Case Study: Heavy-Duty Protection, Zero Damage, And Jobsite Peace Of Mind

Client: Construction Professional
Product: Armour Protection Board – Green HD
Location: Finished Lobby with Tile and Inlaid Pedimat

The Challenge

Moving heavy equipment through finished spaces is one of the highest-risk movements on any project. In this case, machinery needed to pass through a completed lobby featuring tile flooring and an inlaid pedimat, surfaces that are especially vulnerable to cracking, chipping, and scuffing. The team required a protection solution capable of handling significant weight and movement while still being gentle enough to preserve the integrity of the finished flooring. Any damage would’ve meant costly repairs, schedule delays, and unnecessary rework.

Our Solution

The team selected Armour Protection Board – Green HD, a high-density surface protection board designed for demanding jobsite conditions. Built to withstand heavy impacts, the protection board provided a stable, durable layer of protection for equipment movement. What made the difference in this application was the fleece backing, which added a soft cushioning barrier between the board and the finished surfaces below. This combination allowed the product to absorb stress from the machinery while preventing abrasion, scratching, or pressure damage to both the tile and the inlaid pedimat.

The Results

When the equipment was moved out through the lobby, the results spoke for themselves. The tile flooring remained completely intact with no cracks, chips, or broken pieces, and the inlaid pedimat showed no signs of damage or shifting. The Armour Protection Board – Green HD handled the weight and movement of the machinery with ease, while the fleece backing delivered a clean, non-abrasive contact that protected the finished surfaces throughout the process. The outcome eliminated the need for repairs or touch-ups and provided confidence that even high-risk transitions through finished areas can be managed safely with the right protection in place.

“Just letting you know that the material (Armour Protection Board – Green HD) worked out amazingly well. The felt side puts a wonderful touch on it. I attached a pic of the machine I had in the lobby on its way out, not a single broken tile in the place and even the inlaid pedimat had no issues, great product.”

This real-world feedback reinforces the value of using a purpose-built, heavy-duty protection system when moving equipment through sensitive areas of a jobsite.

The Takeaway

For contractors and project teams facing similar challenge, Armour Protection Board – Green HD offers a reliable solution for protecting finished floors during some of the most demanding phases of a project. Its ability to combine impact resistance with a soft, surface-safe backing helps reduce risk, prevent costly damage, and keep projects moving forward.
