On a busy jobsite, heavy-duty floor protection is essential. From impacts and spills to constant foot traffic, the right construction floor protection needs to handle it all. So, what exactly sets Ram Board apart from competing products? When it comes to durability, moisture management, breathability, and ease of installation, Ram Board delivers the jobsite floor protection contractors trust to keep projects moving forward.
Moisture Resistance That Won’t Block Progress
Unlike some alternatives that completely block moisture, Ram Board provides breathable floor protection through Vapor Cure® technology. This allows moisture vapor to escape while protecting finished surfaces, helping contractors continue working during the curing process.
Impact Resistance That Holds Up
With foot traffic and harsh impacts on the job, a heavy-duty surface protector needs to stand strong. Other floor protectors rely on layered or laminated construction which struggle to hold up against heavy equipment.
Ram Board’s fiber-based build creates a dense and resilient protection that doesn’t easily collapse under the pressure of the jobsite. At 5x thicker than standard builder’s paper, it absorbs impacts, meaning fewer dents and punctures to worry about.
Installation That Won’t Slow The Process
You shouldn’t have to fight your heavy-duty surface protection to keep it down. A stiff board is difficult to work with, and small rolls lead to more time taping the seams in between.
Ram Board is pliable and easy to roll out. With the bend back method, the board lays flat and stays there, making it easy to tape down without a fight. At a width of 38”, there are less seams created with more ground covered.
Fast installation is essential when choosing temporary floor protection. Stiff boards can be hard to handle, while smaller rolls create extra seams that take more time to tape. Ram Board offers a complete system of installation tools and accessories—including the Ram Board Seamer™, Ram Board Multi-Cutter™, and Edge Tape® 14-Day—to help crews roll out, cut, seam, and secure protection more efficiently.
Protection Beyond The Floor
Ram Board helps protect more than just finished floors. With exclusive Wall Guard Technology™, contractors can score and fold the board along the edge to create a protective barrier for trim, baseboards, and lower wall surfaces. This built-in feature helps reduce damage in high-traffic areas without requiring additional protection materials.
