Ram Board: Two Decades of Protecting Floors Professionals Install

Since 2002, Ram Board has been the trusted floor protection choice for general contractors, flooring specialists, and builders who can't afford to hand over a damaged floor. Our products are built for the job site, not the showroom.

Ram Board founding story in Benicia California

Born from a Real Job Site Problem

Ram Board was born from a frustration every contractor knows: you install beautiful floors, other trades come in, and by handover day the floors are scratched, stained, or dented. In 2002, our founders set out to create a temporary floor protection product that actually held up on real construction sites.

Working out of Benicia, California, we developed the original Ram Board fiberboard roll — made entirely from recycled content, breathable for freshly cured floors, and tough enough to withstand the abuse of a working job site. Contractors tried it, shared it, and kept ordering it.

Made Responsibly. Used Repeatedly. Recycled After.

Ram Board's full lifecycle is designed for minimal environmental impact. We manufacture from 100% recycled fiberboard, produce GREENGUARD Gold certified products safe for occupied environments, and design rolls for multi-use so less material ends up in landfill per protected square foot. After the project, spent Ram Board can be recycled through standard cardboard recycling streams.
