The Real Cost of Unprotected Stairs
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fast to Lay and Remove — Overlap the sheets and you are done. No tapes, clips, or curing time, which keeps the programme moving.
- 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.
Best Uses for Felt PP Honeycomb Stair Board
On real sites, the board proves its value wherever finished surfaces meet ongoing work:
- Builds using material hoists
- Painting and rendering stairwells
- Stair renovations and resurfacing
- Public-building refurbishment
- Moving furniture between levels
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. For sites that need it, ask about our temporary variant.
FAQ
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.
