Floor Protection


I've been seeing this product lately around the Boston area. I think it's called RhinoBoard, but I can't find the damn thing on Google. It's a recycled cardboard flooring protector for hardwood. Really good stuff. I'd say ballpark 30 mil thickness.

Anyone know this product or something similar.

Re: Floor Protection


A few winters ago, a builder used red rosin paper over the yet to be finished hardwood floor. With people coming and going with snow and slop on their feet, some of the red dye came out of the red rosin paper and dyed the unfinished floor under the paper with light pink blotchy patches. I guess they got it sanded out, but it was a point of some stress for the builder for a while after he pulled up the paper and realized what had happened.

Re: Floor Protection


Ah shoot, maybe I'll have to wait until I go back to the jobsite. Maybe it's ramboard, not rhino board. It's very cool stuff. Lays very flat, no need to tape seams really. Very durable.

JJC, I'm on the other side or Portland from you. Waterboro. Out in the boondocks.

It's ramboard, not rhinoboard. Can't remember my name sometimes

Re: Floor Protection


Found it sold online here- http://www.filmtools.com/ramboard38x100.html

$55 + $47 shipping for me. Too expensive for me.

Re: Floor Protection


Got one coming up soon (I hope) that we figured this stuff into the estimate---https://www.dropcloth.com/index.html
Have also used a lot of Homasote, tape seams and tape to base, to protect hardwood and tile.

No kidding? I didn't even know that Homasote was still made. I see Masonite used a lot for floor protection as well.
