The high-density construction translates into a durable film that’s more chemical and water resistant than LDPE film. This woven film is also tear and puncture resistant, so it’s often used for tarps and machine covers.

The 0.005” thick film is flame retardant; it meets ASTM E8410/40 for flame and smoke.

Adhesive-Back Film Floor Protectors

Film with Optional Applicator

Cover floors during painting and remodeling work. Adhesive on the back of this tear-resistant film keeps it in place, even in high traffic areas. Leave it for up to 30 days without harming floors.

Protectors for floors are for linoleum and ceramic tile. They should not be used on hardwood floors.

Protectors for carpets should not be used on wool and other natural fiber carpets.

Optional applicators (sold separately) reduce installation time and work with 200-ft. and 500-ft. long protectors only.
