Temporary Floor Protection Not Just For Dry Land As TrioPlus Secures Number of Boat Orders


While temporary floor and carpet protection may be something typically associate with dry land, experts Trio Plus are bucking the trend with a series of new business wins on the high seas.

The Surrey-based firm has recently taken a number of orders to supply a selection of its temporary floor protection products to a number of different boats and shipping companies. Among them is a Highlands cruise ship, which takes passengers on a picturesque journey through Scotland’s waterways and Highlands. Its crew placed a varied order for Trio Plus products, helping to protect the interior of the boat during winter maintenance. Built in 1988, the boat offers 54 berths, all traditionally and tastefully decorated. With carpeting throughout, temporary carpet protector helped to protect the floor from stains and spills of building materials and mess from contractors during its annual works.

The capital’s leading River Bus provider also finds temporary floor protection products to be essential to operations through the winter and summer seasons. Used by commuters and sightseers to get around the city, river buses are a familiar site on London’s famous river. A regular order of 100 micron super heavy duty carpet protection film helps to keep the passenger boats moving.

Supplied in a roll format, the heavy duty film protects expanses of carpet from almost anything you can throw at it – making it perfect for use in public areas where stained carpets and flooring ruined by paint, spillages, dirt or even builders rubble is unacceptable. Super heavy duty carpet protection by Trio Plus can be used on very thick carpets and carpets where high heels frequently tread, as the extra thickness will help to protect against punctures and maintain protection levels. As the film is not printed with branding, it can disappear from view once applied, making it a perfect fit for corporate, professional and public spaces.

An all inclusive, luxury hotel barging company also makes use of heavy duty carpet protection from TrioPlus. Its barges are designed as floating hotels , providing holiday makers with a relaxing way to travel throughout Europe. Helping it to maintain its standards of comfort and quality, heavy duty temporary carpet protection ensures the flooring inside the barge can be protected on the go and during routine maintenance work. Supplied on rolls, the heavy duty carpet protector is easy to transport, easy to apply and can be reused when removed.

In addition to being invaluable for maintenance works, TrioPlus temporary floor protectors are often called into service during more extensive ship refits.  A consignment of 3000m2 carpet protection film has recently been sent to Dubai to protect an expanse of carpeted flooring during a refit, while other carpet protection products are also kept at hand by a number of brokers for their ship refits.

Trio Plus Temporary Carpet Protection Chosen For Third Series of TV Production


A temporary carpet protection product and a hard floor protector by TrioPlus have been called up for a third term by the TV production company behind a popular ITV detective series.

Scott and Bailey is a British drama following the lives and cases of Manchester Metropolitan Police Major Incident Team members, DC Rachel Bailey and DC Janet Scott. With filming taking place in a number of different locations throughout the first three series, Trio Plus’ best-selling temporary carpet protector and standard hard floor protection fleece have been a constant presence on set. Popular with TV and film crews, Trio Plus floor protection products provide around the clock coverage against the rigors of life on set.

One of 2012’s best sellers, the Surrey firm’s carpet protection film can be used in commercial, residential and industrial settings. It can be used on any expanse of flat carpeted area and will protect the fibres from moisture, spills, dirt and dust. It also provides a barrier between the carpet and heavy foot traffic, making it an useful presence on film and TV sets as well as in location during events and parties. Reverse wound, Trio Plus temporary carpet protection film is unbranded, giving discreet protection can then be applied quickly and easily by hand or applicator. An eco-friendly self-adhesive backing holds the film in place for up to 45 days, is easy to remove and leaves no residue when taken up.

Also suitable for residential, commercial and industrial environments, the temporary floor protector can be purchased in standard or heavy duty grades.
