Well-Maintained Flooring is the Foundation of a Pleasant Environment

Various factors can damage flooring, but many of these can be avoided with simple and practical solutions. Learn how.

Floors are essential components not only for the comfort and safety of people but also for aesthetic considerations, which can be severely compromised by the overall appearance and condition of a floor.

Today, there are various types of flooring, each more or less suitable for different environments and personal tastes: wood, ceramic, porcelain, stone, tiles, and cement are just a few examples.

Regardless of the material used, it is important to keep the floor well-maintained, protecting it as much as possible from the effects of daily movement and occasional events such as renovations and relocations.

In this text, we list some of the most common problems that damage floors, and you’ll see how many of them can be quickly resolved with practical solutions such as adhesive solutions. Learn how to properly protect your floors!

The Problems

Friction from contact with other materials and the action of chemical agents are the most frequent causes of floor damage; causes that can generally be classified into three main groups:

• Voluntary and involuntary movement of furniture: Almost everyone has seen—or even faced—this problem: a scratched and damaged floor due to furniture legs moving during everyday activities or transportation to other locations. Anti-slip tape significantly minimizes this risk.
• Paint splatters: Painting walls, furniture, and baseboards can also compromise a floor with splatters that may need to be removed with chemical products or, worse yet, with abrasive agents. Materials like paper, cardboard, and plastic are commonly used to protect floors from these splatters, and this protection is much more effective when kept in place with adhesive tapes.
• Rug movement: Rugs can also help protect a floor—especially if they stay in place—by preventing friction from people’s movements. Even smaller rugs contribute to this protection by receiving and collecting dirt and impurities from the shoes of those entering: obviously, provided they remain fixed at the entrance; something that can be ensured with double-sided adhesive tapes.

The Solutions

As long as it is done with the recommended products and equipment for each type, cleaning is essential to maintaining any type of flooring.

But this maintenance can also benefit from the use of adhesive products, which, in a simple and practical way, protect floors from various risks. Adelbras offers several of these solutions. Some of them include:

• Masking tape: Whether they are professionals or amateurs, good painters use materials like paper and plastic to prevent paint from splattering on the floor. And even better, painters can secure these materials in place using adhesive tapes, which are also widely used to cover areas that should not be painted, such as when painting furniture, decorative pieces, or walls.
• Anti-slip tape: Anti-slip tape is an ideal solution for furniture with slippery legs. It can be easily applied to the legs of furniture, providing strong and secure grip while preventing damage to the floor.
• Carpet securing: Our line of Double-Sided Tapes offers a specific solution for securing carpets and rugs, as well as versions that allow you to secure pictures, mirrors, panels, and other items without the need for nails and screws.

These are just some of the solutions from Adelbras, whose portfolio, in addition to helping protect floors, includes several products that add convenience and practicality to your daily needs and activities. Always with the quality and credibility of a brand that has been in this market for over half a century. Learn more about us and our solutions by visiting our website: www.adelbras.com.br.
