Surface protectors can be useful in your everyday life saving you time and money. Here are just some of the unique uses for our Koruser and Jona Guard surface protectors by you, our loyal customers! If you’re looking to use as exterior surface protectors or interior applications you can find a lot of variety on the market today. You can also find surface protectors for walls with vertical install options there are plenty of products for you as you’ll see below.
What are surface protectors?
Surface protectors are typically used by professional painters, movers, developers or home owners. They are a step above your average kraft paper or drop cloths with advanced technology to prevent moisture from getting through to the surfaces beneath the protective barrier. Surface Protectors can also prevent minor dents and serious messes. There are products durable enough to use as exterior surface protectors as well as interior surface protectors. Alternatively you can find surface protectors for walls with vertical capabilities.
Koruser is our surface protector with a self adhesive underside allowing for vertical applications without leaving any residue like some of our competitors. Koruser has a felt like texture with a sticky underside so it has vertical application capabilities meaning it can be applied to walls, cupboards, awkward appliances like toilets, art, and so much more. Use it to wrap special items to prevent moisture or use it to protector your floor, tile, countertops or backsplash during a renovation.
Jona Guard is not your basic cardboard surface protector. With its 4 layer system it has advanced moisture resistance so you can rest assured there’ll be no leaking of paint, mud nor moisture onto the surfaces below. We find that professional painters and installers who use Jona Guard prefer it to Ram Board.
Some avid gardeners have asked if they could use Jona Guard surface protector in their garden. We do not recommend this as it contains a nylon scrim and an advanced coating to prevent moisture from seeping into the product. Jona Guard will not break down like your average cardboard which makes it perfect for re-use and protecting surfaces like hardwood flooring during messy renovations or paint projects.
How to use your surface protectors and keep reusing them!
Jona Guard and Koruser are ideal for reuse. To maintain the integrity of the surface protector be sure to wipe up any moisture or mud as soon as you notice them. Just using a paper towel or microfibre cloth will be enough to ensure the moisture is removed and you can fold or re-roll your surface protector for later use. Of course, if the surface protector is penetrated by sharp objects it will not be as effective against prevent moisture leakage but would be suitable for outdoor spaces like a green house to prevent mud.
