For staircases that will remain exposed to foot traffic or direct work, use Ram Board Stair Armor. This heavy-duty, pre-folded cardboard material is designed to fit over treads and risers, featuring an anti-slip backing for safety. Secure the edges with strong tape. For stairs that will be covered by temporary structures like scaffolding, apply Trimaco Stay Put. This reusable, waterproof padded material has a unique pressure-activated sticky backing that allows it to adhere to both vertical and horizontal surfaces. Unroll it along the stairs, press it down firmly, and cut to fit using scissors, ensuring complete coverage. For all other large, flat floor surfaces and any remaining exposed countertops, unroll and lay down Ram Board, a heavy-duty cardboard. Overlap seams and tape them together to create a continuous, durable protective layer against impacts, spills, and general construction debris.
