Professional Grade Ram Board - Paper-Based Floor Protection

The Industry Standard for Heavy-Duty Job Site Floor Protection: Ram Board

Meta Description: Trusted by contractors worldwide. Our multi-layer paper-based Ram Board offers unmatched puncture resistance and water repellency for the toughest construction and renovation sites.

Introduction
In the demanding environment of new construction and full-scale renovations, only the toughest floor protection will do. Our Professional Grade Ram Board is the undisputed industry standard, trusted by contractors to protect installed flooring from the moment it goes down until the final clean-up. This isn’t ordinary cardboard; it’s an engineered material composed of multiple layers of dense kraft paper, saturated with polymers for strength and water resistance. It lays down flat, stays put, and withstands everything from rolling tool carts and heavy foot traffic to spills and dropped debris.

Product Features & Benefits

• Exceptional Puncture & Tear Resistance: The cross-laminated fiber construction gives Ram Board incredible toughness, protecting floors from scratches, dings, and gouges caused by sharp tools, lumber, and heavy equipment.

• Water-Repellent & Spill Protective: The polymer saturation causes liquids to bead up on the surface, providing time for cleanup. It protects against water, mud, drywall compound, and light paint spills, preventing them from reaching the subfloor or finished surface underneath.

• Walkable Surface & Secure Installation: Its textured surface provides secure footing, reducing slip hazards. It can be easily taped with heavy-duty contractor’s tape to create seamless, gap-free coverage over large areas, and it remains flat without curling at the edges.

• Breathable & Floor-Safe: Unlike solid plastic, it allows moisture vapor to escape from concrete subfloors, preventing the buildup that can damage wood flooring or adhesives. It is also non-staining and safe for all floor types.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: How long can Ram Board be left down?
  A: It is designed for medium to long-term protection and can be left in place for several months during a construction project. For projects exceeding 6 months, check its condition periodically.

• Q: Can it be used under appliances?
  A: Absolutely. It is an excellent barrier to protect floors when sliding refrigerators, stoves, or heavy cabinets into place during the final stages of a kitchen installation.

• Q: Is it recyclable?
  A: Due to the polymer treatment, standard municipal paper recycling may not accept it. Check with your local waste management provider. Many contractors repurpose or reuse sections on multiple jobs.
