply had to roll up the film and throw it away!

If you’re doing any redecorating work where any sort of mess like the wallpaper strippings below could cause any damage or long and costly cleaning time or charges I would highly recommend using some self adhesive carpet protector. Make sure it’s reverse wound so you can easily lay it down and remember not leave it in place for longer than 4 weeks. Click here for a link to a recommended product that comes with free 2 day delivery and great prices for a very good quality film and low tack film that isn’t as flimsy or will leave adhesive marks that simialrly priced alternatives will.

Top Tips for Decorators

Decorating your house? Here are some top tips for protecting the working environment when decorating a room

Protect carpets from paint!

Whether it’s a kitchen wood floor or a living room carpet, if you are painting, applying wallpaper etc then your floors are subject to probably spills and accidents. Dust sheets or newspaper can sometimes suffice but the former can often be a trip hazard while the latter can actually end up making more mess than if not used! Protec stock various floor protection whether it’s for wood or carpets that is easy to apply, quick, efficient and leaves your floors free from paint spills and worse!

Low-Tack Tape For Taping Off Fixtures

Tape is great for covering specific areas or fixings such as skirting boards so you don’t have to worry about painting right to the edge. This is a great tip but often people don’t pick their tape correctly and when removing could even pull up some of the finish on your covered fixing. Low-tack tape is perfect for use on finished surfaces and means you can get busy covering your skirting boards without need to worry about ruining the finish when removing

Protecting Doors While Painting Frames

A common issue is when wanting to re-paint a doorframe but while trying to avoid getting paint onto the door itself. Other smaller items can just be taped over, like mentioned above, but taping a whole door is probably a waste of tape. Door Sleeves slide over doors and protects from various damage such as paint but we’ve found it is also great for protecting from scratches when moving furniture through doorways

Stay Clean!

While working with paint or other potentially messy substances then it is easy for the mess to spread. You can safeguard your working area and surrounding house from this by using overshoes and trapmats when leaving a room. This means any dirt accumulated won’t be spread from room to room and contains the mess!
