\"PP<\/a><\/div>\n

In apartment blocks the common parts are finished early and then used by every trade, every delivery and every resident who moves in. Damage to a lobby or corridor floor is a complaint from day one. This article looks at protecting common parts in residential developments. The focus is phased occupation, move-in traffic and protecting shared finishes.<\/p>\n

Common parts are finished first and used hardest<\/h2>\n

Lobbies, corridors and lift lobbies are usually completed before the last units are finished, which means they carry the whole remaining programme plus residents moving in.<\/p>\n

The result is a surface that is both finished and heavily used, with no realistic way to close it. Protection has to work in that condition.<\/p>\n

A rigid PP honeycomb protection board<\/a><\/a> lies flat and stays in place, so it can be used on a route that residents also use, and it can be lifted for viewings and handovers.<\/p>\n

Thickness choices from 2 mm to 12 mm<\/h2>\n

Common parts carry delivery trolleys, furniture and residents’ belongings, so the middle to upper part of the 2 mm to 12 mm range is typical.<\/p>\n

For corridors with foot traffic only a mid thickness is enough. Where move-in trolleys and furniture cross lobbies daily, thicker boards prevent the chipped tiles and scuffed stone that generate complaints.<\/p>\n

Phased occupation and move-in management<\/h2>\n

Plan for two overlapping uses: construction traffic and residents. Keep the residents’ route clean and complete at all times, even while works continue elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Protect lift cars and lobbies during the move-in peak, because that is when damage is most likely and most visible to new owners.<\/p>\n

Tape seams and finish edges so nothing trips a resident, and inspect daily during peak move-in periods.<\/p>\n

How honeycomb board compares with film, paper and ply<\/h2>\n

Films look tidy initially but lift at edges under trolleys and leave residue on stone and tile, which is hard to remove in an occupied lobby.<\/p>\n

Paper is cheap but is replaced constantly along a route used for months, and it looks poor where residents are moving in.<\/p>\n

Plywood protects but is heavy to move between floors and awkward to store on a tight site. A PP honeycomb board is light, reusable and presentable enough for an occupied common part.<\/p>\n

A practical trial plan for common parts<\/h2>\n

Protect one floor’s corridor and lobby and leave a comparable floor on the current method. Inspect daily during move-in and photograph the same points.<\/p>\n

Run a furniture trolley test over a sample panel for a set number of passes, then lift and check the floor.<\/p>\n

Record complaints and any damage, because in residential work the complaint record is the measure that matters.<\/p>\n

What to include in a protection board enquiry<\/h2>\n

State the floor finishes, the common part layout, the expected move-in volume and whether residents are already occupying. Ask for the recommended thickness, facing and panel size.<\/p>\n

Ask for guidance on edge finishing in occupied areas and on lift car protection, plus custom sizes for repeated corridor widths.<\/p>\n

For a quotation or sample panel, contact service@mingplastics.com<\/a> or WhatsApp +86 189 3887 1524<\/a>. Include the surface type, floor area, trades on site and expected duration so the recommended thickness, facing and fire performance can be confirmed before you order.<\/p>\n

Final takeaway<\/h3>\n

Protect common parts for two overlapping uses: works and residents. Specify thickness for move-in traffic, finish edges, and inspect daily during peak occupation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
