Everbuild Roll and Stroll Premium Carpet Protector | Self

This is great stuff. Being yellow it is easy to see where to walk for contractors and what isn’t protected. It is tacky enough to hold down on carpet but that means it can be easily removed but also care is needed to put it down in the first place. The best way is for two people to do it: one to hold the roll the other to hold both sides of the free end and press it down to the carpet. This is especially helpful on stairs. We have a staircase with a half landing which we successfully covered using this technique. A couple of points worth noting: it works better if you overlap a good way when putting a new bit down as it sticks to itself well and you need something appropriate to cut it. (we used a Stanley knife on the film held up under tension). It is a bad idea to let it hang freely as, like any cling film type it will tend to tangle up and stick to itself.

Don’t understand the negative reviews.. I got this to protect my freshly laid carpet on stairs and landing while moving in and builders still fixing few things. I must admit uts not easy to install as its quite hard to unroll the wrap while laying on the carpet but I managed to do it on my own. Would suggest two people for easy installation. Also, if you are a woman please tie your hair as I lost some of mine stuck in the roll while putting this on. Lovely roll and when I took it off carpet was all ok.

Good quality product and sticks almost too well. Kept the carpet clean and dry. Saved a brand new almost white carpet from black water out of a leaking radiator. We’ll worth the money this stuff!

I use this to line the car boot to protect from dog hair. Almost zero adhesion to car carpet (synthetic) but if it touches itself – peel it off and do it again. It never lets go of itself! Grrr.
Not eco friendly. But it does keep the dog fur
Out once paced – and held in position by stuff

It does take 2 people to put it on the stairs but once it’s down it stays down. Once on the carpet it doesn’t move or wrinkle so it makes decorating so much easier. We placed some in the kitchen on the lino, now it did come off but it has left a sticky residue behind. I 100% recommend buying

This was recommended to me by a carpenter when he knew we were going to be painting in the near future. I was a little sceptical but it really is a great product. We have even used it to wrap and protect small items of furniture that we needed to store in the garage. The only thing I would say is that it can be fiddly to use and you almost need two people to use it easily. One person to hold the sticky piece out in front and the other to hold and unroll the required amount, otherwise it can twist and stick to itself and your are not gonna unstick it!! You also need to remember to replace the outer protective film when you’ve finished.

Bought some of this stuff in advance of moving house, not trusting the removers to get it right (which they didn’t!). It’s a bit tricky to get down (it helps to have two people, particularly when cutting and on stairs) but once you get the knack it’s fine. Slowing down, as is often the case, usually results in good results. It stuck down well with no lifting for the week or so it was down. I would use this again without hesitation and indeed I would use it if doing substantial DIY messy work in the house now I think,

I bought some of the corresponding hard floor stuff as well and both products worked well. Really have no complaints, it did what I needed it to do and i didn’t feel the cost was unreasonable.

Paid for with my own money so if useful, take half a second to give me a thumbs up thanks / helpful!!

Once it’s down, this product is great protection for your carpet. However … if you are putting it on a staircase I recommend that you get help. I started laying it on my own, but had to rope in my 12 year old to assist by holding the roll as I smoothed it over the carpet from the top down. The task was slow and backbreaking and, as the roll was shorter than the width of the stairs, afterwards we had gaps to fill with small strips cut from the roll. The protector is very sticky and if a piece of it folds in on itself you will only separate it with great difficulty – it’s just like a giant roll of flypaper. With hindsight, I needed a third person to cover the ears of my daughter as I filled the air with expletives whenever a piece stuck to itself or I noticed a giant air bubble that I hadn’t smoothed.

If you have pets, please do ensure that you replace the clear film over the roll when you finish: when your cat or dog cosies up to the roll and realises that it is a very clingy bff, they won’t appreciate the resulting trim.

Despite the trauma of laying the carpet and the scratches from my cat, the payoff is worth it: I’ve given the roll 5 stars as it is far safer than having loose plastic sheeting over the stairs. Plus the yellow and black colouring lends itself to your kids pretending that your room is a crime scene.
