Corex (or as it is sometimes spelt, Correx) is extruded board made from polypropylene co-polymer granules. Often referred to as corrugated plastic, this twin walled polypropylene sheeting provides complete surface protection to avoid damaging floors. This is particularly important for hard laminate, delicate wooden surfaces or other indoor surfaces when work is taking place. It’s also a popular choice for short-term signage applications and protective packaging due to its impressive durability and printing capabilities.

The Corex sheets here at TBS are available in white from stock or special colours to order, and because they’re suitable for printing you can have your company logo printed for additional brand promotion on site.

Both the weight and thickness of our Corex protection can be engineered to cater for specific requirements, such as enhanced compression, for example. Our standard Corex sheet size is 2440 x 1220mm and they’re available in a wide range of thicknesses from 2-10mm.

Corex for floor protection

So, why is Corex such a great contender for floor protection?

The flutes within corrugated polypropylene provide excellent impact protection, withstanding bricks, mortar, dropped tools, foot traffic and heavy machinery, all common within the building, construction and refurbishment trades. Once it is fitted using the traditional tape method, Corex provides good grip underfoot and won’t slide around on hard floor surfaces.

Corex material doesn’t burst in the Mullen Tester. This is used to measure the pressure required to puncture a sheet of paper or cardboard and establishes its load carrying capacity. When you consider this load bearing capacity and the fact that Corex is virtually impossible to rip or tear it’s easy to see why it’s the superior choice for durable floor protection. It also boasts outstanding resistance to flex fatigue, so you can even curve and bend it to fit not only floors but also walls, doors, stairs and windows.
