Why Stair Protection Pays Off
Stair treads take relentless abuse from foot traffic, moving furniture, and material handling. Once a nosing is chipped or a riser is gouged, repairs are disruptive and rarely invisible.
Inside the Board: Honeycomb Core Plus Felt Face
For stairs, a board that lies flat and stays flat is everything. The felt-backed honeycomb core does exactly that.
- 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.
- 100% Recyclable PP — When a board finally retires, the polypropylene is fully recyclable, supporting circular-site practice and ESG reporting.
- 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.
- Fire-Retardant Variants — Sites with strict fire codes can specify retarded boards without giving up the reusable honeycomb advantage.
- 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:
- Moving furniture between levels
- Stair renovations and resurfacing
- Builds using material hoists
- Public-building refurbishment
- Painting and rendering stairwells
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 reusable and temporary variant.
Common Questions
Can it handle furniture moves?
The honeycomb core absorbs the knocks from appliances and fittings being carried between levels.
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.
