The Real Cost of Unprotected Floors
Finished floors are some of the most expensive surfaces on any job site, yet they are also the first thing crews walk, drag, and drop tools on. A single scuff on hardwood or a chipped tile can undo days of careful work.
Inside the Board: Honeycomb Core Plus Felt Face
Rolling out a felt-backed PP honeycomb board is like giving the floor its own crash mat. The engineered core takes the hits that would otherwise mark timber, tile, or stone.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 100% Recyclable PP — When a board finally retires, the polypropylene is fully recyclable, supporting circular-site practice and ESG reporting.
Best Uses for Felt PP Honeycomb Floor Board
On real sites, the board proves its value wherever finished surfaces meet ongoing work:
- Kitchen and bath upgrades
- Commercial office fit-outs
- Tenant move-in and move-out
- Painting and decorating projects
- Model homes and staging
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. Standard boards suit most projects; bespoke sizes are available on request.
What Crews Ask Us Most
Can crews walk on it straight away?
Yes. The board is laid and immediately walkable, with the felt backing keeping it stable on tile, timber, or concrete.
Does it suit radiant or heated floors?
Breathable variants are available so moisture is not trapped against sensitive heated substrates.
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.
