How to protect your home when moving house or decorating

A member of our team at Protec recently decided to move home. While making the move and carrying furniture through the house a disaster occurred and a sofa put a huge dent into a door frame.

Now moving home is stressful enough, the logistics can often be tedious and help is often needed meaning your soon-to-be ex-house will be subject to some heavy foot traffic with lots of people coming in and out. An accident like above is waiting to happen. This can equally apply to the new home your moving into and the last thing you want to do is damage any fittings or floors on the first day you’re moving in!

It is always a good idea to take preventative measures to ensure things like this don’t happen and this is where Protec can help.

Carpets

To ensure carpets aren’t damaged while moving or even simply decorating your new home people often use things like dustsheets or old coverings to protect floor but they can cause some serious trip hazards particularly on stairs or when carrying some heavy furniture. Here is a great video of our carpet protection which is a lot more effective, efficient and safe than any traditional dustsheet! Continue reading →

Home Remodelling Guide- Protect Your Home During Refurbishment

It is often said that “your home is your castle”. Every homeowner can attest to this belief, but when your castle is being remodeled, it can feel like your beloved kingdom is under attack. Walls suddenly disappear, strange people making loud noises and your sacred room becomes unrecognizable as it just disappeared. A plumber calls for the fourth time to say he can’t make it and your contractor casually informs you that you’re £2,000 over budget.

Ensuring your home is protected during builds is vital and can prevent missed deadlines and over-spend on budgets

  • Outside Matters
    Catch dirt and debris before it even enters the home. Trapmats are tacky mats that provide cost effective dust and dirt containment for fit-out and refurbishment work. The high-tack adhesive mat surface will trap and remove dust and debris from foot and wheeled traffic. Each tacky mat contains 30 numbered peel-away sheets coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive. The sheets capture work dust and debris in doorways to reduce the need for cleaning in non-working areas. The non-slip trapmats can be laid directly onto any clean floor surface and removed without damaging the floor below.

 

  • Clean Feet = Clean Floors
    Say good-bye to scuffs, footprints and heel marks with overshoes. Designed to slip on easily, they’re extremely affordable and convenient. Made from a heavy duty disposable elasticated polyethylene, to one universal size, Protec Overshoes fit all types of footwear, pulling easily over working boots. They’re also highly visible, making it easy to identify and educate non-users. Continue reading →

Usage: Carpet Protector – 17 Year olds birthday party

Opinion: ‘This product saved our new carpets from my daughter’s 17th birthday party (over 38 people in our 4 bed house). This is a fabulous product and I would recommend it to anyone, be aware though that you need more than you think – the 25 metre roll only just covered two rooms (not that big) luckily we ordered 2 rolls – next time I’d buy the 100m roll to ensure I had enough for more carpets. Great carpet protection product.’

Plaster Boarding a ceiling? Zipwall props will hold them in place for you!!

Plaster Boarding a Ceiling with ZipWallThis is a nifty application for our Zipwall temporary screening system.

Predominantly Zipwall is used for screening off areas but plasterers whilst using it have also commented on another great use – holding plasterboard up on ceilings.

Another application for this fantastic product.

Often when plaster boarding ceilings, a lot of dust and dirt can be created – particularly from taking down older ceilings – so the Zipwall is also good for screening too.
