Ensuite Week
Ensuites may be small, but they’re one of the most high-pressure areas on any build. With finished tiles laid early and multiple trades working in close quarters, protecting surfaces is essential to prevent costly damage and delays.
This week on The Block, contestants discovered how Protecta Board XTRA makes tiled surface protection simple, especially with expert guidance from a Protecta Project Protection Specialist.
 
Protecta Board XTRA 5mm - Smart Protection for Tiled Surfaces
For tiled ensuites, contestants chose Protecta Board XTRA 5mm.
- Felt Underlay cushions and safeguards delicate tiles
- Fast to install so trades can keep moving without disruption
- Strong surface protection against ladders, tools and heavy foot traffic
By installing Protecta Board XTRA in their ensuites, contestants kept their tiles pristine and avoided unnecessary rework during one of the busiest weeks of the competition.
