New Board for Floor Protection While Painting

Ram Board’s newest innovation, Painter’s Board, is the first of its kind developed specifically for painters. 

Designed to provide tough and reliable protection against spills and floor damage during painting projects, the board offers durable, spill-resistant, flexible protection to keep even the messiest jobsites clean. 

Limitations of Traditional Protection

For years, professional painters and do-it-yourself consumers have used red rosin paper to protect floors while painting, the company explains.

However, they say rosin paper often lacks durability, forcing painters to replace it multiple times during a given job. In addition, rosin paper does not provide liquid resistance.

“The paint market needs an easy to use, reliable, more durable floor protection product, and that’s where the Ram Board team uniquely developed the one of a kind Painter’s Board,” said Elliot Piltzer, Ram Board’s vice president of sales.

Features of the Painter’s Board

In response to the aforementioned challenges, Painter’s Board features Ram Board’s patented Spill Guard technology to keep spilled paint and other liquids from damaging floors and other surfaces. 

When ladders, furniture, and other household items are dragged across floors, the durability of the Painter’s Board also prevents scratches and damages. Separately, the board features Vapor Cure technology to allow air and moisture to escape, which is crucial for the even curing of newly installed concrete, glue down floors, stained floors, epoxy floors, and refinished floors. 

Painter’s Board lays fast and flat during installation and is made of 100-percent natural non-staining recycling materials. If the board gets wet, staining will not occur, as it continues to provide protection throughout the paint project.

Each lightweight roll is 35-in (88.9-cm) wide, allowing it to fit in standard residential halls and most doorways. Weighing only 10 lb (4.5 kg) per roll, it is easy to move multiple rolls at one time.
