stair protection guide

Stair Protection Guide

Stair Protection Guide

The Tri-Shield Stair Protection Guide has been designed to help avoid costly damages and repairs to staircases and their individual components.

Stairwells are an asset which are extremely prone to damage. This is the case in new builds as well as home improvement projects. Foot traffic is high, and goods being carried between floors result in damages to handrails, newell posts as well as steps. There are different ways to protect stairs and the components which make up a staircase.

The use of products which withstand high impact, to protect an already-installed staircase is one approach. The installation of a temporary system in place of a staircase, prior to permanent installation is another.

Read on for examples of products that will protect your staircase from costly and avoidable damages, as well as keeping workers safe:

Rigid Stair Nosing Protectors

stair protector

Rigid stair protectors offer substantial covering of exposed stair nosings. They protect against high levels of impact and significant foot traffic.

A 100% recycled UPVC product which also has a slight flex and is therefore less susceptible to breaking on impact during cold weather, as well as being simple to fix in place.

This product is 750mm wide, and 205mm deep with 30mm of nosing protection to cover the edge of the step. Bespoke widths are available, enquire within for terms and conditions, as well as application advice.

This item can be applied using Double Sided High/Low Tape, in addition to being mechanically fixed. An extremely popular product, suitable for re-use.

Ram Board Stair Armour (Pack of 6)

Ram Board Stair Armour: Introducing the industry’s first paperboard stair protection product. Made with heavy-duty Ram Board, adjustable tread sizing, bull-nose protection, and Spill Guard™ Technology, Stair Armor™ is the absolute end-all of stair protection.

Ram Board Stair Armour, is a fully recycled, and recyclable stair protection system.

Secure to steps using Ram Board Edge Tape.

Blue U Profile Foam and Yellow Circular Foam Protection (Handrail Protection)

Yellow Circular and Blue U-Profile Foams are specially manufactured to grip handrails. This material is fully recyclable. It can also be heavily re-used, due to it’s robust composition.

Known for its versatility, handrail foam protection is applicable to a number of different handrail widths and shapes.

Foam protection is another extremely popular item on the majority of construction projects. It is easy to cut, in addition to being high in impact resistance.

Use yellow foam for circular handrail protection, and blue handrail foams for square, or larger handrails.

Red Circular Foam Protection (For Newell Posts)

Red Circular Foam Protection specially manufactured to grip and wrap around newell posts.

Like the foam products already mentioned, it offers a high level of impact protection, in addition to being pre-slit for ease of application.

Simply cut into shape and snap into place.

Extremely easy to fit, as well as being a cost effective method of protecting.

Stair Protection Films

Hard Surface Floor

If your staircase is carpeted, or has a hardwood, laminate or vinyl floor, Tri-Shield’s range of protection films are an option. Simply roll out, and replace in 4 weekly cycles. These options are suitable for foot traffic, as well as dirt & debris. Additional protection with a product such as stair armour or stair treads are appropriate for protection against impact damage in addition to the above.

Hard Surface Film – Suitable on Hardwood, laminate or vinyl.

Carpet Film – Suitable for use on carpets only.

Temporary Handrail Set and Handrail Safety Posts

temporary posts, temporary handrail set

With the use of this system, you will remove the potential for damage to your bannister, as it replaces the need for it to be on site. The Tri-Shield Temporary Handrail System runs up the staircase and allows safe movement between floors during construction works. In addition, this is a key product for house builders within this stair protection guide.

Re-use multiple times across plots. Designed for use with Handrail Safety Posts (sold separately).

Temporary Handrail set has a hi-visibility yellow finish, for optimum HSE compliance. Made high quality powder coat, in addition to premium welding, this system is built to last and be seen.

One staircase usually requires:

1 x Temporary Handrail Set (2 x Long Pieces, 1 x Short Piece)

4 x Standard Posts (Sold Separately)

2 x Corner Posts (Sold Separately)

Handrail Set

Floor Protection Guide

Tri-Shield Floor Protection Guide

Floor protection is an extremely wide term, and can apply to various applications and requirements. In this floor protection guide, we aim to simplify this for you, and offer some help and tips on how best to protect floors against costly, and avoidable damages.

Whether on a construction project or at home, protection of the floor is often the main concern in regard to damage when carrying out works. The aim will usually be to protect against foot traffic, plant, dirt, debris, or a number of other factors. There are many different products available to protect carpets, hard surfaces, (such as vinyl and laminate or wooden flooring), as well as concrete floors both internally and externally.

Below are a few options and tips for optimum carpet and floor protection, and advice on the correct products to use:

Carpet Protection Film 

At Tri-Shield, we stock 3 different grades of carpet film:

Carpet Film – A standard duty product for domestic applications and low foot traffic.

Heavy Duty Carpet Film – A premium product for commercial applications and high foot traffic.

Carpet Film FR – A reverse wound solution for fast rollout, and is certified for use in high value commercial works. No applicator required, simply lay down and kick it out! 

Carpet protection film is the ultimate solution for peace of mind and the protection of carpets. It is the optimum product for ensuring that the product isn’t damaged during construction and renovation works. Compatible with most applicators, these products roll out, and stick to the carpet underneath, providing a a protective layer as a temporary protection method.

This product must be replaced in 4 weekly cycles, and is suitable for use on carpets only. If you are looking for something similar, but for hard floor or vinyl, there is an alternative solution.

Hard Surface Film

Hard Surface Floor

Hard surface protection film is available in 600mm x 100m rolls. It is suitable for application on hard, finished surfaces. It is very quick to cover, as well as being a fast rollout solution for large areas. This product will protect against dirt, foot traffic, dust and debris. It can also be used with the same applicator you would use with carpet film.

It isn’t suitable for use on carpet, as it works based on a mixture of static and a low tack adhesive, which makes it ideal for use on floors and even worktops/glass if required, however it won’t offer any tack when used on carpeted surfaces. Must be replaced in 4 weekly cycles.

You may think that this is a good solution, but it won’t offer much impact protection against things like exposure to heavy objects and plant. For that, we would offer Ram Board:

Ram Board

Ram Board is an extra heavy-duty, breathable, temporary floor protection solution.  It is engineered for contractors and is designed with cost and efficiency in mind. It rolls out fast, flat and in addition, it is re-usable. Exclusive Spill Guard technology protects floors against paint, water, mud, and more.

It protects all types of flooring surfaces. Hardwood floors, carpet, tile, concrete, linoleum, VCT, marble, laminate floors, as well as many others.

Unlike film protection products, it can be left down for the duration of a project due to it being non-adhesive, and offers significant impact protection due to being extra heavy duty. See our post about RAM Board to find out more about the range.

Tri-Breathe Flame Retardant

Tri Breathe Flame Retardant: re-use time and time again. A premium floor protection solution. Expansive coverage in a compact format; each roll contains 100m2 (1M x 100M) of protection. It is a fully certified, FR product which can be used on commercial projects, and allows floors to cure underneath due to the breathable nature of the material.

Suitable for use internally, or in applications that are also exposed to the elements, this spun bond polypropylene fabric is breathable in addition to being water-resistant. Water will run across the top of the material, as opposed to being absorbed by the fabric. This material allows for quick layout after floors and carpets have been installed.

Yellow Walkway Matting

Yellow Walkway Matting is a high quality, general purpose Hi-Vis rubber matting designed with a diamond pattern on one side and a cloth impression on the other. This product offers significant impact protection, and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Effectively protect concrete floors using Yellow Walkway Matting. It is a non-adhesive product, and therefore can be kept in application for the full duration of works.

Use to create walkways against the backdrop of Covid19 and social distancing. Clearly mark out walking routes on site, to make crane operators aware of the flow of pedestrian traffic.

Finally, we have one more floor protection option, which is one of the most popular items in the range:

Tri-Board, are a versatile product that can be used to protect floors, carpets, and many other assets. Tri-Shield stock 3 variations of this product for protecting floors:

Tri-Board Black – A recycled floor protection solution, available in 2mm or 3mm grades

Tri-Board Recycled FR – A recycled flame retardant floor protection solution, available in a 2mm grade and is certified to Warrington Certifire TS63

Tri-Board Halogen Free FR A Halogen Free, flame retardant floor protection solution (harmful chemicals removed from manufacture), available in 3mm and 4mm grades, and is certified to LPS1207

This product is cost effective, easy to apply (advice on the correct tape is available on each product page), and is also a sustainable solution. Every variation of Tri-Board has something to offer, and the varying grades will offer higher or lower levels of impact protection depending on the specification. Leave down for the duration of works with no issues, and seal the edges with low tack tape.
