Floor Protection Guide: Protecting Tiles, Marble and Granite

Premier Floor Protector is a dependable covering for any construction site, renovation project or showroom fit-out. Made from high-density Expanded Polyethylene with a blue film laminated surface, it shields tiles, marble and granite from scratches, cracks and stains while work continues around them. The Iretex Premier range of floor protector rolls offers strength, moisture resistance and easy handling on site, making it a practical choice for contractors and homeowners alike.

Why Choose Premier Floor Protector?

1. Shock and Impact Absorption

The high-density EPE layer cushions the floor beneath it, absorbing shock and impact so that a dropped tool or a heavy trolley wheel spreads its force instead of chipping the tile. This makes the rolls well suited to marble, granite, vitrified tiles and other surfaces that damage easily during construction.

2. Water and Dust Resistance

The blue film laminated surface is water-resistant and dust-proof. Paint, grout, adhesive and site dust stay on top of the sheet rather than reaching the flooring beneath, which matters most on porous surfaces where stains cannot be cleaned away later.

3. Lightweight, Flexible and Reusable

The material is light enough to carry and roll out by hand, flexible enough to cut to size, and reusable once lifted carefully. On a phased project the same rolls often cover several floors, which keeps the cost per square metre low across a full site.

4. Durable and Recyclable

Premier Floor Protector resists abrasion under regular foot traffic and equipment movement, and the material is  recyclable at the end of its working life.
