Protecting your room before painting
- Removing light furniture and ornaments from the room and store safely out of the was
- Moving large furniture to the center of the room and covering with protective equipment such as dust sheets and clear plastic covers.
- Covering flooring with dust sheets/ clear plastic covers also, dust sheets also for a non-slip surface when using ladders etc.
- If you have carpet flooring make sure to use at least a 5cm wide masking tape on the edges of the skirting board and making sure to use a sharp tool to push the masking tape under the skirtings, this will ensure any drips or spills will not ruin your carpet.
- Using masking tape on doors, hinges and handles that are not easily removed.
