The Real Cost of Unprotected Floors
Trades move fast, and a bare floor is a floor waiting for a dropped fitting or a dragged appliance. The repair almost always costs more than the protection.
Inside the Board: Honeycomb Core Plus Felt Face
Finished floors need more than a dust sheet. A felt-faced PP honeycomb board adds a rigid, reusable layer that cushions drops and resists the abrasion of constant traffic.
- Lower Total Cost — Reuse beats repaint. A small fleet of boards replaces repeated purchases of disposable film and the labour of fixing avoidable damage.
- Lightweight Yet Rigid — Crews can carry and lay full sheets quickly without special equipment, then lift them just as easily at the end of the day.
- Fire-Retardant Variants — Sites with strict fire codes can specify retarded boards without giving up the reusable honeycomb advantage.
- Water, Paint & Dust Resistant — Spills bead on the surface and paint splatter wipes away, keeping the protected area clean through messy stages of the build.
- Shields Finish & Substrate — It forms a shock layer between the floor, stair, or wall and the work happening above, protecting both the visible finish and the structure beneath.
- Non-Slip Felt Backing — The felt layer grips the substrate and stays put under foot traffic, so crews are not constantly re-laying shifted sheets.
Application Scenarios
On real sites, the board proves its value wherever finished surfaces meet ongoing work:
- Painting and decorating projects
- Kitchen and bath upgrades
- Residential renovations and remodels
- Model homes and staging
- Commercial office fit-outs
How to Specify the Right Board
Match thickness to traffic. Light foot traffic is fine with 3-5 mm; cart and scaffolding zones need 8-10 mm. Choose felt backing where grip matters, and size sheets to cover the run with a small overlap. For sites that need it, ask about our waterproof variant.
FAQ
Does it suit radiant or heated floors?
Breathable variants are available so moisture is not trapped against sensitive heated substrates.
Will it slip on polished tile?
The felt backing is designed to grip the substrate, so it stays in place under normal foot traffic without extra taping.
How many times can it be reused?
Typical boards handle 30-50 cycles of lay, lift, and store, after which the PP is recyclable rather than landfilled.
