Protective Film for Hard Flooring and Carpet. This CARPET PROTECTIVE FILM is roll out this “disposable drop cloth” film over carpets or flooring to protect against paint drips, as well as snow, mud and dirt. Solvent-based adhesive backing means it stays in place as long as you want it to (unlike film with water-based adhesive, that can slide around). Also means that the adhesive won’t transfer to your carpet even if it gets wet. 2’-wide roll is 50’ long; cut to size.
