Why Sites Skip Stair Protection at Their Peril
Stairs are the busiest corridor on a site and the easiest place to cause accidental damage. A dropped fitting or a dragged appliance can scar a whole flight.
What Sets Felt-Backed PP Honeycomb Apart
Stairs are unforgiving once damaged, so a felt-backed honeycomb board wraps each tread in protection. Impact is absorbed by the core while the felt face keeps the sheet from sliding.
- 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.
- 100% Recyclable PP — When a board finally retires, the polypropylene is fully recyclable, supporting circular-site practice and ESG reporting.
- 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.
- Lower Total Cost — Reuse beats repaint. A small fleet of boards replaces repeated purchases of disposable film and the labour of fixing avoidable damage.
- Breathable Option — Open-cell formats let moisture escape, reducing the risk of trapped damp on sensitive substrates during long projects.
- 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:
- Stair renovations and resurfacing
- Builds using material hoists
- Painting and rendering stairwells
- Moving furniture between levels
- Public-building refurbishment
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 temporary variant.
FAQ
Can it handle furniture moves?
The honeycomb core absorbs the knocks from appliances and fittings being carried between levels.
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.
