What is Breathable Floor Protection?

Let’s face the facts: Floors need to breathe. In order to breathe, floors need breathable floor protection products that don’t trap moisture so they can properly cure. Protecting hard surfaces on a job site is your top priority. Ram Board has surface protection solutions you can trust. Our line of breathable floor protection products is top of its class. Featuring our exclusive Vapor-Cure® technology, these specialty products are made with materials designed to allow vapor through and evaporate so surfaces underneath can dry or cure. 

Why is Breathability Important?

You might be asking yourself, “Why is breathability so important?” If surfaces are covered with a floor covering, moisture can become trapped, and it can lead to water damage. If a surface is unable to dry, it leaves the area susceptible to damage when the surface protector is removed. Hard surfaces such as concrete and wood floors especially need time to properly cure. Thankfully, here at Ram Board, we have a solution to this problem with our trusted line of products.
