Protection

Protecting your flooring investment is crucial, especially when you want to maintain its beauty and durability for years. Whether you're renovating, moving, or just want to keep your floors in top condition, floor protection is essential. 

At TimberTown, we offer a comprehensive range of floor protection products designed to suit various needs and budgets.

Floors are one of the most exposed areas in any home or commercial space. Daily activities, heavy foot traffic, and accidental spills can lead to wear and tear, scratches, or even permanent damage. This is where floor protection comes in. Whether you have hardwood, laminate, tile, or carpet, protecting your floors from potential harm can save you thousands in repair and replacement costs.

Benefits of using floor protection products:

• Preventing scratches and scuffs. High heels, furniture, and pet claws can easily scratch the surface of your flooring.
• Avoiding water damage. Spills and moisture can seep into flooring materials, especially wood, leading to warping or mold growth.
• Reducing maintenance costs. Regular use of floor protection products reduces the need for frequent cleaning, polishing, and refinishing.
• Prolonging the lifespan of your floors. Protected floors last longer, maintaining their aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.

Furniture pads are small, cushioned pieces that stick to the bottom of furniture legs. They are essential for preventing scratches when moving furniture. These pads are available in various sizes and materials, including felt, rubber, and plastic.

• Where to use: Ideal for hardwood and laminate floors.
• Cost: Extremely cost-effective.

Choosing the right floor protection product depends on several factors, including the type of flooring you have, the nature of the activity in the space, and your budget. Here are some guidelines to assist you in making the best decision:

• Consider the flooring type. Hardwood and laminate floors require different protection than carpets or tiles. Make sure to choose a product that is compatible with your flooring material.
• Evaluate the protection level. For minor protection, like preventing scratches from furniture, furniture pads or protective films are sufficient. For more significant protection, such as during a renovation, opt for surface shields or temporary protection boards.
• Budget considerations. While floor protection is an investment, it doesn’t have to break the bank. TimberTown offers a range of products to meet different budget levels, ensuring you get the protection you need at a price you can afford.
• Ease of application. Some products, like furniture pads, are simple to apply, while others, like protective films, might require more effort. Consider how much time and effort you’re willing to invest in applying the protection.

The cost of floor protection varies depending on the type of product, the size of the area you need to cover, and the quality of the materials. Here’s a general breakdown:

• Surface shields. Generally range from $0.50 to $2 per square foot.
• Protective films. Typically cost between $0.75 and $1.50 per square foot.
• Furniture pads. Available in packs, costing between $5 to $20 depending on the number and size of pads.
• Drop cloths and mats. Prices start at around $10 for smaller mats, and up to $50 or more for larger, heavy-duty options.
• Temporary floor protection boards. These are the most expensive, ranging from $1.50 to $4 per square foot.
