Pro-Tect® — Temporary Floor Protection
Brown Rosin Paper
High-quality single-ply construction paper — 36" × 144' (432 sq ft). A job site staple for protecting floors, countertops, windows, and fixtures during construction and renovation.
Pro-Tect Brown Rosin Paper is free of added dyes — its natural brown color comes from the paper itself, making it safe for use on delicate surfaces sensitive to moisture or chemical contact. It can also be used as a sheathing paper inside walls, roofing, or under wood flooring to protect against dust, wind infiltration, and squeaks.
Key Benefits

Sheathing paper use
Works as an inner lining under wood flooring, in walls, and roofing to block dust, wind, and reduce floor squeaks.
Moisture protection
Natural paper composition helps protect surfaces from light moisture — particularly useful on delicate finished surfaces.
Easy to cut & fit
Cuts cleanly with a utility knife or scissors. Lightweight and easy to handle solo on any size job.
Construction staple
A trusted product used across new construction, renovation, and remodeling projects for decades.

When using Rosin Paper as a sheathing liner under hardwood flooring, overlap seams by at least 2–3 inches and tape all joints. This prevents dust and moisture from passing through the seams and helps reduce floor squeaks caused by friction between the subfloor and hardwood.
Not waterproof. Rosin Paper provides light moisture resistance but is not a waterproof barrier. For heavy moisture protection, use Pro-Tect® WR Hardboard (water resistant for up to 72 hours) instead.
