Fire rated Correx protection roll in 2mm black. The 1m x 50m roll covers large floor areas quickly and meets fire certification requirements for commercial sites, schools, hospitals and controlled environments.
Correx Fire Rated Protection Roll gives you temporary surface protection that satisfies the fire certification requirements increasingly written into commercial site specs. At 2mm thick and 1 metre wide across a 50 metre roll, this black Correx roll covers a serious area before you need another one. When the project calls for fire rated materials and you need floors, stairs and finished surfaces protected during the dirty phases of a build, fire-rated Correx rolls are the straightforward answer to a compliance question that would otherwise slow the job down.
The fluted polypropylene twin-wall construction is what makes Correx perform on site. Those internal channels distribute impact, cushion dropped tools and resist point loading far better than solid sheet of equivalent weight. At 2mm, this roll sits in a useful middle ground: thick enough to guard against scuffs, scratches and light impacts from foot traffic and sack trucks, but thin enough to roll out quickly and trim with a standard Stanley knife. No specialist cutting equipment needed, which matters when you are trying to get protection down before the second fix team arrives.
The black colour is a practical choice for a product that may stay down for weeks. Boot marks, dust and general site grime barely show on black, which means the protection still looks presentable during client walkthroughs rather than looking like a crime scene by day three.
Where Fire Rated Correx Rolls Are Used
On commercial sites, schools, hospitals, hotels and any project where fire safety documentation is scrutinised during inspections, standard Correx may not meet the specification. Fire rated Correx is manufactured with the certification built into the material itself, not applied as a surface coating that wears away under foot traffic. That distinction matters: the fire rating does not degrade as the roll takes a beating on site, so you are not creating an undocumented compliance gap halfway through a long fit-out.
For contractors working in occupied or sensitive buildings, the fire rating removes a variable from the risk assessment. Hot work permits, stray sparks and the general unpredictability of a busy site are facts of life. Having fire rated temporary protection already specified and in place means one less conversation with the site manager and one less item flagged during an inspection.
Roll Format on Large Floor Areas
The 50 metre roll format has a clear practical advantage over pre-cut sheet boards when covering corridors, hallways and open floor areas. Fewer joins means less tape, less trip hazard at the edges and a faster lay overall. On stairs, you cut sections to fit each tread without awkward offcuts. The roll stores upright and takes up considerably less floor space than a pallet of boards. When the job finishes, it rolls back up, goes in the skip and the floor underneath comes out unmarked. At 2mm thick, the Correx Fire Rated Protection Roll will not cause door clearance issues in most situations, which is one of those small details that saves a pointless argument at the end of a project.
Pro Tip: Tape all overlapping joints and perimeter edges with a low-tack floor protection tape rather than standard duct tape, as aggressive adhesives can pull at delicate floor finishes when the Correx is lifted after a long installation period.
Correx Fire Rated Protection Roll is used across commercial fit-out, refurbishment and new build projects wherever temporary floor protection is required alongside fire compliance documentation. It is regularly specified for use in schools, hospitals, hotels and public buildings where fire safety requirements are audited. Decorators, second fix joiners, flooring contractors and M&E teams all use it to protect finished and part-finished floors during the later stages of a build. It works equally well on hard floor surfaces including tile, stone, timber, laminate and vinyl.

Correx Fire Rated Protection Roll is straightforward to lay. No adhesive, priming or specialist tools are required. The roll cuts cleanly with a standard knife and straight edge, and a single person can lay it across large floor areas quickly.
On stairs, cut individual sections to cover each tread and riser, overlapping slightly at the nosing and securing with low-tack floor protection tape. On flat floors, roll out and trim to the room dimensions, butt or slightly overlap joins, and tape all edges and joins to prevent the sheet lifting under foot traffic. Keep the floor surface clean and dry before laying to avoid trapping grit underneath, which can scratch delicate floor finishes despite the protection on top.
Ensure the floor surface is clean, dry and free from loose grit or debris before laying.
Unroll the Correx Fire Rated Protection Roll across the floor area, smooth side down where applicable.
Trim to length and width using a sharp knife and straight edge.
Butt joins tightly together or overlap slightly across large areas.
Secure all joins and perimeter edges with a low-tack floor protection tape.
On stairs, cut individual sections per tread, overlap at the nosing and tape securely.
Inspect periodically on longer installations to check tape has not lifted at edges.
When the work is complete, lift the roll carefully and dispose of or recycle as appropriate.
What fire rating does this Correx roll carry?
The Correx Fire Rated Protection Roll is manufactured from fire rated polypropylene, with the fire classification built into the base material rather than applied as a surface treatment. This means the fire rating is not affected by normal site wear and foot traffic. If you need specific fire classification documentation for a project spec or site inspection, contact us and we can provide the relevant certification details.
Can this roll be used on underfloor heating systems?
Correx protection rolls are generally suitable for use over underfloor heating systems that are turned off or set to a low maintenance temperature during the protection period. Avoid laying Correx over active high-temperature UFH systems, as prolonged heat exposure can distort the polypropylene. Always check the floor manufacturer's guidance if the heating is running during a renovation.
How does the 50 metre roll compare to buying pre-cut Correx sheets?
The 50 metre roll format is more practical for covering long corridors, hallways and large open floor areas in one run, with fewer joins and less tape required. Pre-cut sheets suit smaller or more confined spaces where a roll is awkward to manoeuvre. For most commercial floor protection jobs, the roll format is faster to lay and wastes less material.
Correx Fire Rated Protection Roll is manufactured from twin-wall fluted polypropylene with fire retardant properties integrated into the polymer compound. The twin-wall channel structure provides a combination of impact absorption and compressive strength that solid sheet of equivalent weight cannot match. The 2mm thickness and black pigmentation are consistent throughout the material. The roll format measures 1 metre wide by 50 metres long and can be cut using standard hand tools without specialist equipment.
