Case Study: How This Victoria Multi-Family Construction Company Cut Floor Protection Costs In Half With Armour Board

Client: Established General Contractor
Product: Armour Protection Board
Location: Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

Challenge

On a large-scale construction site in Victoria, BC, the project team was preparing to protect finished flooring from equipment, debris, and heavy foot traffic. The initial plan involved traditional plywood sheets laid over 6mil poly, a combination that’s heavy, labor-intensive, and costly – both in materials and man hours.

Solution

The contractor turned to Armour Protection Board as a smarter alternative. Lightweight while still providing high-impact protection and durability, it’s specifically engineered for construction environments. It delivers the toughness required to handle real jobsite conditions without the bulk or the need for added poly underneath.

Results

Real jobsite results:

“The protection board we ordered was exactly what we needed. Less than half the cost of plywood that we had planned on using, and the guys can lift ten sheets at a time by themselves instead of two guys moving one sheet at a time. We were planning on having 6mil poly underneath the sheets, but since these are already waterproof there’s no need.”

The Impact

• Cost Savings: Over 50% material savings compared to plywood.
• Labour Efficiency: One person can carry multiple sheets with ease – no more team lifts for each panel.
• No Extra Layers: Built-in water resistance eliminated the need for 6mil poly, simplifying the install process.
• Faster Coverage: Easier handling meant floors were protected faster, keeping the schedule on track.

Why It Matters

In fast-paced builds, every dollar and every minute counts. This contractor’s switch to Armour Protection Board cut material costs in half and significantly reduced labour strain while delivering rugged, reliable surface protection; ready for anything the site throws at it.
