Anyone who regularly applies protective film to floors and stairs is familiar with the problem: it’s precision work that requires good posture. In practice, this is often neglected. The result is back pain, wasted time and a less-than-perfect finish. The PrimaCover Film Dispenser was developed to solve this problem: it allows you to apply film comfortably, quickly and smoothly to both textile and hard floors, without bending over and without the hassle.
What is the PrimaCover Film Dispenser?
The PrimaCover Film Dispenser is an optional accessory with an adjustable, telescoping handle that allows you to adjust the working height to suit your posture. When using it on stairs, remove the handle and use the side grips so that you can maintain control of the roll as you descend and continue to apply even pressure to the film.
Suitable for PrimaCover Carpet, Carpet FR and Hardfloor
PrimaCover Film Dispenser is compatible with the PrimaCover line of protective films, 62.5 cm wide (50 or 100 microns), for floor protection:
- PrimaCover Carpet: Self-adhesive, liquid-proof protective film for textile floor coverings; easy to remove without leaving any adhesive residue.
- PrimaCover Carpet FR: Fire-retardant version of the same film, for projects subject to fire safety requirements (e.g., commercial construction and renovation in occupied environments).
- PrimaCover Hardfloor: For hard surfaces such as tiles, laminate, and PVC; also self-adhesive and liquid-proof.
