Dust Sheet Roll for Furniture: Cover Surface 4.6 × 82 feet Painting Masking Film for House Renovate Spray Painting - for Floor Wall Cabinets Carpet Sofa Car

A little while ago I had a little ding with the car which needed me to get a panel resprayed. The choice was to give £1000 to a bodyshop or just do it myself with rattle cans for under £100. Without a garage and in the depth of winter, the only option was to do it in the kitchen with the doors open, so I needed some protection for the wall and floor behind the part. The plastic is folded up on itself six or eight times in a very well thought-out way. You measure how much width you need to cover, and pull that width off the roll. Then you stick the yellow sticky bit (a bit like how you use a post-it note) at the top-most extent of the space you need to cover, and then you locate thee bottom-edge of the plastic (it's folded over on itself a few times, but relatively easy to find along the opposite edge to the yellow strip), and then pull it out. If you pull it right, and the gods are with you, the sheet just concertina's out and becomes a very long (8 foot from yellow sticky strip to bottom edge) sheet. Now, 8' sounds large, but if you're painting a part with a rattle can, you need a good area covered because the droplets float erratically, so you will probably need one for the bottom 2' of wall and the floor under you, and one part for the 6' of wall behind, which overlaps the floor sheet by a few feet. Why overlap? Because when you're moving around, it's very easy to kick up the plastic and leave a nice little hole that, when you remove the plastic, results in a perfectly shaped black splodge from the paint (assuming you're painting black) :) This means that, if you're painting large car parts, like doors or panels, you won't get all 49' of width, you'll probably get about half that. Enough to paint two or three panels if you're not re-using the plastic. If, however, you're using the sheets for much smaller things, you can pull the sheet out as wide as you like, and get a LOT of use out of this roll. 49' is quite a lot if you're just using it for messy play with the kids etc. So, the plastic itself is pretty durable. I had some sharp-edged panels and they caught on the plastic, but didn't tear it. It's surprisingly resistant, especially for footwear. You'd assume that kicking through it with boots would tear it, but it's quite resistant. So, why "needs to be treated carefully"? Because the yellow sticky strip is only a few cm wide, and doesn't stick THAT well, especially to wood/brick, and totally doesn't stick to stone. If you're not sticking it to perfectly smooth things like cabinets / white goods, then you need to be very careful when you're moving around, or it's quite easy to pull the whole lot down. I tend to put a heavy thing like stepladders at the base of the wall so that if I do kick the plastic when I'm walking across it, the tug only gets as far as the stepladders, and doesn't pull the sticky tape off the wall. When you do remove the sticky tape though, there's no residue, and because it's not duck tape (or similar), it doesn't pull paint off wood. I'm quite impressed by this roll. It did it's job, and I've since found a few other uses for it (such as messy play or protecting the floor when the kids have the paddling pool outside).

The coverage is good for the price. I used it on the staircase over the carpet and thankfully the durability didn't disappoint 👍

This is so easy to put up & easy to remove (doesn’t ruin the wall) - Great buy- would definitely recommend

I actually didn’t expected the sheet to come with the masking tape pre-attached (my fault for one-click buying this on a whim). I was looking for something just to throw over furniture whilst I have home renovations happening. But I’ve found the roll so useful! I can protect painted walls, which is what I will use it for. I’ve also found that it doubles up as temporary ‘net’ curtains over the window. I’ve just had my living room renovated and I don’t have any blinds or curtains installed, so this clever roll of plastic has solved anyone being able to see right into my house in the winter. Whilst I decide on curtains and blinds after the new year. It lets the light through as well, which is ideal. It’s very lightweight and thin but plentiful.

The tape has little to no adhesion so it moves very easily. I was using it to mask off the floor from the skirting boards. As I unrolled some more the bit I had already stuck down came away and then when you try to open the sheet out the whole thing just pulls up. To be honest for me personally it was a waste of money. Would be a great item if the masking tape had more adhesion to it.

Very useful, the tape is low tack but do check what you stick to in case of damage (e.g. vinyl surfaces). 4 rolls could probably let you decorate your house twice!

I used this product to cover my conservatory windows whilst decorating. Once I worked out how to apply it without the top sticking together it worked well helping to keep my frames free from spills. The covering was in place for three days and remained solidly in place. Would use again.

So handy and easy to use.
