Ceramic tiles are versatile, fire-resistant, and long-lasting. They’re popular for flooring favoured by builders, DIYers, and homeowners alike. However, they are not crackproof and can be susceptible to damage during renovations. Floorgard Corry Board saves the day by keeping your tiles safe throughout the project.
The Benefits of Floorgard Corry Board for Ceramic Tiles
Here’s how this floor protection can benefit you and your flooring:
1. Impact protection
Floorgard Corry Board is known for its high-impact protection, a key feature that builders depend on. This resistance level comes from its corrugated twin-walled structure, which is designed with two layers of good-quality plastic separated by rigged patterns. You can easily see this design on all sides of the corry board, creating a protective “gap” between the ceramic tiles and anything that might hit them.
Putting these boards on your tiles assures that even if tools, materials, or equipment accidentally fall on the floor during renovations, your tiles will stay safe and undamaged. You can forget about flimsy cardboard and trust in the impact protection offered by Floorgard Corry Board to handle such problems without any hassle.
2. Double fire defense
Ceramic tiles are fire-resistant and pairing them with the FR Floorgard Corry Board doubles the flame resistance. This product is LPCB certified — a certification that confirms its compliance with fire safety standards. This added layer of protection significantly reduces the risk of fire-related damage during renovations.
For instance, activities like using power tools can potentially expose the area to sparks or heat sources. The fire-retardant qualities of the corry board help contain the situation and prevent it from escalating. So, while ceramic tiles themselves don’t catch fire, they’re safe from experiencing glaze damage, which can lead to surface imperfections due to heat exposure.

3. Adaptability for challenging corners
With Floorgard Corry Board, tackling those tricky corners doesn’t have to be a gamble, leaving them vulnerable while the rest of your ceramic tiles are protected. Made from flexible polypropylene (PP), corry board can be folded, creased, or cut to fit into irregularly shaped rooms and obstacles like fixed cabinets. This ensures complete coverage without risking overlaps or breakage, providing full protection for your flooring.
4. Lightweight for easy handling
The lightweight nature of Floorgard Corry Board sets it apart from the typical bulky and heavy materials often found on renovation sites. The PP material used is easier to carry, transport, and install, making it more manageable for DIYers and tradeswomen. This makes tasks easier and saves time, leading to smoother and faster project completion.
