Carpet Protector Roll - Self Adhesive Carpet Protection Film - 45cm x 50m

Saved our carpets! Absolutely worth the money. Easy to use. Would buy again! Sticks really well and easy to remove from carpets. Not sure about wooden floors.

Excellent job. Stayed in place firmly and protected my carpet entirely. Did not tear or puncture and I had ladders on it and it was in place for over a week. It was still very sticky on removal but lifted no problem. I would definitely use this again and I would definitely recommend it. Covered my 28 sq metre living room. I overlapped it more than necessary. Well worth every penny. Delivered quickly and very easy to cut.

This probably needs two people to apply- trying to do it solo got in a tangle now and again. The product is thick as desired so can walk on without piercing or drifting. It has an odour of petroleum jelly so although it can be left for a period of time I wouldn’t want to leave it in situ for any longer than necessary. I have applied this prior to building work to protect carpet fibres and hoping that this will be the belt to the contractors braces/ precautions. Work is complete and I would highly recommend this product, I would definitely use it again my carpet has remained like new, no traces of dust or dirt.

Very sticky and strong 👍

Having subjected it to a pretty serious test I thought I'd write a review. Laid it in October, took it up in March. One main room plus stairs/landings and bits of 3 other rooms. So 5 different age/type/value carpets and some vinyl. The carpet in the main room was completely covered. I knew I'd need a bench so made an area of cardboard sandwiched between 2 layers of this stuff for a workmate & me to stand on while eg deglazing and rebuilding sash windows, mixing plaster and so on. There was a lot of work done in that room, including using the windows to access scaffolding, so heavy tools and boots etc. At one point I had to lift some of the carpet to get under the floor, and this stuff stayed attached and it all went back down fine. It's stood up remarkably well, very few punctures, and the carpets all look fine afterwards. Mostly when it came up it pulled off tiny fibres but nothing substantial. There is a slight sticky residue on hard surfaces, vinyl etc, but I can't feel anything on the carpets. After a few days the covered areas are still cleaner than uncovered bits, so I don't think there's a sticky surface to attract dust. tips: the cardboard worked really well, I'll do that again; don't use a vacuum cleaner, it lifts the plastic; when laying think about overlaps so that all sweeping can be done in one direction to avoid lifting edges with a broom; don't use every last bit of the roll, keep some back for repairs (oops!).

It's not indestructible, but it's seriously helpful if you have building work going on or handy to have if you need some temporary protection. It takes some getting used to since it's a lot like having a giant sticky roll of cling film but if it's any help I find it easier to handle. You can lay flat surfaces alone but I recommend two of you if you're tackling stairs since it'll be hard to get into the corners. A long round object like a hoover attachment is helpful to smooth it along as you go. Despite some tears it did a sterling job of protecting carpet over three weeks of builders traipsing up and down. Taking it up will pull on the carpet due to the adhesive so consider the type of carpet you have and get help to keep it down as you pull. On the plus side, took up all the dust and dirt that might've been there in the first place.

My Use: Protecting a newly fitted carpet from touching up the paintwork of slightly marked skirting board after the carpet had been fitted. Initially this was quite easy to put down, it is forgivable in the sense that if you've just put it down you can pull it back up and re-fit it. This was important for me because I needed to get as close to the skirting board as possible. I put this down around the perimeter of the room and after painting left if for a day before removing it. I then started to slowly pull it up and I noticed in parts it was really stuck down. I then noticed the carpet had some of its pile pulled out completely, and partially - meaning there were large amounts of half pulled out pile giving a very uneven texture on the carpet. Obviously I was livid, the carpet looked brand new and fresh a day ago and now looked like rubbish. I had to actually get down to the carpet and try and even the pile out by giving a sort of hair cut with a sharp pair of scissors but this was able to disguise the disaster a little bit. I bought the largest roll of this because the whole house requires renovation, what a waste of money. This was an expensive carpet, if you have loop pile or something like that then the product might be okay, but frankly I would say this is simply not worth the risk. Instead of wasting my money on this product, I went down to my local charity shop and bought some thick heavy curtains for £3. Cheaper, easier to use and - doesn't ruin your carpet.

Once it’s down it dose the job, however I found it difficult to unroll without creasing,
