EZ Cover — the best in concrete surface protection

EZ Cover concrete surface protectionTake concrete protection to the next level with EZ Cover. EZ Cover’s ability to breath, allowing green concrete to continue to cure and harden is definitely one of its greatest assets. Two unique advantages this concrete and floor protection blanket has over other floor protection fabric are spill absorption and great impact resistance. In fact, test results show a 24”, 15 lb pipe wrench dropping from a height of 10’ resulted in no damage to concrete protected with EZ Cover. In another test, a 2”, 20 lb steel pipe dropped from 20’ resulted in minimal impact damage to the surface protected with EZ Cover. No other product protects finished concrete formwork like EZ Cover.

Key Benefits of EZ Cover Concrete Protection

  • Helps protect large colored and gray slabs as well as marble, hardwood, and more
  • Simple installation—rolls out where needed
  • High friction coefficient keeps blanket in place
  • Lightweight, moveable and reusableEZ Cover concrete surface protection
  • Helps prevent surface scratches, contaminants and potential impact hazards
  • Disposable, biodegradable and environmentally friendly building material 

The patent pending EZ Cover protective blanket features a soft bottom layer to help prevent surface scratches, while also allowing new slabs to continue to breathe and harden. The harder top layer helps shield against contaminants and potential impact hazards.
