How to Protect Your Countertops During a Home Renovation
Home renovations can breathe new life into your space – but they can also cause damage to your countertops if you’re not careful. Whether you’re remodeling your kitchen, updating your bathroom, or doing a full home overhaul, protecting your countertops is essential to avoid costly damage.
In this guide, we’ll explore why countertop protection matters, how to protect countertops from scratches and stains, and introduce Ram Board’s newest temporary surface protector: Ram Board Counter Armor.
Why Protect Countertops?
Countertops are one of the most used and expensive surfaces in your home. However, during renovations, they’re vulnerable to so many risks:
Scratches from tools, dirt, and materials.
Stains from paint or working chemicals.
Cracks and Chips from dropped materials.
Dust and grime from the demands of the job.
Replacing countertops can cost thousands of dollars. So, if you’re wondering, “How can I cover my countertop without replacing it?” The answer is simple. Countertop protection.
How to Protect Countertops from Scratches and Damage
Use a Dependable Surface Protector: Avoid using thin masking plastic, or reused cardboard boxes. Instead choose a dependable surface protector specifically for countertops.
Secure the Edges: When you’re putting your surface protector in place, don’t forget to tape down the edges. That way, dust and debris won’t sneak underneath. We suggest using a low-tack option like Ram Board’s 90-Day Edge Tape to prevent any damage from residue.
Keep Heavy Tools and Materials off the Surface: Although super convenient, try to avoid placing tools and other materials off the counters to minimize accidental damage.
Clean or Replace Regularly: Although built to last, Ram Board Counter Armor can only defend so much. If damaged, replace to prevent damage to the surface underneath.
