Corrugated plastic boards can be a versatile alternative to products like cardboard, plywood, and plastic sheeting on the construction site. They have great moisture resistance, and impact resistance properties that make them a great choice for a variety of uses.
Interested in a cost-effective protective solution for your next construction project? Here are ten ways these boards can make a difference:
What Are Corrugated Plastic Boards?
Corrugated plastic boards are made of polypropylene and consist of a fluted sheet sandwiched between two linerboards. The fluting acts as an insulator during temperature fluctuations and increases durability. These lightweight boards can be easily cut, bent, and scored – giving construction professionals a wide variety of potential applications. At Americover, we offer corrugated plastic boards in antistatic, fire-retardant, and non-fire-retardant versions.

Benefits Of Corrugated Plastic Boards
Corrugated plastic boards provide a clear advantage over traditional materials like cardboard and regular plastic sheeting. Unlike cardboard, they are significantly more resistant to moisture. Compared to plastic sheeting, they absorb shock providing better impact resistance. Their robust waterproof and lightweight nature makes them great for construction use.
Need a few ideas to get started? Here are ten ways you can immediately use these boards on the job site:
Wall Paneling For Dust Containment Systems
Flame-retardant corrugated polypropylene panels, like our Correx®️️ Board, are a fantastic option for dust containment systems. Lightweight, versatile, and reusable, these boards provide protection at minimal cost.
Construction Signage
Because they can come in a wide variety of colors, these boards are ideal construction signage. They are print-friendly and easy to reuse on future projects.
Surface Protection For Counters and Walls
Corrugated plastic boards can also add surface protection for your construction project’s needs. They are impact-resistant and can quickly be applied or removed at a moment’s notice.
Building Enclosures and Scaffolding
Since corrugated plastic boards are rigid and strong, they can also be used to temporarily support building enclosures and scaffolding.
Roofing Material
That same strength makes them excellent for temporary roofing material. They can assist with protecting your site from the elements as you prepare for your next project.
Shutter Material
Their corrugated design also creates a nice pocket of insulation, making them a practical choice for shutter material.
Tool Protection
Because corrugated plastic boards also have a degree of flexibility, they can be used to protect tools and construction materials instead of alternatives like cardboard boxes, for example.
Small Structures
They are also versatile enough to construct small temporary structures like greenhouses or sheds, thanks to their durability.
Floor Coverings
Similar to wall and counter applications, corrugated plastic boards can be used as floor coverings, reducing the mess associated with the job site.
Building Templates
Last but not least, these plastic boards serve as a great medium for building templates. They’re easy to measure and cut and can help professionals better visualize a placement before installing the real thing.
