Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Guardia is a multi-layered, reusable surface protection designed to safeguard floors, stairs, benchtops, cabinetry, and other surfaces during construction or renovation. It’s waterproof, tear-resistant, breathable, and has a self-adhesive underside that keeps it firmly in place without tape.

Unlike these alternatives, Guardia:

• Requires no tape (it’s self-adhesive).
• Is reusable across multiple projects.
• Won’t bunch up or shift under foot traffic.
• Is waterproof and breathable, protecting against spills while preventing moisture build-up.
• Saves time and labour costs on installation and removal.
  

No. Guardia is designed to adhere lightly to surfaces to keep it in place without damaging or marking the substrate. For best results, edges should be overlapped by at least 100mm so the adhesive sticks to itself. On high-traffic sites, we recommend taping any leading edges for extra security.

Yes — Guardia is completely reusable. After use, simply roll it up and store it clean and dry. With proper handling, you can reuse it across many projects, saving you money over single-use products like cardboard or corflute.

We do not recommend using Guardia on:

• Newly poured or curing concrete
  
• Recently sealed or coated floors that are not fully cured
  
• Substrates where in-floor heating is on
  

For these cases, any product (including competitors could cause issues. Always wait until floors are fully cured before applying protection.

Guardia can safely remain in place for up to 60 days. For longer projects, we recommend lifting and reapplying to ensure optimal performance.

Lift the material slightly off the surface before cutting, applying pressure against a hard floor can fray the fibres. Use a sharp utility knife or scissors for the cleanest cut.

Each roll measures 91cm wide x 30.5m long (27.75m² coverage).

We offer:

• Single Roll (1x) – ideal for small projects
  
• 3-Roll Pack – great value for renovators
  
• 6-Roll Trade Pack – bulk savings for tradies
  
• 30-Roll Pallet – distributor / stockist pack
  

Coverage depends on your total area and overlaps. As a guide:

• 1 roll = ~27m² (after accounting for overlaps)
  
• 3 rolls = ~81m²
  
• 6 rolls = ~162m²

Example: For a 300m² area, you’d need approximately 12 rolls.

If residue occurs (rare), it can be removed easily with warm water and a neutral pH cleaner.
