What Are The Best Types Of Carpet Protection?

Firstly whenever doing any maintenance work you should always try and remove the carpets in the surrounding areas or even better, complete the work before laying the carpet in the first place. This is by far the best way to ensure your carpet remains in its finest condition and is not spoilt by the development work being carried out.

Obviously it is not always possible to completely remove the carpets, due to the constraints of time, cost and the stage you have reached with the work that is being carried out.

When looking to protect you carpet you should look at the work you are about to embark on and the risks associated with it. If you are looking to paint a room, then you need to make sure you choose a type of carpet protection that is waterproof and spill resistant so to ensure that you don't get paint on the carpet. If ladders are involved then it would be wise to look at non slip sheets or ensuring that you can fix whatever protection you've got firmly to the floor. If you're looking to paint stairways then the self adhesive sheets are a really good choice. Loose sheets on the stairs are a definite health and safety issue and can cause more problems than having no carpet protection at all.

If your development work is more substantial and there is a greater chance of high impact on the floor that would tear the thinner types of carpet protector, mesh sheeting is definitely the best choice. They come in many forms but are generally interwoven for strength and durability, whilst also being waterproof and slip resistant.

Due to the increased risk of fire during any building process the majority of products on the market today are flame retardant and approved to the LPS1207 standard.

If you're working on a project that requires every aspect of the work you do and the material you use to look professional, then having your carpet protection custom printed with your company name and logo is a really nice touch and is a great way of advertising on larger projects. This type of service is only available from some of the more well established carpet protection suppliers.

I hope this article aids with your decision making process when you are choosing the type of carpet protection to go for, if not, thank you for reading anyway.
