Take The Stress Out Of Moving House With Trio Plus


Moving house has become renowned as one of the most stressful periods in any person's life, right up there with getting married and having a baby. Packing up all possessions and transporting them to an entirely new location is a time-consuming and stress-filled task, especially when trying to keep everything in pristine condition. Not only do all possessions need to be delicately packed, care must also be taken to protect the floors of both the old and the new house during the moving process. Trio Plus, one of the UK's leading suppliers of temporary floor protection products, have been supplying goods to prestigious house and office removal firm Pickfords since 2005 along with several other specialist removal firms.

The carpet and hard floor protection products available from Trio Plus are an ideal way to make sure the floors of old and new properties remain unspoilt. Available for use in both domestic and commercial environments, temporary floor protection helps to guard against everything from spillages and mud to heavy footfalls, both of which are almost unavoidable when moving. Pickfords aren't the only removal company who have come to discover the practicality and convenience of Trio Plus' products; a number of other firms, including Hamiltons of Edinburgh, have also placed large orders to aid their removal services.

Trio Plus is able to provide both temporary hard floor protection and temporary carpet protection. The hard floor protection is made up of a fleece material, which does not break up and is easy to sweep clean. The fleece absorbs all spillages in the same way a sponge might, ensuring the floor underneath remains untouched. Ram Board is also available to protect hard floors; the advantages of this product being that it can be laid as soon as the floor goes down – perfect if a new floor is being laid ready for arrival at a new property.

Temporary carpet protection is equally as handy, with its non-skid surface and puncture resistant layer. The water-based adhesive used on all of Trio Plus' products is eco-friendly and, leaves absolutely no marks or traces when removed.

Also available from Trio Plus are products such as Tackymats, which remove all dirt from shoes, wheels and even pet's paws; perfect for entering a controlled environment or a brand new home.

Trio Plus Ram Board To Be Used In Three Hotel Refurbs


Ram Board, the revolutionary American temporary hard floor protector available exclusively in the UK from Trio Plus, is to be used in three major hotel refurbishments.

The Chancery Court Hotel is a luxury 5 star property in High Holborn. Known for its ultra-indulgent rooms and suites and just a few minutes walk from Covent Garden, the hotel prides itself on its five star service. It will be using temporary hard floor protection to protect its marble and stone floors during building works.

Carlton Tower Place on London’s Sloane Street has also placed an order for Ram Board, and will use the US-made temporary floor protector to protect its hard floors during renovations. A second order of temporary carpet protection will also ensure the carpeted areas remain clean and free of potentially damaging builders materials, paint spills, heavy foot traffic and debris as the improvements get underway.

The third hotel to make use of Ram Board floor protection during building work is the new Premier Inn at Dartford. The popular hotel chain will use the hard floor protection to allow works to go on without damaging any new or existing floors.

Designed for the tough conditions of US construction sites, Ram Board is a heavy duty temporary floor protector made entirely from recycled materials. Manufactured in California and only available in the UK from Trio Plus, Ram Board is both water proof and durable, proven capable of sustaining the weight of a fork lift truck without damage to the floor underneath.

Ram Board is supplied on a roll for quick application. It stays flat once laid and can be removed quickly to leave no residue. Unlike some hard floor protection products, Ram Board is vapour permeable, which means it can be used to protect floors that have only just been laid.

Trio Plus Premium Floor Protection Used To Refurbish Oxfordshire Manor


A stunning ancient manor on the banks of the River Thames recently underwent a large refurbishment. The magnificent manor of Bampton village has been recorded as a royal settlement as early as the 8th century and has a rich history and legacy to preserve. Refurbishments and re-fits have taken place in the current manor house since the late 17th century but this project endeavoured to be much more careful and respectful of the building's history. Trio Plus, one of the UK's leading specialists in hard floor and carpet protection, contributed to the project by safeguarding the precious floors throughout the manor whilst the refurbishment went ahead.

The hard wood floor protectors provided by Trio Plus are excellent for use in both commercial and domestic situations, with their ability to soak up spillages like a sponge and to shelter the floors underneath from dirt or grime which may accumulate during the process of a refurbishment. With a layer of fleece and a polythene backing, it makes it almost impossible for harmful or damaging liquids to penetrate the floor protector. The material will not break up and is easy to sweep clean and maintain while it is in use.

The hard wood protection materials are all re-usable (although if you're working with carpet, the self-adhesive films are single use). The rolls issued by Trio Plus are also made from an anti-slip material, which is perfect for situations where there will be heavy footfall and lots of activity. The actual adhesive used to hold the protection product in place is both eco-friendly and water-based, to ensure that no residue is left behind (providing the users stick to the recommended usage time) and making them much safer than many other temporary hard floor protection products on the market. The recommended time for the products to be left in place varies between the many products which Trio Plus have on offer, but the basic advice is that 5 weeks is the maximum amount of time for the products to be used. Any longer than this would risk transfer of the adhesive.

Trio Plus' extensive carpet and floor protection range is perfect for such delicate projects where items of historical value are involved. The specific product used to refurbish the grand 18th-century manor house was the Trio Plus Fleece Hard Floor Protection. 750m² of the premium floor protection product was used in order to keep the floors of Bampton Manor looking their best after the refurbishment.

Trio Plus Supplies Temporary Floor Protection Products To Another Prestigious London Address


Temporary floor protection products supplier Trio Plus has added another landmark London address to its portfolio following confirmation that its heavy duty carpet protection film will be used during works at the Lloyd’s Building.

The iconic modernist masterpiece, designed by noted architect Richard Rogers, celebrates its 25th birthday this year. One of the most recognisable components of the London skyline, the Lloyds Building is an integral part of the insurance firm’s image and embodies the Lloyd’s brand.

As part of the commission, Rogers placed all of the building’s services from wash rooms to lifts on the exterior, specifically to allow the interior of the space to be remodelled and adapted to market changes. With works now taking place inside the building, Trio Plus heavy duty carpet protection film will be used to protect the floor covering from dirt, dust, mess and builder’s materials.

A total of 4000 m2 temporary carpet protection will be used during the internal works. The transparent film is supplied on rolls and can be quickly applied to large areas of carpet by hand or by applicator. Like all Trio Plus temporary floor protection products it is highly durable and puncture resistant and can be left in place for up to 45 days. The water-based eco-friendly adhesive leaves no residue behind on the carpet when removed. Non skid, the carpet protector is suitable and safe for use in busy areas.

A standard version of the carpet protection film is also available. Suited to homes and businesses, it too can be left in place for a month and a half and will protect the carpets underneath from dirt, dust, spills and heavy foot traffic. For delicate carpets including very old and valuable rugs, Trio Plus Ram Board, a unique hard floor protection product direct from the USA, offers impenetrable protection with no adhesive.

Trio Plus Premium Floor Protection Used For Three Popular TV Shows


Trio Plus, one of the country's leading suppliers of temporary floor protection products, has been selected to supply a number of products for the second series of Granada TV's acclaimed show, 'Scott and Bailey'. Starring Lesley Sharp and Suranne Jones, the show enjoyed a successful run in 2011 and is due to return in 2012, with Trio Plus assigned to supply hard floor and carpet protection during the process, which will be filmed in a series of locations around Manchester.

Scott and Bailey is not the only TV show Trio Plus has been appointed to cover this month. One of the country's most popular soaps, 'Eastenders', will also be using Trio Plus' range this week, specifically 300m² of their floor protection products for a special location shoot. The hardwearing products are perfect for guarding both hard floors and carpets from the heavy cameras and the many footfalls which could damage delicate flooring on a long day of filming. Whether protecting a hard floor or a carpet, all of Trio Plus' products are easy to fit, easy to remove and inexpensive.

Even Hollywood is getting in on the act, with the special effects department from the HBO drama 'Game Of Thrones' recently acquiring 1000m² of Trio Plus' finest temporary hard wood floor protection with premium fleece, for use in a huge scene in the production. The show is based around knights and renegades battling for the throne in the medieval age, so naturally the floors need to be extremely well protected from all of the heavy armour, props and special effects machinery used on such a set. The felt topside of the fleece product soaks up any spills or moisture, absorbing all fluids like a sponge.

As the filming process for location scenes and special effects shots take a few weeks, emphasis has to be placed on keeping the carpets and floors underneath in excellent condition, ready for when the temporary floor protection is removed. Trio Plus use an exclusive water-based adhesive which carries absolutely no risk of adhesive transfer on any of the recommended surfaces it is used on. The protection can be left in place for anything up to five weeks, giving the filming crews plenty of time to shoot their action shots. Supplied on handy rolls, there are two types of carpet protection available – standard or heavy-duty. Available in a huge range of widths and lengths, Trio Plus are confident that they can meet the needs of anyone looking to protect their flooring for a temporary period.

Trio Plus Premium Hard Floor Protection Product Chosen By St. Mary’s College Twickenham

Trio Plus premium hard floor protection products has been chosen by St. Mary’s University College Twickenham to protect their floors during an opening ceremony attended by an Olympic gold medal winner.

The new £8.25 million sports block will be officially opened by Sir Sebastian Coe. The ceremony will mark the end of extensive development and renovation works, carried out to upgrade and unify the school’s existing sports facilities. It includes a state-of-the-art fitness suite and high performance sports hall including badminton courts, cricket lanes, basketball, netball and handball courts.

The premium white fleece picked by the college to protect their sports floors during the official unveiling is one of four hard floor protection products stocked by Trio Plus. Designed with a felt topside backed by a non-abrasive layer on the underside, the fleece is tough, durable, anti-slip and can withstand heavy foot traffic, spills and dirt – making it the ideal choice for such a high-profile event.

The premium hard floor protection fleece can be left in place for up to 45 days, allowing ample time for extra seating and ceremony furniture to be safely removed without scuffing or otherwise damaging the new sports surfaces. Self-adhesive and eco-friendly, it leaves no residue when it is removed, protecting the integrity of the floor when peeled back.

Trio Plus Carpet Protection Products Chosen For New TV Drama

When a floor needs to be protected in a commercial or domestic situation, Trio Plus is the first stop for the answer. Providing puncture-resistant, super-strength carpet protectors, Trio Plus' products are state of the art and this has not gone unnoticed. Osterley Park & House is a stunning 18th century mansion in Middlesex which has chosen the products of Trio Plus to help to protect its valuable stair carpets during the filming of a new TV drama, “Parades End”.

The heavy-duty carpet protection film was chosen to protect the stunning and valuable carpets at the house from spillage, impact, debris and foot traffic. The heavy cameras, lighting and sound equipment used to film a TV drama could cause extensive damage to such delicate and fragile carpets, and so the self-adhesive floor protection products are needed to ensure they are kept in pristine condition.

The protection can be left in place for up to 5 weeks and the adhesive itself is water-based, leaving absolutely no chance of transfer or damage. Most other temporary floor protection products on the market are made from a petroleum-based adhesive, which, if left longer than 5 weeks, can be difficult to remove.

The carpet protection products from Trio Plus come in a whole range of different sizes, from 10 metres to 100 metres, with widths ranging from 40cm to 120cm, ensuring maximum adaptability and the capacity to cover even the most intricate of spaces. This can be essential in the environment of a country house, as they are often not conventionally designed and it is imperative all of the carpets are completely covered. As well as being extremely versatile, Trio Plus' range of self-adhesive protection film is eco-friendly, at a time when carbon footprints are ever at the forefront of our minds and in the thoughts of TV crews, commercial or domestic users of carpet protection.

Supplied in handy rolls and with same day or next day delivery, Trio Plus also boasts the widest range of products for this sort of job. As well as heavy-duty carpet protection, Trio Plus also offers a range of hardwood floor, glass and window protection, with accessories such as disposable overshoes and Tackymat, which removes dirt from shoes and equipment before entering an area.

Soaps and Dramas: A Week In The Life of Trio Plus

Temporary floor protection specialist Trio Plus has helped hit television soap Hollyoaks and a new BBC period drama, Bert & Dickie avoid damage to floors during filming while on location this month. A number of Trio Plus products were selected to assist with on-set protection as the shows filmed crucial scenes away from their usual production venues.

The Hollyoaks set needed heavy duty carpet protection film to protect carpets on location. The majority of carpet protection products on offer from Trio Plus are reverse wound, which means they are easy to apply and use. When used on a busy production shoot such as the Hollyoaks location scenes, temporary carpet protection is a failsafe way to keep the set clean and the underlying floor protected from debris, spills and the impact of heavy foot traffic.

The new BBC drama Bert & Dickie made use of the premium fleece temporary hard floor protection while on location this month. The show has been commissioned by the BBC following a number of successful BAFTA wins for dramas made by the broadcaster. This new period drama goes back to 1948, six weeks before the final of the London Olympics and tells the story of two Olympic hopefuls and the story of the capital at a fragile time in British history.

One of four types of hard floor protection stocked by Trio Plus, the premium fleece temporary floor protector is self adhesive and eco-friendly. With a felt topside and anti-abrasive, non-woven layer it can protect hard floors for up to 45 consecutive days and be removed quickly and easily to leave no residue.

A favourite of TV production crews, Trio Plus temporary floor protection products are available in a number of formulations, including economy, standard and premium for a range of budgets and requirements from heavy duty building work, use in commercial properties and around the home during renovations or parties.

Surrey Firm Becomes First UK Supplier of Revolutionary American Hard Floor Protection Product

A Surrey business has become the first in the country to stock a revolutionary new American floor protection product.

Trio Plus received its first shipment of the US-made Ram Board, a unique temporary hard floor protector ideal for use during building projects, renovations and DIY work earlier this week. The delivery makes it the only company in the UK to stock the heavy duty temporary floor protection, manufactured in California and sold through 1000 stores in the USA and Canada.

Originally designed to protect floors from the heavy demands of the Hollywood movie industry, the super strength hard floor protection has been used on sets in Blockbusters like Armageddon, The Hulk, Spiderman and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Despite what the name may suggest, Ram Board is supplied in rolls, which makes it easy to transport around a site. Made entirely from recycled materials, Ram Board is water proof and durable – tests have proven that it is strong enough to sustain a forklift truck being driven over it. It can be laid quickly thanks to its handy roll format and will stay flat when applied. The board can be removed just as easily and won’t leave any residue or mark on the floor underneath when the Ram Board is taken up.

Richard Scrannage, managing director of Trio Plus said, “We are always on the look out for tough new products to protect floors in homes and workplaces and they don’t come much tougher than Ram Board. Already a brand name in the USA, Trio Plus is delighted to be the only UK stockist of this product. We expect it to be a big hit with builders and contractors who need reliable, temporary floor protection that can be installed quickly and removed with the minimum of fuss at the end of the job. “

Unlike some hard floor protection products, Ram Board is vapour permeable, which means it can be used to protect floors that have only just been laid. Its porous material allows vapours from the adhesive to escape and the wood to breathe. Designed in conjunction with engineers, architects and constructors, it allows floors to cure while also providing heavy duty protection against ongoing works.

Ram Board is made with trademarked Flex-Fiber™ technology, making it the number one floor protection product of choice for US building contractors. Recognised as a ‘green building’ product by a number of US magazines, the product has been rigorously tested in tough conditions across thousands of building sites and film sets. It can be used to protect wood, tile, concrete, marble terrazzo, stone, VCT and epoxy.

Trio Plus Supplies Carpet Protection To Leading Historic Building Conservation Expert

Trio Plus, the commercial and residential floor protection products retailer has added another string to its bow with the news that it will supply a leading historic building conservation firm with a temporary carpet protection film.

Trio Plus’ carpet protection will provide the building conservation team with a no-fuss, durable, reliable way to protect flooring while works are ongoing to restore facades and interiors to their former glory. The firm works on famed properties including St Pauls Cathedral, making trusted, tough floor protection an essential part of their toolkit.

Having recently been used in a House of Fraser Department store during a refurbishment and to protect classroom carpets during a summer of arts and craft’s activity at the John Lyon School in Harrow, the self-adhesive carpet protection film has already proven its worth in the toughest of tests.

Available in both standard and heavy duty versions, the temporary carpet protector provides up to 45 days protection for carpets and rugs. It is designed to provide a protective barrier between rugs or carpets and dust, dirt, spills and mess during renovation and building work but is equally effective in protecting flooring from heavy foot traffic during special events.

The film is self-adhesive and can be applied either by hand or by applicator and then removed at the end of the job just as easily with no residue left behind. The surface of the protector is non slip, making it safe for use in busy public areas and areas such as hallways and staircases.

Prestigious School Chooses Trio Plus Floor Protection Products For Summer Holiday Crafts Tuition

As any parent knows, the arrival of the summer holidays can signal the start of six weeks’ worth of mess and struggles to keep the kids entertained. For one boy’s school in Harrow, the mess potential is turbo charged thanks to their arts and crafts tuition programme , taking place throughout the school holidays.

The venue is one of the top twenty boy’s day schools in the country and runs summer holidays activities each year. The school found that its carpets bore the brunt of creative hobbies last year with paint spillages, glue, dirt, liquid and heavy foot traffic ruining the carpets in a number of classrooms.

This year, the school has called in the experts to ensure students in the area can still explore their artistic sides without the cost of a whole new carpet by ordering a special temporary carpet protection from the experts at Trio Plus.

The Trio Plus Heavy Duty Carpet Protection Film, supplied on jumbo roles of 120 cm x 100m, has been rolled out over the carpet in each classroom, so the summer school students can be as creative as they want with arts and crafts and the school doesn’t need to worry about damage to its flooring.

The Heavy Duty Carpet Protection film from Trio Plus is ideal for covering large areas quickly, making it suitable for use in any number of public spaces. The film is rolled out and can be fitted quickly and easily by hand. It features an eco-friendly self-adhesive backing so isn’t fiddly to use and won’t leave a residue when removed.

The surface of the film is non slip so it is safe to be used in busy areas without any danger of trip hazards. It is also highly durable and puncture resistant and can stay in place for up to 45 days. While the school opted for a heavy duty protector due to the busy nature of its arts and crafts programme, trio Plus carpet protection is also available in standard, which is suitable for use in the home and workplace during renovations, DIY and decorating projects.

Landmark London Buildings Choose Trio Plus Floor Protection Products

Two landmark London buildings have taken pre-emptive steps to safeguard their floors during planned renovation work this summer. Both the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Royal College of Art have purchased red multi use floor protection film from specialist flooring protection firm, Trio Plus.

Described as the best art and design museum on the planet, the Victoria and Albert museum collections are housed in a building dating back to 1855. Playing host to iconic pieces from the worlds of fashion, photography, sculpture, ceramics and more, the V and A building is a capital hub for style and culture. Protecting its 156 year old floors during building work is of historical importance. The question of how to avoid damage from heavy foot traffic, paint, liquid spills and builder’s mess was solved with the acquisition of several rolls of red multi use protection film from temporary floor protection experts Trio Plus.

Nurturing talent and creating future masterpieces that may one day reside in the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Royal College of Art is the most launched postgraduate art and design school in the world. Located close to the V and A building in Kensington, the Royal College of Art is a focal point for the creative industries. Recognising that the gallery floors would need to be protected from paint splashes, dust and other mess during repainting, the College purchased 1200 m2 of multi use protection film.

Designed by Surrey-based Trio Plus, the multi use protection film being used in both locations is a practical polyethylene film provided in a roll form. Suitable for use on windows, mirrors, cabinets, hardware, appliances and countertops as well as tile floors, factory finished hardwood, metal and high-gloss surfaces the film is cushioned and non-slip, making it safe for use in high-traffic areas.

As with all Trio Plus carpet protection and hard floor protection products, the red multi use film can be left on site for 45 days. The eco-friendly self-adhesive backing means there’s no residue or marks left behind when the film is removed.

Trio of BBC Show Productions Now Using Trio Plus Floor Protection Products on Location

When you settle down to watch one of your favourite shows this autumn, spare a thought for the cast and crew who have spent hours on location to get a shot just right. With on location scenes critical to plot development, three separate BBC production teams have turned to Trio Plus to help protect valuable floors at a number of locations set for starring roles in three shows.

Casualty, Waterloo Road and the new TV adaption of Great Expectations have all been shooting away from the BBC studios at a number of locations. In order to protect the floors at these properties from damage caused by heavy foot traffic, dirt, mud and spillages, the BBC production teams choose Trio Plus premier hard floor protection fleece, carpet protection film and regular hard floor protection products during filming.

The cast and crew of hospital drama Casualty are no stranger to location shooting. For an upcoming episode, one of their filming locations boasted valuable hard floors that needed to be protected during the shoot. The production team used Trio Plus Premium Hard Floor Protection. The felt topside is backed by a white anti-abrasive non-woven layer, which prevents fluids or dirt from penetrating through to the underlying wood. The eco-friendly self adhesive makes the fleece easy to fix into place. It can be swept clean while in use and then taken up and stored for re-use at a later date.

The new TV adaption of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, which is due to air in three parts on BBC1 at Christmas, had a similar problem during location shoots. The period drama required filming at a number of stately locations, calling for premium hard floor protection during shooting to protect the valuable hard floors.

School saga Waterloo Road chose two separate Trio Plus products during filming of the new series. The production team ordered carpet protection and hard floor protection products to assist with location care during filming.

Summer Floor Savers For Social Soirees

According to a recent survey, a whopping 17 million Brits are planning to forgo a summer holiday this year. The study by an insurance firm found that most had even nixed the idea of a staycation – a phrase coined to mean a holiday spent within the UK. In fact, 88% of those missing out on a holiday in the last three years said they would normally holiday in the UK. The current economic climate is being blamed for the rise in missed holidays, meaning peak summer months July and August are more likely than ever to be spent at home.

The temporary floor protection specialists, Trio Plus, suggest an alternative to a fortnight spent in front of the telly and are encouraging those staying at home to recreate an easygoing holiday vibe by hosting a garden party, BBQ or mock beach party at home. With millions of others also sticking close to home, the guest list is sure to be easy to fill.

While holiday hotspots in favourite destinations such as Spain and France are almost guaranteed sunshine, the British weather is a lot harder to predict. That means BBQs and garden parties can be sun drenched one minute and a washout the next. Rather than risk trekking mud and dirt from the garden into the house when everyone rushes indoors, place the TrioPlus Tackymat by the door. The sticky mats capture dirt as foot traffic passes over the surface of the mat. The non-transferring adhesive grips the dirt particles, keeping the floor within free of garden debris and muddy footprints. An ideal floor protection solution, the Tackymat has a number of surfaces which can be peeled off to reveal a clean new layer.

For more extensive coverage, TrioPlus also offer hard floor protection and carpet protection both of which will provide ample coverage against mud, dirt, heavy foot traffic, spilled food and drink. The firm’s self-adhesive carpet protector is available in standard and heavy duty variations and can be used anywhere from the kitchen and lounge to rugs, stairs and hallway. Supplied on a roll it is quick and easy to apply and remove and leaves no residue when taken up.

With a choice of four hard floor protection products, canapés and cocktails pose no threat no matter how clumsy the party guest. The felt topside is designed to absorb spillages like a sponge, so the liquid can’t penetrate to the flooring below. When the party is over, simply roll up ready to be re-used at the next social soiree.

Trio Plus Products Protect The Floors of the Portuguese Embassy During Wine Showcase

Temporary floor protection products specialist Trio Plus have helped The Portuguese Embassy to protect their floors from the perils of wine during an international Wines of Portugal event.

Red wine in particular is known for its stain potential and is a recipe for disaster when combined with crowds and carpets. During the 50 Great Portuguese Wines tasting event at the Belgrave Square residence, a host of well-known wine critics, press and gourmets descended on the building to sample dozens of red and white wines from Portugal. The annual event showcases the wine producing nation’s best offerings, allowing critics and consumers alike to learn more about the diversity of wines bottled by the Iberian nation.

While the wine tasting is a highlight of the calendar for many associated with Portuguese trade and commerce, the potential for damage to carpets and flooring is high. To avoid unnecessary spillages and protect carpets from stains and dirt, the Portuguese Ambassador to London personally selected the Trio Plus carpet protection product over other products to give total peace of mind.

Trio’s Heavy Duty Carpet Protection Film is the ideal temporary carpet protector for food and wine events – whether on a large scale such as the Viniportugal annual showcase or a smaller summer gathering for friends and family. Available in both standard and heavy duty formats, the carpet protection self-adhesive film provides up to 45 days coverage for carpets and rugs and is easily applied by hand or applicator.

Suitable for use in areas that see heavy foot traffic such as reception rooms, hallways, stairs and kitchens, the carpet protector is just one in a range of floor protection products from Trio Plus. With its choice of coverings for carpet, hard floors and old or valuable floors, the Surrey-based firm supplies homes and businesses throughout the UK. It is a favourite of homeowners carrying out DIY and needing to protect floors from dirt, dust and builders mess as well as TV and film production companies required to safeguard the floors of their location shoots.

Floor Protection Essential When Carrying Out Works To Help A Property Sell

House prices will tumble 1.4% by the end of the year, according to a report issued this week by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR). With the prospect of a buyers rather than seller’s market looming large for the next six months, a well presented, well maintained property stands a much better chance of being sold for a reasonable amount than one marketed as a work in progress.

Trio Plus, the temporary floor protection specialists, advise homeowners having difficulty generating interest in their property to bite the bullet and freshen up the interior in order to have the best possible chance of making a sale. Richard Scrannage, managing director of Trio Plus said, “For home owners who need to sell their house, there are so many depressing reports, stats and figures floating about that it can be extremely difficult to work up any enthusiasm for extra sinking money into renovations and home improvements.

“Not only have the CEBR projected further drops in prices but Generation Rent also published this week shows 2/3rds of non homeowners are uncertain about getting a foot on the property ladder and may well continue to rent rather than buy. All of this means homes being put up for sale need to look as good as possible in order to stand a chance of finding a buyer.”

While big changes such as new bathrooms and kitchens top many a buyer wish list and are thought to add the most to the value of a home, other smaller tweaks can also make the difference with a new coat of paint, landscaping in the garden, loft conversions or new energy efficient boilers and insulations also helping to make a property more desirable. The key is to save money on non-essential improvements and that means making existing features are adequately protected during any works.

When builders move in to carry out improvements intended to help a property sell, it is important that adequate hard floor protection and temporary carpet protection are used. Protecting flooring from paint spills and builders mess removes the need to splash out on new laminate or carpets. This helps to shave cash off the renovation budget and makes the eventual asking price of the house that much more profitable.

The Trio Plus temporary hard floor protection fleece protects hard words from spillages, with a felt topside and polythene backing soaking up liquids and providing a barrier against spillage before they can penetrate through to the floor itself. As the rolls are reusable they are also a cost effective floor protection solution in properties with wide scale changes being made or in the case of a move followed by works in the new house.

Carpets can also be damaged by fluid, paint spills and the dirt and dust associated with home improvements. Those intending to sell can ensure the house remains in a ready to be viewed state by applying a temporary carpet protector. The Trio Plus temporary carpet protection film provides 45 days worth of cover and can be applied by hand or by applicator. It is suitable for use in any area of the home where carpet is present including the kitchen, hallway and stairs. A heavy duty version is also available.

All Trio Plus floor protection products are eco-friendly and do not leave a residue when removed.

Trio Plus Offers Correx Sheeting

Trio Plus, the temporary floor protection products specialist, has introduced a new range of Correx sheeting. The website has recently sold 6000m2 of its Correx Fluted plastic sheets to one of the world’s biggest advertising agencies, Partizan.com, for a “Dream Beds” commercial.

The new temporary hard floor protector is also one of the biggest sellers in the Trio Plus online store, both via the main website and its eBay page.

The Surrey firm offers Correx plastic floor protection products for the protection of hard floors and multiple surfaces. The sheets are manufactured in 2mm/250gsm thick extruded polypropylene fluted sheets. These sheets, which are available in packs of five or ten for free next working day delivery via TNT couriers, are designed for the quick protection of large areas and are a superb means of protection for more expensive flooring. Widely used in DIY refurbishment, building and professional and construction projects, the sheets are a cost-effective alternative to such long-used materials as plywood or cardboard.

Correx Fluted Plastic Sheets from Trio Plus combine strength and durability for the highly effective protection of multiple floors with a light weight, versatility and ease of use. Indeed, the company’s Correx floor protection sheeting can be easily cut, curved and creased with a knife to fit a wide range of floor spaces. In addition, the sheeting’s highly impact-resistant, water-proof, non-toxic and chemical-resistant nature means that it can be depended upon in a wide range of situations.

The Trio Plus range of Correx sheeting is of a consistently high quality and is now in stock, meaning that it is immediately available to firms that wish to take advantage of the floor protection specialist’s very reliable delivery. The sheeting comes in a choice of three colours of black, white and translucent to order, whilst is also possible for the sheets to be overprinted with the company’s own details when a minimum order of 500 sheets is placed.

Customers who call the Trio Plus sales team can also order the sheeting in a choice of 3mm (350gsm), 4mm (700gsm), 5mm (1050gsm) thick sheets, with the best price being available through the company’s eBay store. Indeed, offers and discounts are available for those that order larger quantities. The sheets can be delivered by super fast working day delivery to anywhere in the UK and that is free in every area with the exception of offshore or the IV, KW, PA or PH postcodes, for which there is a charge for what may be slightly longer delivery.

Trio Plus Launches Brand New Heavy Duty Version Of The Tackymat

Trio Plus, the temporary floor protection products specialist, has launched a new version of its Tackymat, designed specifically for heavy duty environments.

Dirt and spills are both time-consuming to clean up when a job or event has finished. Replacing or repairing flooring damaged by construction material or heavy foot traffic can also have a significant financial impact. Such dirt is not only inconvenient to clean up, however, as it is also a workplace hazard, potentially causing employees to trip, slip or fall, injuring themselves and others. An unobtrusive and temporary means of carpet protection or hard floor protection in heavy duty environments can remove these pressures.

The TrioPlus Tackymats are available in packs of 30 or 150 sheets in 90cm x 60cm size. A Tackymat functions by capturing dirt from foot traffic that passes over its surface, courtesy of its non-transferring adhesive. The mats sit at the entrance to a room or space just as a normal welcome mat would. The mat has a series of numbered layers, each of which effortlessly peel off to reveal a fresh, clean surface. This means that when each exposed layer becomes completely used, it can simply be peeled off to reveal a new, clean layer of temporary floor protection without having to roll out new product each time.

The new range of heavy duty Tackymats from Trio Plus, as with the firm’s existing Tackymat range, is non-allergic, non-drying and non-odorous. It is a tacky, dust removing mat in a rubber heavy duty frame that allows it to be easily relocated around a site or from project to project to prevent debris being walked or wheeled into a sensitive area. It works on the same principle as the standard Tackymat, with the difference being that it consists of cotton tacky sheets that enable it to remove the heavier dirt and debris of heavy duty environments. Each mat consists of 36 sheets which, once ‘full’, simply peel away to reveal a new sheet.

Specific benefits of the new heavy duty Tackymat include its speed of application, as the protective layer can simply be removed before it is placed into position. It is more effective at removing dust than traditional door mats as it not only removes ‘contamination’ but also holds it. It is also specifically designed to cope with the heavy traffic of heavy duty environments, effectively removing heavier ‘contamination’ even when damp. The heavy duty Tackymat significantly reduces the amount of time that employees spend cleaning up and also promotes an excellent image of a company and its obvious duty of care to its client.

Available for only £35 with free super fast next day working delivery via courier, the heavy duty version of the Tackymat joins the already extensive catalogue of floor protection products from TrioPlus. The range includes solutions for protecting hard floors and carpets in both domestic and commercial buildings while they are being altered, refurbished or redecorated, or indeed in any other circumstance where a floor needs to be protected from heavy foot traffic.

Three More TV Production Deals for Trio Plus Floor Protection Products

Trio Plus, the specialist floor protection products supplier, continues its domination of the silver screen with three new confirmed TV production deals for its temporary floor protectors. The contracts will see a range of hard floor and carpet protection solutions being used during filming of a series of sitcoms and dramas.

The carpet protection film offered by the Surrey firm has been chosen by the producers behind the new BT Talk Talk commercial. The production team opted for premium fleece hard floor protection and heavy duty carpet protection film to protect hard floors and carpets while shooting on location.

The Premium White Fleece for Hard Floor Protection is felt topside that has a white anti-abrasive non-woven layer that is easy to sweep clean and that does not break up. Its self-adhesive green polythene backing provides tight and safe adhesion on hard floors, whilst it is also eco-friendly. Its anti-slip topside offers sponge-like absorption of spillages whilst its polythene backing guards against fluid penetration. It also comes in 1.5mm thick reusable rolls.

Trip Plus carpet protection products have also been chosen for the filming of Channel 4's Brothers & Sisters. In this instance, the production team chose Correx Hard Floor protection, Premium Fleece Hard Floor and Carpet Protection Film.

Correx Fluted Plastic Sheets are ideal for environments such as those with very old, delicate or valuable floors for which a self-adhesive floor protection solution is unsuitable. These plastic sheets are much more cost-effective than traditional means of sensitive floor protection such as plywood or cardboard, which has led to their widespread use in DIY refurbishment projects and in the world of construction.

An extra 200m2 of red multi use hard floor protection and premium fleece has also been ordered by production teams working on the new Debenhams TV commercial. As with all other Trio Plus products, multi-use hard floor protection is self-adhesive, supplied on handy rolls and offers up to 45 days protection. It is a perfect general purpose barrier, providing protection from damage for a wide range of surfaces, including vinyl, tiles, lino, hardware, cabinets, countertops, metals, marbles and a wide variety of hand and factory finished hardwoods and textured surfaces. It is a good choice for those who need to protect a wide range of floor and surface types other than carpets, being easy to apply, puncture resistant and highly durable. It also uses a water-based environmentally friendly adhesive that leaves no residue.

Trio Plus Floor Protection Products Used During Filming of Clash of the Titans 2

Rubbing shoulders (and feet) with Hollywood’s A-list is all in a day’s work for Trio Plus floor protection products. The firm’s premium fleece hard floor protection is currently being used during filming of Clash of the Titans 2, starring Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes and Rosamund Pike.

Scheduled for release in March 2012, the Jonathan Liebesman-directed sequel is currently in production in studios just outside of London. Further shoots on location are scheduled for Surrey, South Wales and in the Canary Islands. During production, the hard floor protection fleece by Trio Plus will be used to protect the floors on set, preventing damage from dust, dirt, spillages and heavy foot traffic.

Set to be distributed in both 2D and 3D, the eagerly anticipated film is set ten years after the original Clash of the Titans and will follow a battle for supremacy between the gods and the Titans. Sure to be filled with special effects and epic scenes, Trio Plus floor protection products play a vital behind the scenes role, helping to preserve the integrity of the buildings used on location during filming.

The premium fleece hard floor protector is one of four hard floor protection products available from TrioPlus. Tried and tested in the extremely demanding conditions of Hollywood film sets and TV blockbusters, it is equally well suited to domestic use, particularly when builder’s mess such as paint or dirt is set to be a problem during decorating or renovation work.

The floor protector has a felt topside and a white anti-abrasive, non-woven layer which is non slip and eco-friendly. With a polythene backing to prevent fluids from seeping through to the wood beneath, even commercial building works are no match for the premium fleece. Other products in the range include standard and budget versions.
