The Real Cost of Unprotected Surfaces
When multiple trades share a space, unprotected floors, stairs, and walls become a collision zone. A simple temporary barrier removes most of that risk.
Inside the Board: Honeycomb Core Plus Felt Face
The felt face protects; the honeycomb core performs. Together they make surface protection a one-product job.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fire-Retardant Variants — Sites with strict fire codes can specify retarded boards without giving up the reusable honeycomb advantage.
Application Scenarios
On real sites, the board proves its value wherever finished surfaces meet ongoing work:
- Fit-out and refurbishment
- New-build finishing
- Multi-trade shared spaces
- Logistics and material staging
- Painting and rendering
Choosing Thickness, Size and Backing
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 reusable variant.
What Crews Ask Us Most
One product for floor, stair, and wall?
The same honeycomb board family covers all three, simplifying procurement and storage on mixed sites.
Is it better than plastic sheeting?
Sheeting tears and slides; the rigid honeycomb board protects against impact, not just dust and spills.
What about site fire codes?
Fire-retardant variants are available where specifications require them.
