How to Prevent Wrinkles from Carpet Protectors During Use

Carpet Protection Film Installation Guide

1. Preparing for Installation

  • Ensure the carpet surface is clean and flat before installation
  • Remove any debris, bumps, or wrinkles from the carpet
  • If wrinkles exist, smooth them out first
  • Choose a protective film that matches the carpet's dimensions precisely
  • Avoid overcutting (due to oversize) or splicing (due to undersize)
  • Inspect the protective film for factory creases
  • If creases exist, lay flat and place heavy objects to smooth them

2. Standardizing Installation Procedures

  • When removing the release layer, be steady to avoid deformation
  • Start application at one end of the carpet
  • Slowly remove remaining release layer while applying
  • Use a scraper or soft cloth to press from center to sides
  • Expel air between film and carpet for secure fit
  • For corners/irregular areas, work patiently
  • Avoid forcibly pulling the film to prevent wrinkles

3. Protective Film Material Selection

  • Preferably choose material with good flexibility
  • Flexible material adapts better to carpet surface undulations
  • Consider material ductility important
  • Ductile film resists shrinkage and wrinkling
  • Allows closer fit to carpet surface

4. Maintenance During Use

  • Avoid dragging heavy objects on the protective film
  • Prevents wrinkles from friction and uneven pressure
  • For cleaning, wipe gently with soft cloth
  • Avoid vigorous rubbing or scrubbing
  • If minor wrinkles appear, use scraper to push edges
  • Expel air to allow film to re-apply smoothly
Professional Tip: For best results, maintain room temperature between 18-25°C (64-77°F) during installation. Extreme temperatures can affect the adhesive properties of the protective film.
