Protect Thresholds and Jambs This Winter

We recently detailed some of the affordable and easy-to-use floor protection products that help with preventing common wintertime damage to floors. Those items included Walk-off Mats, Shoe Covers, and many other types of roll-out floor protection. 

This week, we're taking a quick look at protecting doors and thresholds from wintertime damage - and especially important task given everything comes and goes through entryways. Fortunately, protecting threshold and jambs is an easy task. 

UV Threshold Tape is the most cost effective threshold protection on the market. Rated for 180 day outdoor use, UV Threshold Tape holds up to six months of use - even in direct outdoor sunlight. The 4" width of the roll makes application quick on standard thresholds, and the 180 linear feet means that one roll is sufficient to protect every threshold on multiple homes. Rolls are sold individually or with a  discount by the case of 12.

 

 

Once thresholds have been covered with tape, jambs are next in line to be protected. Fortunately, Jambs are as easy to protect as thresholds. 

RamJam Doorjamb covers are reusable snap-on covers that stay attached to jambs with no need for tapes or adhesives. They can attach to most jambs between 4 and 9 inches wide. At 60" tall, RamJambs cover the majority of a doorjamb, and focus protection on the most damage-prone heights of a jamb. 

 

RamJamb covers are available in boxes of 14, or in quantity discounted cases of 50 for large commercial projects (contact us directly to order by the case).

Walk-off Mats and Shoe Covers Keep Floors Clean & Dry In Winter

The arrival of winter also heralds the arrival of wet weather. Rain, snow, and sleet create mud and often find their way into the floors of homes under construction. Keeping floors clean and dry not only protects finishes in a home, prevention also leads to saving time cleaning. Numerous affordable and easy to use methods are available to keep water and mud out of homes.

Walk-off Mats are among the easiest ways to keep mud and water off of new floors. Laying flat on the ground in front of entryways - these adhesive mats feature removable pages that capture and remove the dirt and debris from the bottom of work boots. Sturdy plastic bases keep the mats in place, and the adhesive pages can be replaced with refill packs. At a size of 24" x 36", these walk-off mats are in essence welcome mats for jobsites.

 

Once the adhesive mats have been used, Shoe Covers are an extremely cost effective second step to protect floors. Multiple types of shoe covers are available, ranging from soft cloth-based (polypropylene) covers to plastic (poly latex) or Tyvek shoe covers ideal for water resistance.

                                       

 Shoe Covers can be bought in packs of 10, 50, 150, or even 500 pairs for large commercial project use.
