Temporary Floor Protection

Wally Says:

Floora, did you realize that temporary floor protection is like a suit of armor for your floors during construction or renovations? Just as a raincoat shields us from getting wet, these protective solutions keep floors safe from spills, drops, dirt, and heavy foot traffic. Whether it’s a home renovation project or a large-scale commercial construction, temporary floor protection is key to preserving the quality and appearance of your flooring.

Choosing the Right Floor Protection:

• Coverage Area: Measure your space to ensure you buy enough material to cover all necessary areas, including walkways and perhaps even furniture that remains in the room.
• Adhesive vs. Non-Adhesive: Some floor protectors have adhesive backs to prevent slipping, while others are designed to be taped down or simply laid in place. Choose based on your floor type and the duration of the project.

Buying Tip: Always consider the type of floor and the specific risks it faces during your project to select the most appropriate protection.

Floora Says:

Thanks, Wally! Wondering about installation? It's straightforward and can make a huge difference in protecting your investment. Here’s the best way to apply temporary floor protection:

• Surface Prep: Clean the floor thoroughly to remove any dust or debris. This ensures that the protective material adheres better and provides a stable surface.
• Cut to Fit: Use measurements of the room to cut the protection material to size, leaving a bit of overlap at the edges to ensure complete coverage.
• Secure in Place: Depending on the type of protection, you may need to tape the edges down to prevent movement. For adhesive-backed options, carefully peel and stick to avoid bubbles.
• Overlap Sections: Make sure to overlap sheets by at least a few inches when laying them down to prevent any gaps where dirt could enter.

Buying Tip: Shield your floors during projects with construction site protection to prevent damage from heavy equipment. Pair this with dust containment systems to keep the air and workspace clean from dust and debris.
