Construction sites, renovation projects, and commercial spaces all share a common challenge: protecting existing surfaces from damage during work. Whether you're dealing with dropped tools, chemical spills, or heavy foot traffic, the right temporary floor protection solution can save thousands in repair costs and keep your project running smoothly.
At Indigo Supplies, we've been helping businesses protect their surfaces since 1998, and we've seen it all. From paint disasters that could make a grown contractor weep to tool drops that would make your insurance company cringe, we know that prevention is always better than cure. That's why our Correx roll has become our number one selling product—and quite frankly, it's easy to see why.
Correx, also known as Antinox, is a twin-wall corrugated plastic material that offers unparalleled protection for floors, carpets, and surfaces. This isn't just another bit of plastic sheeting—it's engineered protection that stands up to the toughest job site conditions whilst being surprisingly easy to work with.
What Makes Correx Roll the Gold Standard for Surface Protection?
When you're looking for reliable surface protection, you need a material that ticks all the boxes. Correx roll delivers on every front, offering a combination of durability, versatility, and ease of use that's hard to beat.
The secret lies in its twin-wall construction. Unlike single-layer plastic sheets that tear at the first sign of trouble, corrugated plastic features parallel walls connected by vertical ribs. This creates a lightweight yet incredibly strong material that can handle serious punishment whilst remaining flexible enough for easy installation.
Unmatched Protection Against Common Hazards
Tool Drop Resistance: Every tradesperson knows the sinking feeling of watching a hammer or drill bit slip from their hands. With Correx roll protection, that momentary lapse doesn't become a costly repair job. The material's impact resistance means your floors stay pristine, even when gravity gets the better of your grip.
Chemical and Paint Spill Protection: Building sites are messy places. From paint splashes to adhesive spills, liquids have a nasty habit of ending up where they shouldn't. Correx creates an impermeable barrier that keeps these substances away from your valuable surfaces, making cleanup a breeze rather than a nightmare.
Debris and Dust Shield: Construction dust gets everywhere—it's practically a law of physics. But with proper temporary floor protection in place, you can contain the mess and protect underlying surfaces from the grinding action of dust and small debris.
Installation Made Simple: Quick and Professional Results
One of the biggest advantages of Correx roll is how straightforward it is to install. We've all been on jobs where the protection takes longer to put down than the actual work, but that's not the case here.
The roll format means you can quickly cover large areas without the fiddly process of positioning multiple sheets. Simply roll it out, cut to size with a standard utility knife, and you're ready to go. The material lies flat naturally, so you won't be battling with corners that want to curl up or sections that refuse to stay put.
For areas requiring extra security, the material can be easily taped down using standard adhesive tape. The smooth surface accepts tape well without leaving residue when removed, making the end-of-job cleanup as painless as possible.
Beyond Basic Protection: Specialist Applications and Custom Solutions
Fire and Flame Retardant Options
Safety regulations don't take a day off, and neither should your protection materials. Our fire retardant correx and flame retardant floor protection options meet LPS 1207 LPCB standards, ensuring your project remains compliant with fire safety requirements.
This certification isn't just a nice-to-have—it's essential for many commercial and public sector projects. Having the right paperwork can mean the difference between a smooth project sign-off and costly delays whilst you source compliant materials.
Custom Printing: Professional Branding Meets Practical Protection
Your temporary surface protection can do double duty as a marketing tool with our custom printed correx service. Add your company name, logo, or even safety messages to create a professional appearance that sets your business apart from the competition.
This isn't just about looking good (though it certainly doesn't hurt). Printed floor protection serves as a constant reminder of your brand presence throughout the project duration. When clients and other contractors see your branded protection materials, it reinforces your professional approach and attention to detail.
Versatility Across Industries and Applications
Construction and Renovation Projects
Building sites are the obvious application for correx roll protection, but the applications go far beyond basic construction. Renovation work often requires even more care, as you're working around existing finishes that may be impossible to replace or repair.
Whether you're refurbishing a Victorian mansion or updating a modern office space, carpet protection ensures that your work doesn't create additional problems for the property owner.
Event and Exhibition Setup
Large-scale events require extensive setup work, often in venues with expensive flooring. Temporary carpet protection allows crews to work efficiently without worrying about damage from equipment, staging, or the inevitable coffee spill.
The professional appearance of correx also means it can often remain in place during events if needed, providing ongoing protection without detracting from the venue's appearance.
Manufacturing and Industrial Applications
Factory floors and industrial surfaces face unique challenges. Heavy machinery, chemical exposure, and constant foot traffic all take their toll. Corrugated plastic protection provides a durable barrier that can handle these demanding conditions whilst being cost-effective enough for regular replacement.
The Economics of Prevention: Why Correx Roll Makes Financial Sense
Let's talk numbers, because at the end of the day, every business decision comes down to the bottom line. The cost of correx roll protection is a fraction of what you'd pay for surface repairs or replacement.
Consider a typical commercial carpet installation. Replacing damaged carpet in a single room can cost thousands, not to mention the disruption to business operations. Compare that to the modest investment in temporary floor protection, and the choice becomes obvious.
But the financial benefits extend beyond avoiding repair costs. Professional site protection demonstrates your commitment to quality and care, factors that can influence client satisfaction and future business opportunities.
Time Savings and Efficiency Gains
Proper protection also saves time during the cleanup phase. Instead of spending hours trying to remove paint splashes or grinding dust from surfaces, you simply roll up the protection material and dispose of it. This efficiency gain means your team can move on to the next job faster, improving overall productivity.
Technical Specifications and Available Options
Understanding the technical aspects of correx helps ensure you select the right specification for your application.
Thickness Options
Different projects require different levels of protection. Light renovation work might be fine with standard thickness material, whilst heavy construction projects need the extra durability of thicker grades. We stock various thicknesses to match your specific requirements.
Size Flexibility
One size definitely doesn't fit all when it comes to surface protection. Our made-to-order service means you can specify exactly the dimensions you need, reducing waste and ensuring optimal coverage for your project.
Colour Choices
While function comes first, colour can play an important role in site protection. Different colours can help identify protected areas, match company branding, or simply provide a more professional appearance.
