Floor Protection Solutions For Construction Projects

When you’re knee-deep in a construction project, the last thing you need is for an oversight like floor protection to throw a wrench in the works, right? 

That’s why getting clued up on durable floor protection solutions for your site’s underfoot is more than smart—it’s essential. 

Whether you’re rolling in heavy equipment or just keeping foot traffic from turning your new surfaces into an accidental mosaic, the right floor protection can be the difference between a smooth project and unnecessary, costly fixes. 

So, let’s break it down and get your construction site floors protected from the off.

Why Is Floor Protection Essential In Construction Projects?

In the hustle and bustle of a construction site, floor protection is the unsung hero that saves the day—more than most might realize. 

It’s not just about avoiding scuffs and scratches; it’s about maintaining structural integrity, safety, and cleanliness throughout the project’s lifecycle. 

Protecting floors is essential for preventing damage caused by construction traffic, debris, spills, and heavy machinery, all of which can lead to costly repairs and project delays.

Here’s a closer look at some of the standout products in floor protection, each tailored to different needs within the construction environment:

Armour Protection Board:

Best suited for busy construction sites with high foot traffic and heavy machinery. This board is lightweight, waterproof, flexible, impact resistant, easy to cut, and it lays flat, making it a first choice for many construction professionals.

Armour Premium Carpet Film:

This is your go-to for interior spaces with carpeting. This film provides a temporary, yet extremely effective way to protect carpets from being tracked in dirt, paint spills, dust, debris, and other construction damage. Fully waterproof, it protects up to 45 days with clean removal, and can also be used for construction markings.

Bulldog Board:

Need something even tougher? Bulldog Board is designed for areas where impact resistance is critical. It’s strong enough to take on tools, equipment, and materials being moved around, protecting your floors from serious damage.

Armour Protection Fleece:

Perfect for allowing fresh floors to cure and breathe while being protected, Armour Protection Fleece is fully waterproof while still allowing for vapor permeability thanks to its waterproof top layer and soft, non-woven fibre underside.

Armour Defender-Guard:

A practical choice for ensuring floor safety in less demanding environments, this product is designed to provide sufficient protection against heavy foot traffic while being easy to handle and install. A top choice for projects where floor protection is necessary for an extended amount of time.

Durability And Cost-Effectiveness Of Floor Protection Materials

We know that choosing the right floor protection isn’t just about immediate needs—as project managers and construction professionals, you’re also weighing up things like durability and cost-effectiveness over the life of the project. 

To help, here’s a quick overview of our most durable materials for construction floor protection and the best uses for each.

Case Studies: Successful Floor Protection In Large Construction

Our products have gained a reputation in the construction industry for their quality and effectiveness. Time and time again, customers have found that by using our products they get immediate and noticeable results.

A prime example of this is Crowne Pacific Development. After switching from traditional paperboard protection methods to our Armour Protection Board – Black, their floors had never looked better. Check out what they had to say:

“Armour board was a fantastic investment in our apartment projects. Not only did it remove the constant maintenance of papering and repapering floors, but we saw an absurdly low number of flooring deficiencies throughout the last phases of our project, saving time, coordination and most of all $$$$. Well worth the investment for a developer.”
– Project Manager, Crowne Pacific Development –

Another great example of the impact our products have had is in this project by Bird Construction. They highly recommend the Armour Premium Carpet Film for its versatility across surfaces.

“After using this material on multiple projects to protect a variety of surfaces from ceramic tile to carpet tile I have not found another product that offers the versatility and quality of protection that Axiom Fleece provides. The ease of installation and removal is also a huge advantage and saves time and money on every project I have completed. To add to this the waterproof protection is second to none and I have yet to have an issue with paint etc. seeping through to the finished floor beneath. All around great project at a reasonable price.”

How To Choose The Right Floor Protection Strategy For Your Project

Moving on to the nuts and bolts of choosing floor protection for your construction project. Our friendly Axiom professionals are on hand to assist you with personalised recommendations, but in the meantime, here are four steps we recommend you take when considering which floor protection is right for you:

1. Evaluate the Project Scale
   
   Consider how much ground you need to cover. For big areas, you’ll want a solution that’s not only protective but also cost-effective to deploy, like the Armour Protection Board, which offers extensive coverage without compromising on durability.
   
2. Identify the Flooring Type
   
   It goes without saying, different surfaces require different types of care. Hardwood and tiles will need the gentle yet robust protection of Armour Protection Fleece to prevent scratches, while carpets are best served by our Armour Premium Carpet Film to ward off dust and spills.
   
3. Assess Traffic Levels
   
   The amount and type of traffic can make or break your floor protection plan. High-traffic zones with heavy equipment call for the sturdiness of Bulldog Board, whereas for lighter traffic areas within your construction project, consider using the Armour Defender-Guard Lite.
   
4. Account for Environmental Factors
   
   If your project faces elements like moisture or heavy dirt, choose materials designed to withstand these challenges. The Armour Grip-Terra Mat excels in outdoor or rough conditions, providing stability and safety.

Selecting the ideal solution can be straightforward with a little guidance from our experts at Axiom. Whether it’s understanding the specific needs of your project, discussing custom orders, or even requesting product samples, our team is ready to assist you in making informed decisions.
