This is a transparent, non porous and low slip carpet protector for safe guarding carpets from damage during periods of decorating, renovation and building work. Suitable For All Types of Carpet Unlike most other types of carpet protector, our special water based adhesive allows it to be used on all types of carpet, including those made from natural fibres like wool. No special applicator is required. Instead rolls are reverse wound which means they can be simply dropped in place and quickly kicked out to unroll. Hippo High Performance Carpet Protector is certified fire retardant and meets UK fire regulations. This means that it can be left down in commercial buildings for up to 30 days.
