Professional contractors and DIYers alike have to take precautions when performing certain tasks. Protecting carpets and furniture is a fundamental part of doing a good job, whether you’re trying your hand at painting and decorating or employed to install a staircase.
Dustsheets should be a vital component of the DIY or contractor’s work bag, and it is imperative that you choose a quality cover that fits the task at hand. For example, if you’re painting you need to be confident that the dust sheet you choose is thick enough to catch even the smallest droplets of paint, without allowing for leakages.
