Pro-Tect® — Temporary Carpet Protection
Carpet Protection Film
Self-adhering clear PE film with water-based adhesive — temporary carpet protection for construction, renovation, and moving. Up to 45 days on all carpet grades.
Pro-Tect Carpet Protection Film uses a water-based adhesive — the only type safe for carpets. It stays firmly in place for up to 45 days, then peels off cleanly with no residue. 2 mil PE film resists punctures and stretches rather than tears. Reverse wound for easy installation — no dispenser required.
Key Benefits
Water-based adhesive
The only safe adhesive for carpets. Sticks firmly for 45 days and removes cleanly — no residue, no damage.
Up to 45 days protection
Stays in place for the length of your job. At 45 days, simply peel off and replace with a fresh roll if needed.
Puncture & tear resistant
2 mil PE film stretches rather than tears — holds up through heavy foot traffic, tools, and equipment.
Clear self-adhering film
Clear film lets you see the carpet underneath. Self-adhering — no additional tape or fasteners required.
Safe on all carpet grades
Tested and safe for use on all types and grades of carpet — loop, cut pile, Berber, and commercial.
Reverse wound for easy install
Rolls out smoothly from the bottom up. Can be installed by one person without a dispenser.
Applications
Construction & renovation sites
Moving & relocation
Painting & remodeling
High-traffic hallways & stairs
New construction walk-throughs
Real estate showings
Installation Process
| Step | Process |
|---|---|
| 1 | Find the tab on the end of the roll — this marks the start of the film. |
| 2 | Begin unrolling the film, pushing it forward with your hands or feet. |
| 3 | Pro installer tip: Unroll about 1–2 feet at a time, walk it into place, then use your feet to push the roll forward and repeat. This keeps the film tight and flat. |
| 4 | For stairs, start at the top and work down. The reverse wound roll makes stair installation much easier. |
| 5 | Cut to size at doorways and transitions. No tape needed — the film self-adheres to the carpet. |
| 6 | Replace at 45 days or sooner if heavily soiled. Do not leave down longer than 45 days. |

Removal & Adhesive Transfer
| Situation | Solution |
|---|---|
| Normal removal | Simply peel back the film at 45 days or sooner. Should lift cleanly with no residue. |
| Adhesive transfer (rare) | Heat the film slowly with a hair dryer to release the adhesive. Do not melt the film — just warm it. |
| After film removal | Use an all-natural or citrus adhesive remover for any remaining residue. |
| Steam cleaning | Steamer wand must reach 170°F. Add 1 cup citrus cleaner per 5 gallons of water (optional). |
Product Video
A Carpet Film Dispenser makes installation significantly faster if you're doing multiple rolls or repeat jobs. Ask us about the Pro-Tect Carpet Film Dispenser — it works with all roll widths.
Important: Do NOT use carpet protection film on hard floors (hardwood, tile, marble). The adhesive is designed for carpet fibers only and will be extremely difficult to remove from hard surfaces. For hard floor protection, use the Pro-Tect Finished Floor Guard instead.
