Protecting polished concrete, terrazzo, and other surfaces is vital to keeping the project running on time and on budget. Entry Point supplies the best-in-class level of protection for general contractors looking to protect the floors on their project. We help with reducing re-work, subcontractor oversight, and ease of installation.

Prevent Re-Work
Commercial general contractors know firsthand how frustrating it can be to see costly re-work rack up over the course of a project. It creates more stress for you and more costs for your client. So, it is imperative to select a temporary protection system that will guard against these unwanted damages. Entry Point’s line of sheets will ensure that your finished floors do not get dinged and scratched up. We supply the strongest temporary protection board on the market today in our ImpactBoard FR® product. Its reinforced profile allows it to thrive under heavy traffic conditions where you’ll have scissor lifts and heavy rolling loads. So, you’ll be at ease knowing that this increased traffic will not result in increased costs. We also have lighter density items for areas where you’ll have simple foot traffic or carts. Whatever the application, we can help to protect your finishes (and your budget) in an extremely effective manner, helping to reduce punch list items.

Working with Subcontractors
Any general contractor who has pushed protection onto subs knows that this can cause issues. Subcontractors are often incentivized to use the cheapest material they can in order to get in and get out, leaving you holding the bill once these low-grade coverings inevitably fail. Entry Point fixes this issue. We are happy to meet with the entire project team in order to create a customized plan of protection that will help to ensure that your project stays on time and on budget. We do this for no additional cost. Having a set plan in place will ensure that everyone is on the same page. You’ll know who owns what and who is responsible for what. This way you’ll avoid the pitfall of a sub-contractor using poor material while also avoiding any confusion. Your job site will be set up for success by using an elite product in conjunction with a comprehensive plan.

Lightweight Surface Protection
All of Entry Point’s products are lightweight, as everything weighs 13 pounds or less. This makes installing our line much easier in comparison to other options. We consistently get positive feedback about this from our partners in the field. Unlike something like plywood (a two person lift per OSHA safety standards) or Masonite, a lightweight product will save your workers some strain on their backs, helping to keep things running smoothly. For those of you working on sites where the wind is a safety issue: A gust of wind is much less likely to throw off someone who is carrying a light sheet than a heavy piece of board.
General contractors who are looking for the best way to protect their surfaces should go with Entry Point: Temporary Surface protection. We help to keep clients happy and ensure that you get repeat business. Reach out to us today in order to protect your next project.
