Two Major Movies Order Trio Plus Temporary Floor Protection For Use During Filming


Two major motion pictures have become the latest in a long reel of film and TV productions to order temporary floor protection products from Trio Plus. Both the Alan Partridge movie and The Muppetts…Again! will use a selection of solutions from Trio Plus during important location shots.

Based on the hit TV series of the same name, The Alan Partridge Movie is a British comedy starring Steve Coogan, Colm Meaney, Sean Pertwee, Anna Maxwell Martin. It is set to be released later this summer. When filming started in January, Trio Plus’ temporary carpet protector and premium fleece hard floor protector joined the cast on set.

Carpet protection provides a barrier between the carpet and any liquid spills as well as falling dust and dirt or mud tracked in on bottoms of shoes and heels from outside. The Trio Plus range of carpet protection as provided to the production company includes a selection of protection grades up to 100 micron and a range of sizes. Each grade is supplied on a roll format and can be applied quickly and easily, either by hand or with an applicator. The carpet protection film has a self adhesive backing, which holds the protective layer in place for up to five weeks. Eco-friendly and designed to hold the film secure with no wrinkling, it leaves no residue on the carpet when the film is removed. It is safe to walk on and is unbranded so is suitable for use in commercial, industrial and domestic environments.

During location filming at the United Grand Lodge in London’s Covent Garden, the production company filming The Muppetts… Again! movie called upon a premium hard floor protection product to safeguard the floors of the unique venue. The United Grand Lodge is the oldest Freemason’s Lodge in the world. The present building is the third on the site and was constructed in 1927, commemorating Freemasons who died during the war. It is thought to be one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture in England and is a grade II listed building inside and out. To protect its valuable floors during filming, premier self-adhesive fleece was applied directly to the surface of the floor.

Also used by The Alan Partridge Movie crew, Trio Plus premium temporary hard floor protector is ideal for protecting from dirt and dust. Just like the carpet protector it provides a barrier between the floor and mud, dirty shoes or liquid spills. The floor protection fleece consists of a felt topside and polythene backing, absorbing spillages like a sponge and preventing fluids penetrating. The material will not break up and is easy to sweep clean. It is supplied with a self-adhesive which sticks the fleece tight for up to 45 days or until removed.

Trio Plus Gets Into Fashion Week Swing With Floor Protection Order from Burberry


The new season round of fashion shows in style capitals like London, Milan and Paris gets underway in New York this week. Not to be left out, temporary floor protection retailer Trio Plus is also setting its most fashionable foot forward by filling an order from one of the most iconic and enduring of fashion houses.

Burberry, the luxurious British clothing and accessories label favoured for its dashing tartan prints and 156 year design heritage, will protect the floors of its flagship Regent Street store in and Trio Plus’ Premium Fleece hard floor protection and Ram Board heavy duty hard floor protector during a busy fashion shoot.

Ideal for protecting valuable floors, Ram Board is the strongest, sturdiest and most robust of Trio Plus’ temporary hard floor protectors. Built in the USA and only available in the UK via phone or online order from Trio Plus, it is made entirely from recycled materials but is strong enough to withstand the weight of a forklift truck. A favourite on demanding Hollywood film sets, it is perfectly suited to its mission at Burberry, protecting the valuable floor from heavy foot traffic, makeup spills and damaging impressions, pitting or scuffing caused by weighty photography equipment and high heels.

It will be partnered by a premium thickness hard floor protector. The premium fleece will protect hard floors against high heels, excessive dirt, dust, foot traffic and mess, so it is suitable for use in both domestic and commercial settings. The extra thickness of the fleece helps to protect the floor against punctures, so it provides a barrier between equipment legs as well as stiletto shoes. It is suitable for use with wooden floors, tiles and laminate flooring, is easy to apply and once in position can be left in place for up to five weeks.

Both the Ram Board and premium fleece are supplied unbranded, so there is no distractions or unsightly logos when the products are used in a commercial setting.
