Trades International

UK trade supplier increases availability of Correx, floor protection card, films &tapes, with free UK delivery and 2mm Correx prices starting from £1.75/sheet

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Trades International is increasing availability across its temporary floor and surface protection range as contractors and construction businesses look for alternative sources of supply following reported distress affecting Florprotec.

The company is increasing supply of commonly used site protection products including Correx protection boards, cardboard floor protection, carpet protection film, hard-floor protection film and masking and joining tapes.
“Our immediate concern is continuity of supply for tradespeople,” said Trades International spokesperson. “If you have been relying on Florprotec for floor protection card, Correx-style boards, films or tapes, you still need those materials to turn up on site. We are increasing availability to help make that transition as straightforward as possible.”

Helping Florprotec customers find the right replacement

Florprotec has supplied a broad range of temporary protection products to UK contractors, including Florprotec Card, T-Bord polypropylene protection sheets, carpet and hard-floor protection products, tapes and other site protection materials.

“If someone tells us what they've previously been buying, we'll help them identify the right type of protection from our range,” said the Trades International team. “It isn't about telling a contractor that every product is identical. If you've been buying a particular grade of card, a 2mm polypropylene board or a specialist protection product, you need to know that the replacement is suitable for the job.”

This is particularly important for products with specialist requirements such as flame retardancy, breathability, surface compatibility or a particular level of impact protection.

Correx from £1.75 per sheet with free UK delivery

Trades International's TI-Pro protection boards are currently available from £1.75 per sheet, with free UK delivery. For those accustomed to paying a premium price, they will appreciate the discounted, quality protection on protection sheets - saving more than 50% vs. their current supplier.
Trades International's model is based on sourcing and supplying products with fewer layers of distribution between the manufacturer and customer. The company says this allows it to offer competitive pricing while maintaining UK-wide delivery.

“Tradespeople shouldn't have to choose between keeping a job moving and paying an unnecessary premium for everyday protection materials,” the Trades International team said. “Our job is to make sure they can get the products they need, at a sensible price, without adding another problem to the job.”
Floor protection card, films and tapes also available

The increased supply is not limited to Correx.

Trades International supplies cardboard floor protection for decorating, refurbishment and construction work, alongside carpet protection film, hard-floor protection film and its ZULU range of masking and protection tapes.
For contractors moving from Florprotec Card or another cardboard protection product, Trades International can assist in finding the right product for the type of work, expected foot traffic, length of the job, surface being protected and exposure to spills or moisture.
For decorators and fit-out teams, Trades International also supplies ZULU General Purpose Cream, Indoor Orange, Indoor/Outdoor Blue and Sensitive Pink masking tapes, as well as pre-taped masking film and paper.

“Your supplier may change. Your site can't stop.”

Trades International says it is stocked for the increased demand and encourages contractors who have previously purchased Florprotec products to get in touch before their next project. The range can be seen at www.tradesinternational.co.uk and bespoke printing is available.
“Your supplier may change. Your site can't stop,” Trades International leadership said. “We're making sure there is another source of supply ready for contractors who need it.”
