FloorShell Is the Do-It-All Surface Protection for Floors

The most common floor protection you'll find on a typical jobsite is either going to be builders paper or reinforced fiber products such as FloorShell. Both are cost effective, easy to use and cut to size, and recyclable. However, Floorshell offers so much more protection than paper it is clearly the more worthwhile option.

Floorshell paired with Clean & Safe

Each roll of Trimaco's FloorShell measures 38" x 317' - a total of 317 sqft per roll. It is 45 mils thick, which allows it to stand up to heavy machinery as well as dropped tools. While it is strong, it is also easy to cut to size with a standard razor blade, so it can be quickly modified to fit the flooring of any floorplan. FloorShell is quickly fastened down to floors or to other sheets of FloorShell with the specially designed FloorShell Seam Tape.

FloorShell is ideal for home remodel projects

FloorShell is identical to the other popular breathable fiber board product, RamBoard, so if you are familiar with RamBoard then FloorShell will work perfectly for your project as well. The breathable materials of these two products ensure that curing floors are not damaged by being covered and protected. Breathability most commonly applies to concrete and some new hardwood finishes. Furthermore, while it allows gas vapors to escape, it is spillproof and will prevent liquids from damaging surfaces.

Read Our Latest Press Release About Providing Carpet Film and RamBoard

Builders Site Protection has published our latest press release detailing involvement in two Portland-area projects. These two multifamily projects are among LMC Construction's largest to date.

The Arbory multipurpose project in Beaverton, Oregon

Carpet Film and RamBoard are the focus of the latest press release. Hundreds of thousands of square feet of carpeted and hardwood flooring required protection across two massive multi-use projects. To protect interior hallways RamBoard was used as it is both cost-effective and durable against heavy foot and equipment traffic. Once inside units, carpet film was used to keep carpeting clean and spotless.

Our website features a "Press Releases" tab that conveniently groups all of our past press releases into one easy to read list. You can find everything there from new product releases to awarded scholarship information.

Brush Up On Concrete Surface Protection Options

As commercial construction continues to roar on, surface protection for concrete has become one of the most common requests we receive from builders. Any work to fix or replace concrete is extremely time intensive, and also commonplace as heavy machinery and tools are used on and above finish slabs. Fortunately concrete can be one of the most straightforward finishes to protect on a jobsite.

CoverGuard protecting a hospital floor

RamBoard is among the most popular floor protection products in the industry. Useful on concrete, decorative concrete, hardwood, tile, and just about everything else, RamBoard is the most cost-effective breathable concrete protection available. RamBoard is sold in 38" x 100' rolls, and starts at $54.90/roll, with discounts available on pallet quantities of 16 or greater.

EZ Cover is another leading concrete surface protection option. Breathable and often spec'd in for concrete projects, EZ Cover allows concrete to harden and cure underneath, while providing two layers of impact protection. EZ Cover is the ideal protection for colored slabs and other high-end decorative concrete work.

CoverGuard is a very strong plastic based surface protection, good for use on cured slabs, as it isn't breathable. It is a diamond-plated hard plastic floor protection that can be hosed down and reused, and also cut to shape on a jobsite. CoverGuard is available in three thicknesses, as well as in a fire-resistant formulation for hospital jobsites. CoverGuard is available in 36" and 72" rolls, and we currently stock the 36" rolls.

Surface Protection for Commercial Construction Projects

Commercial construction is booming. Even in metro areas such as Houston where overall building starts are down, commercial construction is thriving. Companies need office space, labs, and auditoriums and commercial contractors are delivering. With this building boom also comes a glut of surface protection issues on jobsites.

Commercial construction projects often run into different jobsite surface protection problems than residential projects do. For example, at the Knight Cancer Center in Portland, Oregon we were tasked with providing protection for specialty lab panels that were made bespoke for this building. Using a mix of our products including DoorGuard Plus and All-Protect we could create the surface protection solution needed. Particularly in hospital and lab settings builders have to construct complicated and custom features unique to that project.

Large scale concrete floors, glass panels, and lots of doors are the most commonly protected surfaces on commercial projects. Builders have relied on our RamBoard, CoverGuard, and Tuf-Guard for protecting their concrete slabs. Corrugated plastic sheets have been used to protect walls and hallways in military barracks projects and even in university landscaping applications. We custom cut hundreds of corrugated sheets to protect curtain wall components for San Diego's recently completed courthouse.

With a wide variety of products, materials, and applications, just about any commercial finish and surface can be protected from damage. Just because a product for that specific purpose isn't listed on a website or in a catalog doesn't mean that there aren't materials suited to protect it. If you have any surface protection needs let us know, as we've created packages for all manner of finishes, surfaces, and sizes.
