Why Sites Skip Stair Protection at Their Peril
Painters and plasterers working stairwells drop tools constantly. Without a cushioned layer, every drop leaves a mark.
Why Crews Choose Felt PP Honeycomb
Each tread gets a felt-faced honeycomb shield that bends with the step and resists the knocks of daily site life.
- 100% Recyclable PP — When a board finally retires, the polypropylene is fully recyclable, supporting circular-site practice and ESG reporting.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Best Uses for Felt PP Honeycomb Stair Board
On real sites, the board proves its value wherever finished surfaces meet ongoing work:
- Stair renovations and resurfacing
- Moving furniture between levels
- Public-building refurbishment
- Builds using material hoists
- Painting and rendering stairwells
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.
Common Questions
Is it awkward to carry up stairs?
No. The panels are lightweight, so a single person can stage and lay a full flight without mechanical lifting.
Can it handle furniture moves?
The honeycomb core absorbs the knocks from appliances and fittings being carried between levels.
Does it stay on the steps?
The felt backing grips each tread, and many crews add a single strip of low-tack tape at the nose for extra security on steep runs.
