Florprotec heavy duty floor card protection roll, 1m wide x 50m long at 700 micron thickness. Temporary floor protection for hard floors on active building sites. Recyclable, vapour-permeable, and cost-effective for short to medium-term projects.
Florprotec Floor Card Protection Roll is a heavy duty floor card solution designed to protect hard floors during construction, fit-out, and renovation work. At 700 micron thickness, this 1m x 50m roll gives you a solid layer of temporary protection against scuffs, dust, foot traffic, and the general punishment that floors take on a working site. It covers 50 square metres per roll, making it a straightforward choice for larger floor areas where lighter grades simply will not hold up.
Floor card protection like this is used when a job does not require flame retardant materials but does need reliable day-to-day coverage. The 700 micron rating places this firmly in the heavy duty category, offering noticeably better resilience than economy grades. If you have got a tiled hallway, polished concrete, or a newly laid hard floor that needs to survive a fortnight of tradespeople walking over it, this is the grade to reach for.
The roll is 1m wide, which suits single-lane corridor and hallway coverage well and also works across larger open floors when sheets are laid side by side. It is light enough to move around site without effort, but the 700 micron thickness means it stays put underfoot rather than bunching or tearing at the edges.
Where Heavy Duty Floor Card Gets Used
This product is a practical choice across residential and commercial projects alike. Builders, decorators, flooring contractors, and facilities teams all use floor card protection as a matter of course. It protects floors from paint drips, plaster dust, dropped tools, and constant foot traffic without costing a significant amount of the job budget. Given that it is recyclable, it is also a straightforward option for contractors managing site waste responsibly.
The Florprotec range covers multiple grades, and the 700 micron heavy duty version makes sense when protection needs to last more than a few days or when site activity is heavier than normal. Lighter grades suit short visits and clean trades; this one suits prolonged works where floors need coverage from first fix through to handover.
Vapour Control
The vapour control properties of this floor card mean moisture can still pass through, which matters when protecting floors over subfloor materials or where trapped moisture could cause problems. It is worth noting this is not a waterproof membrane, but the vapour permeability helps prevent condensation buildup under the protection layer during longer-term installation.
At £55.00 for a 50-metre roll, the cost per square metre is competitive for heavy duty temporary protection. It is also available in a range of sizes including 1m x 25m, 1m x 100m, 2m x 50m, and 2m x 100m, so you can match the roll dimensions to the job rather than cutting down and wasting material. Bulk rolls suit larger commercial sites; shorter rolls are easier to handle on domestic jobs.
Pro Tip: Tape sheet edges to the skirting or adjacent sheets with low-tack masking tape rather than standard packing tape, so removal at the end of the job does not lift any floor finish underneath.
Florprotec 700 micron heavy duty floor card is used on construction and refurbishment sites to protect hard floors including tiles, stone, timber, polished concrete, and luxury vinyl tile during active work. It suits longer-term projects where floors are laid ahead of other trades and need continuous protection through plastering, painting, joinery, and second fix work. It is widely used by main contractors, fit-out teams, flooring installers, and housebuilders who need dependable temporary coverage at a reasonable cost.

Not suitable for: This floor card is not suitable for sites where flame retardant temporary protection is specified, such as certain commercial or public sector contracts. It is also not a waterproof barrier and should not be used as a substitute for a moisture protection membrane.
Cut the Florprotec heavy duty floor card to length using a sharp knife or scissors, then lay sheets across the floor starting from one end of the area. Overlap adjacent sheets by at least 50mm to avoid gaps at the joints. Secure edges and overlaps with low-tack tape to prevent the sheets shifting underfoot and to stop debris getting underneath during the works.
Check the coverage regularly on longer projects. Heavy foot traffic concentrated in specific areas, such as doorways and main walkways, will wear the card faster than open floor areas. Replace or double-layer sections that are showing signs of wear before damage reaches the floor underneath. Remove the floor card carefully at the end of the project, rolling it up as you go to keep debris contained.
Clear the floor of any loose debris before laying the floor card
Unroll the Florprotec card across the floor in manageable lengths
Overlap adjacent sheets by a minimum of 50mm at all joints
Secure sheet edges and overlaps with low-tack tape to prevent movement
Pay particular attention to high-traffic areas such as doorways and corridor junctions
Check condition periodically on longer projects and replace worn sections as needed
At the end of the project, roll the used card up carefully and dispose of or recycle
Is this floor card suitable for use over underfloor heating?
Florprotec heavy duty floor card can be used over underfloor heating systems, but the underfloor heating should not be running at full temperature while the card is down. Prolonged heat exposure can affect the card's performance and potentially trap moisture. If you need to run the heating during a project, check with the flooring manufacturer for their specific guidance on temporary covering over heated systems.
How long can the floor card be left down before it needs to be removed?
The 700 micron heavy duty grade is suitable for short to medium-term projects, typically up to several weeks of active site use. It is not designed for permanent installation. On longer projects, periodically lift a section and check the floor underneath, particularly if moisture could be present, to make sure no discolouration or marking has occurred.
Can the roll be cut down to fit narrower areas or different room shapes?
Yes, the floor card can be cut easily with a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors. The 1m width suits corridors and hallways neatly, but for awkward shapes or smaller areas, simply cut sheets to the required size and use low-tack tape to butt or overlap sections together at the joints.
Florprotec Floor Card Protection Roll is manufactured from recycled and recyclable kraft-based card material at a 700 micron gauge, placing it in the heavy duty grade of the Florprotec range. The construction provides vapour permeability to reduce the risk of moisture buildup beneath the sheet during extended installation. It does not contain flame retardant additives, which keeps the material cost-effective and makes it suitable for standard building site applications where FR certification is not required.
