Polished concrete floors are often completed while construction work is still taking place around them.<\/p>\n

Once finished, those floors can be exposed to scissor lifts, wheeled equipment, foot traffic, tools, spills and construction debris for weeks or even months before a project reaches handover.<\/p>\n

This creates a difficult problem for contractors: how do you protect polished concrete from scissor lifts and site traffic without damaging the finished floor underneath?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The right temporary floor protection can help prevent damage while allowing construction work to continue.<\/p>\n

Why Are Scissor Lifts a Risk to Polished Concrete?<\/h2>\n

\"tire<\/p>\n

Scissor lifts and other mobile equipment are commonplace on construction and fit-out projects.<\/p>\n

Although their tyres are designed for use on finished surfaces, repeatedly driving and manoeuvring heavy equipment across polished concrete can still present a risk.<\/p>\n

Damage can be caused by more than the tyres themselves.<\/p>\n

Small pieces of grit, metal fragments, screws and other construction debris can become trapped beneath wheels. As equipment moves across the floor, this debris can potentially scratch or mark the finished surface.<\/p>\n

Turning, stopping and repeatedly travelling over the same areas can increase the amount of stress placed on the floor.<\/p>\n

The result can be scratches, scuffs, staining and other damage that may only become obvious when the project is being prepared for handover.<\/p>\n

Site Traffic Can Cause Damage Too<\/h2>\n

Scissor lifts aren’t the only concern.<\/p>\n

Once a polished concrete floor is exposed, it may experience hundreds of movements every day from workers, trolleys, pallet trucks, mobile access equipment and other construction machinery.<\/p>\n

Tools and materials may also be dropped or dragged across the surface.<\/p>\n

Dust, grit and debris brought in on footwear and wheels can further increase the risk of scratching.<\/p>\n

Add paint, plaster, adhesives, oils and general construction spills into the equation and a newly finished floor can quickly become vulnerable.<\/p>\n

For this reason, polished concrete floor protection should be considered before heavy site traffic begins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Why Basic Floor Coverings May Not Be Enough<\/h2>\n

\"tornThere are several traditional ways of protecting floors during construction, including boards, plastic sheeting, paper and temporary floor films.<\/p>\n

These can provide useful protection in certain applications, but busy construction environments can create additional challenges.<\/p>\n

Individual sheets may move, overlap or become damaged as equipment travels across them.<\/p>\n

Joints and edges can also create areas where dirt and construction debris can work underneath the protection.<\/p>\n

If grit becomes trapped between the temporary covering and the finished concrete, continued traffic across the surface may increase the risk of scratching.<\/p>\n

Temporary protection therefore needs to remain secure while coping with the demands of an active construction site.<\/p>\n

Protecting Polished Concrete With FloorDefend<\/h2>\n

\"ProtectapeelProtectapeel FloorDefend<\/strong><\/a> is a temporary floor protection system developed for smooth, uncoated concrete surfaces.<\/p>\n

Unlike loose sheets of conventional floor protection, FloorDefend combines a textile fabric with a liquid adhesive system.<\/p>\n

The fabric is rolled across the prepared concrete surface before the FloorDefend adhesive is applied over it.<\/p>\n

Once installed and fully cured, the system creates a protective covering designed to withstand both foot and machine traffic during construction.<\/p>\n

This makes FloorDefend particularly suited to projects where polished concrete needs to remain protected while other trades continue working.<\/p>\n

Protection From Scissor Lifts and Wheeled Equipment<\/h2>\n

Construction cannot simply stop because the finished flooring has been installed.<\/p>\n

Trades may still require scissor lifts and other equipment to complete ceilings, lighting, mechanical services, decorating and finishing work.<\/p>\n

FloorDefend allows both machine and foot traffic after the system has been installed and allowed to cure fully for 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Creating a continuous protective layer across the floor helps separate construction activity from the finished concrete underneath.<\/p>\n

The protection should still be regularly inspected during the project, particularly in areas experiencing frequent equipment movement.<\/p>\n

If FloorDefend becomes ripped, torn or damaged, small areas can be repaired with additional adhesive, while larger damaged areas can be patched using new FloorDefend material.<\/p>\n

Protecting Against More Than Traffic<\/h2>\n

\"applyingHeavy traffic is only one potential source of damage on a construction site.<\/p>\n

Polished concrete can also be exposed to dirt, dust, spills and other contamination while work continues.<\/p>\n

A temporary floor protection system creates a working surface above the finished concrete, helping to keep the floor isolated from day-to-day construction activity.<\/p>\n

This can be particularly valuable during fit-out, when multiple trades may be working throughout the same area.<\/p>\n

Instead of leaving the finished floor exposed, contractors can continue working above the temporary protection.<\/p>\n

Long-Term Protection for Construction Projects<\/h2>\n

Construction programmes can change.<\/p>\n

Delays, phased handovers and extended fit-out periods can mean flooring needs to remain protected for much longer than originally anticipated.<\/p>\n

FloorDefend has been developed to provide temporary protection for up to 24 months<\/strong>, making it suitable for longer construction programmes where finished concrete needs protection throughout different stages of the project.<\/p>\n

Regular inspection and maintenance of the protection remains important throughout its use.<\/p>\n

Protecting Other Finished Surfaces During Construction<\/h2>\n

Polished concrete is often only one of several finished surfaces installed before construction work is complete.<\/p>\n

Windows, glazing and frames can also be exposed to dust, mortar, paint, scratches and general site contamination.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking at protecting multiple finished surfaces across a project, read our guide on how to protect windows during construction<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

You can also read our complete guide to how to protect polished concrete flooring during construction<\/strong><\/a>, which looks at the wider risks facing finished concrete throughout a construction project.<\/p>\n

Using appropriate temporary protection across different surfaces can help reduce cleaning, remedial work and potential replacement costs before handover.<\/p>\n

Preparing Concrete Before Applying FloorDefend<\/h2>\n

Correct preparation is essential.<\/p>\n

Concrete should have cured for a minimum of 10 days before FloorDefend is installed and should be free from standing water and debris.<\/p>\n

The concrete surface should also be between 5\u00b0C and 37\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

FloorDefend is designed for concrete surfaces that are hard-trowel finished, polished or densified.<\/p>\n

It should not be applied to broom-finished or rough concrete surfaces, or over topical sealers, guards, epoxies, paints, colourants or other topical finishes without thorough testing.\u00a0FloorDefend should not be applied over acrylic-based cure and seals.\u00a0A test area should always be completed before proceeding with full installation.<\/p>\n

Removing FloorDefend at the End of the Project<\/h2>\n

\"constructionOnce construction work is complete, FloorDefend can be removed by peeling the protective covering away from the concrete.<\/p>\n

Starting from a corner, the covering is peeled back at approximately a 45-degree angle.<\/p>\n

Once removed, the finished concrete underneath can be prepared for final handover or subsequent treatments.<\/p>\n

Best practice is to wet clean the floor once FloorDefend has been completely removed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Protect Polished Concrete Throughout Construction<\/h2>\n

Installing polished concrete doesn’t necessarily mean site traffic has finished.<\/p>\n

Scissor lifts, workers, trolleys and other construction equipment may still need to travel across the floor throughout the remaining stages of a project.<\/p>\n

Putting suitable protection in place before that traffic begins can help reduce the risk of scratches, contamination and unnecessary remedial work.<\/p>\n

Protectapeel FloorDefend provides temporary protection for polished and other suitable smooth, uncoated concrete surfaces while allowing construction activity to continue above them.<\/strong><\/p>\n
