Beyond Basic Plastic: Innovative Materials in Floor Protection

Gone are the days when floor protection meant simple polyethylene sheets. Today, manufacturers are developing sophisticated composites. For instance, leather-textured films offer superior durability and an anti-slip surface, while PO-cotton blends provide cushioning for delicate surfaces like marble or antique wood. PVC-based films, especially transparent and reinforced varieties, offer exceptional tear resistance and chemical protection against spills. Understanding the material science behind these products allows contractors to choose the perfect protection for every specific job site requirement.
