Our range is suitable for many post-flooring installation
Floor Protection for Flooring Contractors
Flooring contractors - in fact any flooring installer - often rely on a bit of temporary floor protection as part of that all-important handover process. And in all fairness, once that floor is finally installed, covering it properly is a no-brainer really - helps keep your good work safe from those other trades who'll be stomping all over it.
It can also cut down on call-backs, protect your business from any negative reviews, and show the client you genuinely care about the finished job & how it looks.
For flooring businesses, offering floor protection as an extra service can also add a ton of extra value - gives the builder or homeowner peace of mind, and lets them avoid any damage that might otherwise get blamed on the flooring guy.
Protecting New Floors Before Handover
New flooring can really make all the difference to a project - but its also crazy how easily it gets damaged before the job is even done. Once you've installed timber, hybrid, vinyl, laminate, tile, polished concrete, or even just carpet, the surface is often still pretty vulnerable till the very last part of the project - defects get sorted, paint gets touched up, installation of joinery happens, appliances get delivered, cleaning gets done, inspections are done, and the client finally gets handed the keys.
It's that short little window after the flooring's been installed that's when all the problems happen. A dropped tool here, some dusty boots walking across the floor there, a splash of paint, a bit of spilled adhesive or water, or one of the guys dragging equipment across the place - all of a sudden you've got scratches, dents, stains, or scuff marks on the floor that was just finished and the client had paid for in full.
Our temporary floor protection system is designed with this very stage of a job in mind. Its used by builders, flooring guys, renovation teams, fit-out crews, painters & project managers to keep finished flooring safe from other trades getting in the way.
As a wholesale supplier of floor protection solutions in Australia, we specialise in delivering practical, modern, easy-to-use floor protection products that can withstand the chaos of a post-installation project environment.
Why Protecting Your Floors Is A Big Deal After Flooring Installs
Loads of people think. Floor protection is only needed during major construction or when a site is getting ripped apart but actually, the real risk is after the new floors are installed because - even though they now 'look' finished the job is still not, and construction chaos is still in full swing.
After flooring is installed, the property may still have:
- Painters completing final coats or touch-ups
- Cabinetmakers installing kitchens, wardrobes, or vanities
- Electricians and plumbers doing final fit-off
- Cleaners moving equipment through the site
- Builders completing defect rectification
- Appliances and furniture being delivered
- Clients, supervisors, and inspectors walking through
- Final rubbish removal and site clean-up
Each of these activities can damage the floor dramatically. Even careful trades can accidentally create marks when the surface is left uncovered.
Temporary Floor Protection giving your team some breathing room. It lets you put up a barrier between that newly-finished floor and the work that's still got to be done, giving your team a little more space to work and a lot less to worry about. It also helps keep the place looking tidy, cuts down on all that extra rework you might need to do, and helps keep your profit margins safe.
Types of flooring our floor protections can look after
Protecting Timber & Engineered Flooring
Timber & engineered timber floors - those are indeed high-end finishes. Once they get scratched or dented, the repair costs can really add up. Even the smallest mark can become a deal-breaker at hand-over time, especially in super-premium homes, display suites, apartment complexes, and high-end commercial spaces.
We make it easier to protect your floors from foot traffic, tools, and people moving around with boxes and debris, so you end up with a much cleaner work space in the end. We recommend using the right product at the right time, depending on where the job is at, what state the surface is in, and whether or not you need the floor to breathe.
Protection for Hybrid, Laminate, and Vinyl Flooring
Hybrid, laminate and vinyl floors are popular for their durability and affordability, but they can still get dinged up by rough grit, dragged materials, tool boxes rolling around, paint splatters, adhesive spills, and just too much foot traffic.
After the install's done, the rest of the trades just tend to walk all over the new floor like it's no big deal. You can prevent all this with temporary floor protection that'll cut the risk of scratches, scuffs and dirt marks getting on the floor during the final stages of the project.
Our easy-to-apply self-adhesive protection can be unrolled across walkways, rooms, and any areas that need to be cut off. That way your newly laid floors stay looking their best until the final clean.
Protecting Tile & Polished Concrete Floors
People often think tiles and polished concrete are tough surfaces, but they're not exactly damage-proof. When you've just finished laying tiles, they can get grout haze on them, paint splatters, dropped tools, and all sorts of messy traffic making a mess. And if you don't protect your polished concrete, it can end up getting scratched, stained, and dulled by all the things that are being moved around in the area.
Our temporary floor protection can keep your finish looking good until the rest of the project's done, especially in high-traffic commercial fit-outs, busy hotels, retail spaces and new builds where everyone's still traipsing around on site.
Why our product is the best!
Easy Installation for Busy Job Sites
One of the greatest perks of our floor protection is just how easy it is to use on a busy project site. Honestly, who's got the time or desire to spend hours wrestling with loose sheets or constantly chasing after material that's shifted out of place?
Our self-adhesive floor protection is quite literally a breeze to put in place - just lay the roll out across the surface, cut it to size, and slap it down in the spots where you need protection the most.
It's no wonder this stuff is a game changer when it comes to reducing the need for extra tape. That means a cleaner finish, and less chance of those nasty trip hazards caused by loose material.
To get the best results the floor should be spotless, bone dry and free from all that loose dust before you even start installation - and honestly you should always test out a small section first, especially if you're working with something sensitive that's been freshly coated or just finished.
Reducing Rework and Handover Headaches
Floor damage at the end of a project is a real frustration because it usually pops up when the budget is already razor thin and the deadline is staring you in the face.
A tiny little scratch might only need a repair visit to sort out, a stain could need some specialist cleaning, and a damaged board might have to be replaced - and in commercial projects, delays can also knock on to opening dates, tenant access or the final payment.
Protecting your floor after new flooring installation is a simple and effective way to reduce those risks - its also a good way to show clients, builders and site managers that the finished surface is being treated with the care it deserves.
And it can also help to reduce disputes between the various people on site - when a floor is left uncovered it can be a right old nightmare trying to figure out who actually caused the damage - but with some protection in place the risk is mostly reduced before the problem even starts.
The Defects period - where Final Trades get done
The defects period is when most of us hold our breath, hoping the floors hold up to all the wear and tear. Contractors have to get back on site to finish off the last few niggles and the floor is left wide open to all the staffs and site visitors traipsing through - day in and day out.
And that can include:
touching up paint, adjusting doors, skirting and trim work ( all those little fiddly bits that are easy to miss), sorting out any issues with the cabinetry, connecting the electrics and plumbing, installing the last of the appliances, giving the floor a good clean and polish, and doing a final, final check over.
A protected floor does more than prevent damage. It also improves site presentation.
A Better Option Than Relying on Paper, Plastic, or Cardboard to Get You Through
Lets be honest, traditional protection methods like paper rolls, plastic sheeting, drop sheets and all that cardboard can sort of get the job done in certain situations - but on a live site they can really cause more problems than they solve. Paper'll tear too easily and may end up soaking up all the moisture, plastic gets slippery and can slide all over the place when people walk on it. Cardboard, well it's just a pain to work with - too bulky, hard to get it flat and stuck down in one piece, and you'll soon find yourself using half a roll of tape to keep it in place.
And then there's drop sheets which can just shift around and leave big gaps everywhere. We reckon our self-adhesive floor protection felt is a way better solution. It's got a protective layer on top and an adhesive backing underneath which keeps it firmly in place without needing a ton of tape.
This is especially useful after a flooring installation job where the goal is not just to cover the floor, but to keep the protection looking neat and tidy, in one piece, and pro looking until the handover.
