Weight and thickness are key features to consider when investing in floor protection products. The weight affects convenience in terms of portability, while the thickness determines the level of protection. In this guide, we’ll highlight their functions and help you choose the best choice for your needs.
What Does Weight Play in Floor Protection?
The weight of floor protection contributes to the product’s ease of use and portability. Weight, as the term suggests, refers to how heavy or light the material used is. The lighter it is, the easier it will be to carry and move around during construction or renovations. This aspect can vary depending on the manufacturer and the thickness of the product.
What Role Does Thickness Have in Floor Protection?
The thickness determines the level of protection the product offers to the underlying floor surface. This means that the thicker it is, the larger the gap it can create between the floor and the object above. Thickness varies based on the manufacturer and the material used.
The Impact of Thickness on Weight
The weight of floor protection can also depend on the thickness of the product. In some cases, the thicker the product, the heavier it may be. However, some options are made from materials that stay light but can be of different thicknesses.
Floorgard Corry Board is a fitting example — designed with corrugated plastic featuring a twin-walled structure. The corrugated polypropylene material itself is lightweight, but the twin-walled design, which creates the sandwich layer that acts as a buffer, determines its thickness.
Thinner sheets, ranging from 2mm to 3mm, are lighter and ideal for light-duty applications, such as protecting hardwood floors from light debris and paint spills. Moving up to 4mm-6mm thickness, which offers an enhanced buffer than the thinner ones. The thickness option available for Floorgard Corry Board is 10mm.
