ABOUT THIS PRODUCT Moving a wheelchair or hoist can be very difficult on carpet. By laying this Hard Plastic Flooring on top of the carpet, manual handling will be a lot easier for carers. Hard Plastic Flooring is preferable to flexible plastic matting, as some matting is unsuitable for plush or high pile carpet where wheels can sink into the soft plastic surface. The Flooring can be placed wherever a hoist or wheelchair needs to move and also helps prevent carpet from being damaged by wheels. The Plastic also helps prevent the carpet getting damaged by the wheels on a hoist or wheelchair. WHO SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT? People who are experiencing difficulty moving a wheelchair or hoist on carpet. HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT Lay the Flooring side by side on the carpet to cover the area needed. Once in position, push the Flooring pieces next to each other and use adhesive tape to keep them together. Normally, some tape on each side and some in the middle of each piece of Flooring will be sufficient to stop it moving apart. If the carpet is thick, additional tape can be attached underneath the Flooring. When walking on the Flooring, the plastic may bend slightly, but this is normal as weight is applied. PRODUCT MATERIALS 3mm Plastic. Custom sizes on request – please contact us. Download our Floor Plan Word Doc to help plan your room. Registered Design Application Number 202516373
