Jake Bruton and Randy Williams walk through the case for proper concrete floor protection during construction, using a glue-down mat system from a company called Kuo at Bruton's Rocky Top Aarow project. The product — a heavy-traffic commercial mat with a fleece backing — adheres to cured concrete using a base coat adhesive, creating a durable, composite-action barrier that resists punctures and stays put throughout the build. Bruton contrasts it with RAM board, noting that loose, taped protection requires constant maintenance and creates trip hazards. Cost runs roughly a dollar to a dollar twenty-five per square foot, which Bruton frames as straightforward risk mitigation against damaged finished floors.
