english How to Avoid Bubbles When Applying Carpet Plastic Protection Film
2025-09-02
- 1. Pre-installation Cleaning Before installing, thoroughly clean the carpet surface of dust, hair, and small debris. Vacuum thoroughly, then wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth. Ensure that no particles remain on the carpet. Clean any stubborn stains beforehand to prevent impurities from being trapped under the film and causing bubbles or bulges.
- 2. Proper Cutting and Preparation Precisely cut the protective film to the carpet's dimensions, ensuring smooth, even edges to avoid irregularities that could cause gaps during application. Unroll the protective film gently to prevent wrinkles from pulling. Lay the film flat on a flat surface and let it rest for a while to allow it to expand naturally, reducing internal stress and bubbles.
- 3. Use Proper Installation Techniques Starting at one end of the carpet, peel off a small amount of adhesive at the edge of the protective film. Gently secure it to the edge of the carpet, then gradually peel off the remaining adhesive. Use a scraper to slowly push from the fixed area toward the other end, maintaining an angle between the scraper and the membrane surface. Apply even pressure to expel air from beneath the membrane and prevent air entrapment and bubbles.
- 4. Promptly Address Bubble Risks If bubbles are detected during laying, stop immediately and gently press from the edge of the bubble outward with the scraper to squeeze out the air before continuing. For corners or curved areas, slightly stretch the membrane to fit it, then carefully press with the scraper to prevent bubbles from forming in the corners due to loose fit.
- 5. Pay Attention to Edge Sealing After laying, inspect the edges and joints closely. Use a scraper to repeatedly press the edges to ensure there are no warping or loose areas. For joints, align the edges first, then overlap a small area. Use a scraper to press from the center outward to the sides to expel air from the overlap. This prevents trapped air in the joint gap from forming bubbles and affecting the overall fit.
