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.
Why Crews Choose Felt PP Honeycomb
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.
- Fire-Retardant Variants — Sites with strict fire codes can specify retarded boards without giving up the reusable honeycomb advantage.
- Breathable Option — Open-cell formats let moisture escape, reducing the risk of trapped damp on sensitive substrates during long projects.
- 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.
- Reusable for Dozens of Cycles — The PP honeycomb core springs back after impact and stays flat, so one board protects job after job instead of being discarded after a single use.
- Load Bearing — The honeycomb core supports carts, scaffolding, and staged materials, so protection does not mean closing off the workspace.
- 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.
Where It Earns Its Keep
On real sites, the board proves its value wherever finished surfaces meet ongoing work:
- Model homes and staging
- Tenant move-in and move-out
- Residential renovations and remodels
- Commercial office fit-outs
- Painting and decorating projects
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 temporary variant.
Common Questions
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.
