If you've recently found yourself scrambling to source corrugated plastic floor protection after your usual supplier let you down, you're not alone. Building contractors, shopfitters, flooring specialists, and property managers across the UK are all asking the same question right now: where can I buy correx quickly, reliably, and without paying over the odds?
We've been asked this a lot lately, so we thought it was time to set the record straight. Indigo Supplies has been supplying temporary floor protection since 1998, and we hold substantial stock of both standard and fire retardant correx, ready to ship across the UK. Whether you need a single roll for a small refurbishment or a full pallet for a large commercial site, we can help — and we won't be beaten on price.
What is correx and why does it matter for floor protection?
Correx is a brand name for corrugated plastic sheeting, made from twin-wall polypropylene. It's lightweight, waterproof, and surprisingly tough for something so thin, which is exactly why it's become the go-to material for protecting floors, worktops, and other surfaces during construction, renovation, and fit-out projects.
You might also see it referred to as correx roll, antinox, corex, or even florprotec — different names, same job. Whatever term your team uses, if you're after a durable, easy-to-lay solution for protecting flooring during works, correx is almost certainly what you're picturing.
Unlike polythene sheeting, which offers a basic barrier but tears easily under foot traffic and heavy tools, correx provides genuine structural protection. It can handle trolleys, ladders, dropped tools, and constant foot traffic without giving way — which is precisely why it's trusted on building sites, in retail fit-outs, and across residential renovations nationwide.
Why are so many buyers searching for a new correx supplier right now?
The temporary floor protection market has seen some upheaval recently, and a number of businesses that relied on a single major supplier have found themselves needing to source correx floor protection elsewhere at short notice. If that sounds familiar, here's the good news: switching suppliers doesn't have to mean switching quality, service, or price.
At Indigo Supplies, we hold deep stock of both standard and fire retardant correx sheet and roll formats, so we're able to step in quickly when other suppliers can't deliver. We understand that a hold-up in floor protection can delay an entire project, and we've built our stock levels and logistics around avoiding exactly that problem.
What correx floor protection products do we stock?
We keep a genuinely comprehensive range on the shelf, including:
- Correx sheet in various sizes, including 1.2m x 2.4m boards in both black and white
- Correx roll floor protection, ideal for covering large open areas quickly
- Fire retardant correx, tested and certified to LPS 1207 — the industry benchmark for temporary protective materials used on construction sites
- Flame retardant correx worktop protectors, sold in bulk packs for kitchen fitters and shopfitters
- Custom printed correx, for businesses that want their branding on the floor protection they leave behind on site
If you need something a little different, we also make correx to bespoke sizes and specifications. Just give our team a call on 01268 768 768 and we'll get you sorted.
Standard vs fire retardant correx: which one do you actually need?
This is one of the most common questions we get, so let's clear it up.
Choose standard correx if you're working in a domestic setting or on a project where fire safety certification isn't a contractual requirement — for example, protecting laminate flooring during a kitchen refit or covering carpets during a house move.
Choose fire retardant correx (LPS 1207) if you're working on a commercial site, in a public building, or anywhere fire safety documentation is required by a site manager, insurer, or local authority. LPS 1207 is the UK's recognised standard for temporary protective materials, and many principal contractors won't allow non-certified materials on site at all. If in doubt, ask your site manager — or ask us, and we'll point you in the right direction.
How does correx compare to other floor and carpet protection options?
There's no shortage of products marketed as floor covering or carpet protection, so it's worth understanding where correx fits in:
- Correx vs polythene sheeting: Polythene is cheaper but offers minimal impact resistance. Correx wins comfortably for any area with foot traffic or tool use.
- Correx vs cardboard: Cardboard soaks up spills and tears under weight. Correx is waterproof and rigid, holding its shape through the entire job.
- Correx vs carpet film: Self-adhesive carpet film is great for light residential protection, but it isn't built for heavy-duty or long-duration commercial jobs the way correx is.
If your project involves anything more demanding than a light domestic job — think building sites, retail fit-outs, or multi-week renovations — correx is almost always the more sensible temporary floor covering choice.
Can you get correx made to a custom size or with your own branding?
Yes, and this is something we specialise in. Whether you need oversized sheets to fit an unusual space, a non-standard thickness for extra durability, or fully custom printed correx featuring your company logo, we can produce it to your specification. Custom printed correx is particularly popular with contractors who want their branding visible on site — a subtle way of reminding everyone (including the client) who did the tidy, professional job.
