The Real Risk to Fitted Cabinets And Units
It only takes a moment. One careless movement during a kitchen or bathroom remodel and fitted cabinets and units can be left with scuffs that no amount of polishing will shift. The good news is that almost all of this is preventable with the right temporary cover.
Handle-less gloss fronts show every fine scratch under downlights, and left unguarded they quickly pick up door and drawer-front scratches, paint and filler splashes, tool knocks. A purpose-made twin-wall PP honeycomb board spreads point loads across its rigid cellular core, shrugs off knocks, and keeps what is underneath looking exactly as it did before work started.
Why the Right Board Makes the Difference
What sets polypropylene honeycomb sheet apart is the combination of rigidity and low weight. It is stiff enough to bridge minor debris and resist point loads, yet light enough for one person to carry, cut, and lay in minutes — exactly what a busy fit-out demands.
Boards can be trimmed to size on site with a standard blade, taped at the seams, and lifted just as fast when the work is done — no specialist kit required.
What Actually Causes the Harm
The usual culprits include door and drawer-front scratches, paint and filler splashes, tool knocks, and dust in hinges and runners. On their own each looks trivial, but together they account for the bulk of the call-backs and claims that fitters and homeowners end up dealing with.
How to Lay the Protection Step by Step
