Heavy-Duty Carpet Protector – Strong Self-Adhesive Floor Protector – Premium Plastic Carpet Floor Covering - Waterproof Carpet Roll - Easy Unwind Plastic Carpet Protector - Safety Cutter Included…

As a professional painter and decorator, I use this type of product regularly and have tried several brands. This is definitely my favourite. It doesn’t adhere to itself as readily as some brands and so is easier to apply. I used my Stanley knife to cut it rather than the supplied cutter, just because that’s how I’m used to doing it. Putting the stuff down definitely takes a bit of practice so if you’ve not applied it before, maybe order a bit over what you think you’ll need so that you’ve got margin for error.I always assess the floor before I start, to decide which direction to go etc. This avoids ending up in a tricky corner. Try to take it slow and keep it straight, using the skirting board or furniture as a guide.This carpet protector does allow the use of a ladder/hop up without holes appearing…most of the time. I have had the odd tear but just patch over it with a bit of masking tape and it’s fine. I find that it stays in place well for the week that I need it to whilst redecorating a customer’s room. It’s also better for hall, stairs and landing than dust sheets because it’s less of a trip hazard.If you’re laying it on the stairs, make sure you bring into the back edge of each tread otherwise it’ll get in the way when you’re walking upstairs.Make sure you vacuum thoroughly before laying it because if you don’t, the dust will stick to the adhesive rather than the carpet and the film will be loose.When removing the film, I find it best to pull a small amount at a time to stop it from pulling the carpet off its moorings. I roll it up as I go so that it doesn’t take up too much room in the bin.The only thing that I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t have a separate piece of non-sticky film to protect it. This is useful because you can just peel it off, save it and wrap the roll back up when you’re done. This one has its non sticky bit attached to the roll so you have to do a bit of juggling to cut it off and put to one side. It’s not a massive issue though and this product is now my ‘go-to’ carpet protector.

This is good quality, easy to stick down and fully protects the flooring underneath. Not cheap but I’d definitely recommend.

I am using rhis to protect carpet from all the mess of the wallpaper removal process. Seems to be very sturdy and indeed water resistant. I have struggled to install it, especially on the edges, which is mainly due to the awkward angles, the product sticking to itself and making it hard to move in the placement I needed, also the cutter tool they give you is handy but again not so seamless to use. It is worth mentioning I have no experience with any of this, nor have I ever used a similar product to be able to say how it compares, so it's not to say that this particular carpet protector is difficult to install, but maybe it's the nature of the product and also my limited experience as perhaps a professional would have an easier time using it. All in all, it does do the job well and has good quality. I hope once I remove it from the carpets it won't leave a sticky residue, so might have to update my review once I take them off.

Stuck to the carpet perfectly, protected it from paint, dust and everything else! Very thick and did not pierce even with ladder etc. Only downfall is that it stuck to the carpet too well, when lifting it was lifting the carpet out and pulled out a dozen or so strands of wool/cotton.

You are provided with a cutter that cuts the sheet really well and the protection sheet really does stick to carpet brilliantly. It's so easy to remove also.Product does as described in sale.

Very strong plastic and very sticky used to protect new carpet while moving house and lots left will use when painting next

The media could not be loaded.  I could not get this to unstick. I tried laying it flat on the floor and getting help to pull, but it just would not unstick of the row. I wasted most of it as it kept sticking together once I managed to unravel a little bit. waste of money and time. Unless this was a faulty batch I would not recommend it to anyone.

It covers any carpet, bannisters well and us very string so it won't move or tear when walking on it. I used it on carpet and left it for 3 weeks or so, within the specified timelune, It was very difficult to remove without pulling the carpet up and left a residue i cannot remove. Its heavy duty but i would not use again on carpet ir where the finish could be damaged, protected oak bannister very well.
