Why Sites Skip Stair Protection at Their Peril
Furniture and appliance moves are where stairs suffer most. A rigid board turns a risky carry into a routine trip.
Inside the Board: Honeycomb Core Plus Felt Face
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.
- 100% Recyclable PP — When a board finally retires, the polypropylene is fully recyclable, supporting circular-site practice and ESG reporting.
- 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.
- Fast to Lay and Remove — Overlap the sheets and you are done. No tapes, clips, or curing time, which keeps the programme moving.
- Load Bearing — The honeycomb core supports carts, scaffolding, and staged materials, so protection does not mean closing off the workspace.
- Breathable Option — Open-cell formats let moisture escape, reducing the risk of trapped damp on sensitive substrates during long projects.
- 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.
Application Scenarios
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
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. 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.
