Trio Plus – Protecting the floors of the nation

With house prices falling 0.9% last month, it increasingly makes financial sense to improve an existing property rather than try to sell and then move up the property ladder. Equally, for those who need to sell a home, renovation and modernisation is often the only choice to speed up sale prospects. This lack of confidence in the property market and increasingly tighter budgets has led to an upturn in fortunes for the DIY industry, with thousands of home-owners heading to the superstores to stock up on paints and wallpaper.

They all have one thing in common, a need to improve the decor of their property while at the same time protecting their fixtures and fittings. After buying paint and paper and planning a redesign, temporary floor protection must be the next item on the shopping list. Trio Plus stocks a huge range of floor protection products which can ensure carpets and vinyl flooring remain undamaged during the renovation process.

It makes sense to provide as much protection as possible, because a spillage of paint, for example, can completely ruin a room. Even a small amount can spread widely, and will prove extremely difficult to remove. In most cases it’s impossible to restore a floor or carpet to its former glory after a DIY disaster – prevention rather than cure is the only sensible route for the serious DIY enthusiast with a list of home improvements to complete.

One of the most popular and useful floor protection products currently available is Tacback, a tough, hard-wearing plastic that is sold in rolls. It’s puncture-resistant and is ideal for laying over carpets and hardwood flooring. It can be cut to the required length quickly and easily, and is resistant to any amount of human traffic.

The cost of carpeting is extremely high these days, so the relatively small outlay needed for carpet protection products can prove to be the wisest investment. Carpet protector for stairs is also a wise choice, because replacement is not only expensive, but can be difficult to fit, pushing up the cost of repairs to unplanned heights.

Hard floor protection is also equally vital, because a single paint stain can stand out like a sore thumb, especially if it’s a bright colour.

Many modern paints contain chemical additives which make them particularly difficult to clean, especially on a carpet. Protection film can be applied in minutes to any floor surface, from heavy carpets to smooth hardwood sheeting. A few pounds spent at Trio Plus can save a small fortune in a matter of minutes.

Trio Plus also supplies a useful self-adhesive multi-use protection film which can be applied to hard flooring and other items, such as cabinets, worktops and wall tiles. There’s no longer any need to worry about permanently damaging surfaces around the home, thanks to the range of superb products from Trio Plus.

When painting and varnishing around windows, one slip of the brush can result in a stain that may never disappear. The self-adhesive film will protect glass and frames and can be left in situ for up to 45 days.
