How can I best protect my floor during a renovation?

Use protective film or cardboard: Cover the floor with a thick, sturdy protective film or cardboard. This helps prevent scratches, dents and dust accumulation. Make sure the protection is secure so it does not move while working.

Provide cover for heavy work: For areas where heavy objects are moved or there is a lot of activity, you can add extra protection, such as plywood boards or mats. This provides an extra buffer against falling objects and heavy loads.

Do not use tape directly on the floor: Avoid using duct tape or other aggressive tapes directly on the floor, as the adhesive residue can damage the floor. Instead, use tape with low adhesive strength specially designed for delicate surfaces.

Avoid direct contact with building materials: Ensure that construction materials such as paint, solvents, glue or cement do not come into contact with the floor. Cover all risk areas and keep materials at a safe distance from the floor.

Use clean walking mats: Place clean walking mats at all entrances to prevent dirt, debris and sand from being walked in, which can cause scratches and wear.

Lift heavy objects: If you need to move furniture or heavy objects, lift them instead of sliding them across the floor. If necessary, use attachments such as furniture rollers or lifting devices for this purpose.

Regular cleaning: Clean the protective layers regularly to prevent dirt from accumulating and getting under the protection, which can still damage the floor.
