September 27, 2019

When it comes to surface protection, there are a wide range of temporary floor protection board and film products to choose from. How do you even begin to compare and decide which product is the best for your specific job type? From rolls of builder’s paper and sheets of corrugated plastic to carpet and hard surface protection films, it’s easy to become overwhelmed.

Our recommendation is to take a step back and think about what is important on your jobsite. Does the protection need to withstand heavy traffic and equipment? Will it need to repel water or paint? Will the surface protector need to be reused? Are additional supplies, such as tape needed? These are all important questions to ask yourself when deciding on which product to use.

What is Surface Protection?

Surface Protection is simply the use of protective products and materials used to protect different surfaces and floor on a jobsite. It is a critical step to avoid costly repairs in industries such as construction, flooring, concrete, disaster restoration and remodeling projects.

Surface protection products include:

• Temporary floor protection boards
• High quality, durable canvas drop cloths
• Surface protection films for carpets, countertops, hard floors and more
• Traditional builder’s paper and red rosin paper
