Has your dustsheet seen better days?

Carpet ProtectorStarting a new project and worried about damage to your carpet? Or are you on the job and want to look professional and limit any accidental damage? Has your dustsheet seen better days or already covered in dust and grime even when you first get it out of storage?

Try Carpet Protector from Protec.

Not only does it replace your old grubby dust sheet but its self adhesive so no need for spending time taping regular polythene sheets together for safety. It’s also fresh off the roll every time, not like traditional dustsheets, which could still be dusty from the last job or musty and full of cobwebs from storage. Carpet Protector is available in 3 widths and can be laid to fit in the smallest of areas and even round corners while still remaining durable, protecting your carpet from being walked on excessively, and withstanding tears under ladders or tools.

How to Protect Carpets when Redecorating

PromeshWe’re often asked How do I protect carpets during redecoration?”
