A Protective Cover for Your Concrete Surfaces During Construction Protecting Polished Concrete Surfaces During All Stages of Construction What is Goldilox? GoldiLox is a breathable, industrial composite that is temporarily adhered to polished or smooth concrete surfaces. Our adhesive permeates and encapsulates a proprietary industrial textile, creating a composite floor covering that protects from weather, abrasion, spills, and markings during all stages of construction. GoldiLox is antimicrobial and antifungal, allowing you to frame directly on top of the protective surface. At the end of construction, simply peel off the composite material to reveal the clean surface underneath. GoldiLox was designed specifically for polished concrete floors by polished concrete contractors. After years of experience, it became obvious that the industry needed real-world concrete surface protection with construction budgets in mind. We designed GoldiLox to protect polished concrete floors from the vast majority of construction damage typically incurred during the life of the project. Easy to apply and cost-effective, GoldiLox offers the just-right protection. PART 1 GENERAL 1.1 SECTION INCLUDES ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete items below not required for project. A.
