Heavy Duty Vinyl Carpet Protector Runner — Clear Film Protection for UK Offices & Hallways

Protect your carpets from everyday wear, foot traffic, and furniture marks with our Heavy Duty Vinyl Carpet Protector Runner. This clear film runner is 68cm (27 inches) wide and sold by the metre, giving you flexible coverage for any length hallway, corridor, or office walkway.

Made from high-clarity, heavy-duty PVC, this carpet runner sits flat on your carpet without bunching or slipping, thanks to the integral anti-slip gripper underside. It's transparent — so your carpet pattern remains visible — while absorbing the punishment of daily foot traffic that would otherwise cause premature wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this carpet runner stay in place?

Yes. The anti-slip gripper underside locks into the carpet pile and prevents the runner from shifting under foot traffic. On very low-pile commercial carpet, the runner may slide slightly — in this case, a small amount of non-permanent carpet tape at each end provides additional security.

Can I cut it to length myself?

Yes — heavy duty clear PVC cuts cleanly with heavy-duty scissors or a utility knife and straight edge. We recommend cutting on a hard surface to ensure a clean straight edge.

How do I clean it?

Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn marks, a small amount of white spirit on a cloth removes scuffs and heel marks. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Is it suitable for use on stairs?

Yes, with appropriate securing at the top and base of each step. We recommend securing with carpet tacks or non-permanent stair clips rather than relying solely on the gripper underside when used on stair nosings.
