Description

Paperfelt is a versatile, durable pure paper sheet traditionally used beneath carpets to prevent dust rising through timber floorboards. Today, it serves multiple functions on-site—including use as a floor protection layer, a buffer beneath plastic protection boards like Correx, and a precision templating material for flooring and stair nosing installations.

Available in two weights—Standard (175gsm) and Super (230gsm)—Paperfelt provides clean, breathable protection for finished floors during building works, fit-outs, or refurbishments. When used beneath rigid floor protection such as Correx, it creates a vital separation layer to help prevent plasticiser migration or surface marking on sensitive wood and vinyl floors.

Beyond its protective qualities, Paperfelt is widely used by flooring installers for templating, thanks to its ease of handling, cutting, and marking. Its flexibility and strength make it perfect for accurately tracing complex floor shapes, awkward cuts, or stair nosing details prior to final installation—saving time, reducing waste, and ensuring a precise fit.

Lightweight, easy to cut, and quick to install, Paperfelt is an essential site material that delivers practical benefits across preparation, protection, and installation stages.
