Challenge

On fast-paced construction projects, protecting finished surfaces from damage is essential. Traditional solutions like cardboard are often wasteful, labor-intensive to install, and difficult to reuse. One of Alberta’s most respected general contracting companies sought a more efficient and cost-effective solution for floor and surface protection on their projects.

Solution

Armour Defender-Guard

The contractor implemented Armour Defender-Guard as a protective solution during several phases of a large-scale commercial build. The Defender-Guard, known for its durable, reusable composition, was deployed in high-traffic areas to protect newly installed flooring and finishes from scratches, dirt, and impact.

  • Ease of Use: Quick to install and reposition, saving valuable labor time.
  • Reusability: Withstood wear and tear over the course of the project and was re-rolled for use on the next job.
  • Cost Savings: Reduced waste and replacement costs compared to single-use cardboard.
  • Sustainability: Less product waste aligns with the company’s environmental initiatives.

Conclusion

Defender Guard proved to be the smarter choice over traditional cardboard—offering ease of use, durability, and long-term cost savings. This success has prompted the contractor to implement Armour Defender-Guard as their standard on future projects.
