If you are going to be working on a project that requires a temporary protection solution, read on to learn why Correx® could be the best solution!

What is Correx sheeting?

Correx protection boards are corrugated plastic that is tough, durable, and impact resistant. It is mainly used as a protection solution such as during a renovation, home removal, or construction job, helping to protect things like floors from any damage. However, they also have many other valuable uses.

This plastic-like cardboard is made from polypropylene and is essentially a twin-walled plastic sheet that is lightweight, easy to manipulate, and ideal for indoor and outdoor use, in the workplace and at home. They can be ordered to specification and in large quantities making them very popular in the building industry.

What can Correx be used for?

Correx has a long list of uses, even beyond a protection solution, and to give you a sense of the possibilities, see highlighted some of the most popular uses for Correx below.

Floor and wall protection

When it comes to building projects like house renovations and decorating, protecting important parts of a building like floors and walls is vital, allowing tradespeople to get on with the job at hand without worrying about drops and spills. Correx is the perfect material for floor and wall protection. As with something like heavy duty polythene sheeting, Correx is ideal for shielding floors. It provides long-lasting, complete surface protection, providing efficient shelter from all sorts of incidents like knocks, scratches, and spills. Correx protection sheets also come in a breathable model to help disperse condensation and allow the floor underneath to breathe.

Door and window protection

Another area in which Correx excels is door and window protection - two important parts of any renovation, building project, or home removal job. When lugging heavy items around a building, removing awkward furniture from a home, or decorating with materials that can cause material damage, doors and windows are two vulnerable areas. Correx boards and sheets can be put in place in such a way to cover both, thanks to how easy they are to tailor to a specific size while also providing sturdy resistance. With doors placed at the bottom of stairs and decoration work around windows, Correx should certainly be considered.

Stair protection

In jobs where you are working in stairways, taking steps to protect the stairs is important. From dripping paint and chemicals to heavy items that might cause damage to the steps if dropped, laying down protection material could make all the difference. Correx can be a great choice here as well, giving the stairs durable protection in case of an accident. Drops and spills can’t always be avoided so Correx will provide peace of mind and the fact that it can be reused makes carrying out works on different stairways in the building much more economical.
