Which floor protection should you use for high traffic areas?

Why do you need floor protection?

No matter whether it’s a major construction project or a smaller refurbishment job, temporary floor protection is essential for minimising damage and reducing snags during building work. Using floor protection means that if you drop a tool, spill paint or forget to take dirty footwear off, the floor surfaces will be protected and could save you the cost of replacing the damaged floor. Here at Proguard we have an extensive selection of high quality floor protection materials to choose from and something for every job.

 

Why is floor protection good for high-traffic areas?

Our high-quality floor protection is heavy duty, making it suitable for use in highly-trafficked areas. With the products being impact, slip and water resistant, you are able to protect against wet foot traffic, creating a safer environment for workers. If you are looking for something to use with heavy plant machinery, including scissor lifts and fork trucks, our ultra-tough floor protection is ideal for this traffic. Made from crush-resistant polypropylene, these products provide extremely heavy duty, long-lasting protection.

 

External Ground Protection

proguard e-mat heavy duty

We have an extensive range of floor protection suitable for external use, including the Proguard E-Mat Heavy Duty Access Mat. This is the premier product for temporary access for higher loads up to 80 tonnes. It is a high-quality mat manufactured from 100% recycled HDPE, weighing only 35Kg. This makes them highly versatile and the preferred choice for many large construction sites. E-Mat is also flexible, this allows the mats to conform to the ground underneath, meaning that the surface underneath is more protected.

Hard Floor Protection
