Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about temporary floor protection.

Temporary floor protection is a protective covering used during construction, remodeling, painting, renovation, and moving projects to help protect finished floors from dirt, dust, spills, scratches, impact, and heavy foot traffic. Different protection products are available for hardwood, tile, marble, vinyl, concrete, and other surfaces.
Temporary floor protection helps prevent costly damage to finished flooring during construction and renovation. It can protect floors from dirt, dust, liquids, paint spills, scratches, debris, heavy traffic, and minor jobsite accidents while allowing work to continue.
The right product depends on the project and traffic level. Finished Floor Guard is designed for hardwood floors and stairs, while Floor Runner provides reusable, heavy-duty protection for high-traffic areas. Both are designed to protect finished surfaces without unnecessarily restricting the floor's ability to breathe.
Yes. Temporary floor protection products can be used on tile and marble surfaces. ProTect's Floor Runner is specifically designed for hardwood, hard tile, marble, granite, resilient tile, and linoleum floors.
The appropriate duration depends on the specific product. For example, Finished Floor Guard can provide up to 100 days of protection from dirt, scratches, spills, and foot traffic. Other products have different recommended usage periods, so always follow the product's application guidelines.
Heavy-duty products such as Floor Runner, Finished Floor Guard, and WR Hardboard are suitable options for areas exposed to substantial foot traffic or impact. Floor Runner is reusable and designed specifically for high-traffic areas, while WR Hardboard provides heavy-duty impact protection.
Certain products provide water or moisture resistance. For example, WR Hardboard is water resistant for up to 72 hours, while Finished Floor Guard has a non-slip top layer designed to help prevent spills from soaking through. Product selection should be based on the level and duration of moisture exposure expected on the jobsite.
Yes. Temporary floor protection is commonly used during remodeling and renovation to help protect existing floors from construction debris, paint spills, dirt, scratches, and foot traffic. ProTect offers products for hardwood floors and stairs, tile, marble, vinyl, concrete, and other finished surfaces.
Some temporary floor protection products are reusable. ProTect Floor Runner, for example, is designed to be durable and reusable and is made from recycled plastic bottles. Finished Floor Guard is also described as reusable.
Choose floor protection based on the flooring material, traffic level, moisture exposure, impact risk, project duration, and whether flame-rated protection is required. Options include Floor Runner for high-traffic hard surfaces, Finished Floor Guard for finished floors and stairs, WR Hardboard for heavy-duty protection, and Traffic Guard where flame-rated protection is required.
