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.
