« on: December 10, 2013, 05:30:23 pm »

£1.50 per yard =£570

5 litres of say Protect Nano will do up to 400sq m when diluted.
That's £52.80 in materials...let's say £70 just for good measure.
So £70 plus what you want...presume you'll inflate the price of materials for them a bit.
How long to spray down the stuff over 380sq m??
90 minutes on the topside so decide what you want for it.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

  Seems a large area  for 5 ltr       :-\   not that i have ever used the product  ,
  I went in with  price of £700     seems i shall have to  reduce the price   although they have accepted this  ::)roll

 i was along the lines of Garys  figures

Hi Guys

CC is a tough business and sometimes protector gives us the chance to make some easier money.

If you give them 10% you will still have a good day.

My best ever day was protecting chairs.

Cheers

500 is a bit steep,

£200 is plenty to apply, allowing a generous 2 hours too apply.

so £270.

(If 70 is correct cost of product)

If they have accepted it take it.
On the site it says PN on carpets 200 - 400 sq m per 5 litres.
5 litres is diluted 50/50 with water so you have 10 litres.
Must admit even 10 litres doesn't sound enough for 380 sq m.

Yes always wondered about the coverage they state....from 10 litres rtu they say 200 - 400 sq m.
So is it 200 or 400....it's a big gap.
Wouldn't have thought you'd get 400 sq m from 10 litres.

Jands
by them its depend what carpet it is, if its plush one, will be 20sqm if its low pile will be 40sqm, anyway, its not possible. But still cheaper then others
