CORREX® Sheets – 2mm Thick (Protection Boards 2.4m x 1.2m)

CORREX® sheets are a simple, reliable way to protect finished surfaces during building and renovation work. Whether you are fitting a kitchen, decorating a property or managing a busy construction site, these lightweight protection sheets help shield floors, stairs, worktops and other vulnerable surfaces from dust, dirt, paint splashes and everyday site traffic.

Made from durable fluted polypropylene, CORREX sheets are designed to take the knocks and mess that come with modern building work while remaining lightweight enough to move, cut and install in minutes. The 2.4m x 1.2m sheet size offers excellent coverage, making them ideal for both domestic projects and larger commercial fit-outs where fast, reusable protection matters.

The twin-wall fluted construction gives the boards their strength without adding unnecessary weight. Two solid outer layers sit around a ribbed core, creating a rigid but flexible sheet that handles foot traffic, tools and materials without constantly creasing or shifting underfoot. At 2mm thick, the boards sit flat and provide dependable protection without becoming bulky or awkward to carry around site.

Unlike cardboard floor coverings or old-style dust sheets, CORREX sheets are water-resistant and easy to clean. Wet boots, paint drips and spills wipe away easily rather than soaking through to the surface underneath, helping reduce the risk of damage to hardwood flooring, tiles, worktops and recently finished surfaces.

Why builders and decorators use CORREX sheets

Each sheet covers 2.88 square metres, so even smaller packs can protect a surprisingly large area. A pack of ten boards covers just under 29 square metres, which is often enough for hallways, staircases and multiple rooms within a standard home renovation project.

One of the biggest advantages of CORREX sheets is how quickly they can be installed and moved around site. The sheets can be trimmed to size using a Stanley knife, taped into position and repositioned throughout different stages of a job as trades move from room to room. Once finished, the boards can simply be lifted, cleaned off and reused again on the next project.

The 2mm thickness strikes a practical balance for most applications. Thinner sheets can crease or tear too easily under constant use, while thicker boards are often harder to stack, transport and store. These boards remain lightweight and manageable while still offering excellent day-to-day surface protection.

Choosing the best sheet colour for the job

Different colour options offer different practical benefits depending on the working environment. White and translucent boards help brighten darker rooms and allow decorators to inspect surfaces more easily without removing the protection. Black and grey boards are popular on busier sites because they hide footprints, dust and general dirt far more effectively throughout the working day.

Translucent CORREX sheets are especially useful when covering newly finished surfaces, fresh screeds or sealed flooring, allowing visibility underneath the board without disturbing the protection itself. This can help spot moisture issues or monitor drying times before problems develop further.

Available in quantities from 10 sheets, these protection boards are suitable for everything from single-room refurbishments to large-scale commercial developments. Lightweight, reusable and easy to handle, CORREX boards have become a go-to solution for contractors, decorators and tradespeople looking for dependable temporary surface protection that works in real-world site conditions.
