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
Unlike thin polyethylene sheeting or loose cardboard, a PP honeycomb board with a felt backing gives finished floors a rigid, cushioned shield. The honeycomb core spreads impact while the soft felt face protects delicate surfaces from abrasion.
- 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.
- 100% Recyclable PP — When a board finally retires, the polypropylene is fully recyclable, supporting circular-site practice and ESG reporting.
- 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.
- Absorbs Impacts — Drops, ladders, and tool carts are the usual culprits behind chipped tiles and dented timber. The honeycomb structure spreads the load so the surface below stays intact.
- Lower Total Cost — Reuse beats repaint. A small fleet of boards replaces repeated purchases of disposable film and the labour of fixing avoidable damage.
- Load Bearing — The honeycomb core supports carts, scaffolding, and staged materials, so protection does not mean closing off the workspace.
Best Uses for Felt PP Honeycomb Floor Board
On real sites, the board proves its value wherever finished surfaces meet ongoing work:
- Commercial office fit-outs
- Tenant move-in and move-out
- Residential renovations and remodels
- Kitchen and bath upgrades
- Painting and decorating projects
How to Specify the Right Board
Specify by abuse, not by habit. Quiet refurbishments get by with 3-5 mm; busy fit-outs and material staging want 8-10 mm. Pick felt backing for grip and overlap sheets by a few centimetres. Standard boards suit most projects; bespoke sizes are available on request.
What Crews Ask Us Most
Does it suit radiant or heated floors?
Breathable variants are available so moisture is not trapped against sensitive heated substrates.
Can crews walk on it straight away?
Yes. The board is laid and immediately walkable, with the felt backing keeping it stable on tile, timber, or concrete.
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.
