Why Stair Protection Pays Off
A scuffed stair at handover reads as poor workmanship even when the structure is perfect. Protection keeps the finish as clean as the build.
What Sets Felt-Backed PP Honeycomb Apart
A PP honeycomb board with a felt backing turns fragile stair treads into a protected runway. The rigid honeycomb core absorbs knocks, and the felt face grips each step so the board stays exactly where you put it.
- 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.
- 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.
- Lower Total Cost — Reuse beats repaint. A small fleet of boards replaces repeated purchases of disposable film and the labour of fixing avoidable damage.
- Breathable Option — Open-cell formats let moisture escape, reducing the risk of trapped damp on sensitive substrates during long projects.
- 100% Recyclable PP — When a board finally retires, the polypropylene is fully recyclable, supporting circular-site practice and ESG reporting.
Application Scenarios
On real sites, the board proves its value wherever finished surfaces meet ongoing work:
- Moving furniture between levels
- Painting and rendering stairwells
- Stair renovations and resurfacing
- Builds using material hoists
- Public-building refurbishment
A Practical Buying Guide
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. Standard boards suit most projects; bespoke sizes are available on request.
What Crews Ask Us Most
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.
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.
