Protecting Stairs? We've Got You Covered.

Customers are often reaching out to us in person about protecting all sorts of finishes, no matter how big or seemingly tricky. One common household feature that ticks both of those boxes is stairs. Heaps of great options are available for floors of every type, yet some people believe that few products for stairs exist. Fortunately, two great options are available; Adhesive Felt Max and RamBoard Stair Armor. 

Our new Adhesive Felt Max has proven to be an extremely versatile finish protection. Because it is so good at protecting so many different surfaces, it has become a local hit for protecting stairs among our local custom homebuilders. 

This material has a soft textile top layer bonded to an adhesive plastic base; allowing it to be both soft to the touch and durable all while staying securely in place. Stairs, tubs, countertops, appliances and more are all commonly protected with Adhesive Felt Max protection. Rolls are available in 39" wide by 82' sizes, totaling 267 square feet per roll. 

Another popular option for protecting stairways is RamBoard's Stair Armor. Stair Armor is made from a durable paper based material like RamBoard and many other comparable protection products. This makes it affordable and easy to trim to size if needed. Stair Armor only requires tape for installation (such as 14 Day Edge Tape), and is offered in packs of 6 tread protectors per unit. Stair Armor is 34" wide, ensuring hat no cutting is needed on standard residential staircases.

New Surface Protection Tapes Now Available

We carry a wide array of tapes for a near endless variety of uses and finish protection; however we're always on the lookout for more. As such, we've added a few new tapes for even more finish protection applications. 

14-day Edge Tape is a new RamBoard tape developed with hardwood floors in mind. It is rated for two weeks on hardwood floors, and is designed not to leave residue within that timeframe. This tape is bright orange which serves as a great visual aid to demarcate where floor protection is in place. This tape is 2.5" x 180', and we recommend one roll of tape per 100' of floor protection. 

 

We have also added another green plastic based tape in addition to our popular Clean Green tape. 90-day Edge Tape is a durable, repositionable, plastic tape rated for up to 90 day usage. This is a great option for long term projects and for use on concrete floors, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. This tape is available in 1.89" width x 164' length. 

These tapes are ideal for a wide array of surface protection products. Paper based floor protection such as RamBoard, Stair Armor, and variants of builders paper products require tapes for usage on floors and counter tops. Durable, resuable plastic products such as CoverGuard and Tuf-Guard are also both compatible with these tapes in applications for hardwood and concrete.

So far we've seen Sheltex-14 used in elevator cabs, secured around handrails, on stairs, covering furniture and other wood fixtures, and as a soft, secure hardwood floor protection. Because it can easily be cut to specific size, Sheltex can be used for specialized applications such as custom tubs/showerpans and on high-end stainless steel furnishings.
