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

Kitchen installation moves the heaviest domestic items through finished spaces: range cookers, fridge freezers, worktops and appliances on narrow wheels or feet. The damage happens at set-down and at the threshold. This article looks at protecting floors during kitchen installation. The focus is appliance loads, worktop protection and protecting the route.<\/p>\n

Appliques concentrate load onto feet and narrow wheels<\/h2>\n

An appliance on castors or feet applies its whole weight through a few small contact points, which is the load case that dents timber and cracks tile.<\/p>\n

A rigid PP honeycomb protection board<\/a><\/a> spreads those contact points across a wider area, protecting the floor during the move and at set-down.<\/p>\n

Because the panels are light, they can be laid along the route quickly and lifted again once the appliance is in place.<\/p>\n

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

Kitchen installation involves appliance moves and worktop handling, so the middle to upper part of the 2 mm to 12 mm range is typical for the route.<\/p>\n

For foot traffic and toolboxes a mid thickness is enough. Under appliance feet and castors, the thicker boards give the spreading that prevents dents.<\/p>\n

Worktops, thresholds and the route<\/h2>\n

Protect worktops separately with a faced board while appliances are being positioned, because a marked worktop is a remake.<\/p>\n

Build a transition at thresholds and at any change of floor level rather than letting appliance wheels drop over an edge.<\/p>\n

Keep the route continuous from the door to the kitchen so nothing is set down on an unprotected surface.<\/p>\n

How honeycomb board compares with cardboard, blanket and ply<\/h2>\n

Cardboard is the usual appliance protection and it compresses exactly under the feet, which is where the load is.<\/p>\n

Moving blankets protect the appliance but not the floor, and they slide rather than spreading load.<\/p>\n

Plywood works but is heavy to carry through a house and awkward to manoeuvre around a kitchen. A PP honeycomb board is light, cuttable and re-usable across installs.<\/p>\n

A practical trial plan for kitchen installs<\/h2>\n

Protect the route and kitchen floor on one install and leave a comparable install on the current method. Inspect at set-down and at completion.<\/p>\n

Run an appliance move over a sample panel, then lift and check for dents in the floor.<\/p>\n

Record whether any threshold was damaged, because that is the most common failure point on a kitchen install.<\/p>\n

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

State the floor type, the appliance weights, the route and any level changes. Ask for the recommended thickness for appliance foot loads.<\/p>\n

Ask for guidance on transitions and on protecting worktops, plus custom sizes for standard kitchen layouts.<\/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 the route and thresholds, use the thick end of the range under appliance feet, and protect worktops separately while appliances are positioned.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
