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.
