How GoldiLox Works
What is Goldilox?
GoldiLox is a breathable, industrial composite that is temporarily adhered to polished or smooth concrete flooring. 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.
Pour concrete
Concrete slab is poured and allowed to cure for a minimum of 10 days.
Polish concrete (optional)
Polish contractors grind, polish and densify the concrete before framing begins.
Protect concrete
Goldilox may be installed before or after polished concrete flooring is installed.
(Preferred method: Goldilox is installed after polished concrete flooring.)
Frame over goldilox
Because GoldiLox is anitmicrobial/antifungal the construction framing can be installed directly on top of GoldiLox.
Inspect easily
Inspect Goldilox throughout construction and spot treat any damaged areas (Note: Unlike other alternatives, Golidlox is easily cleaned by broom, shopvac or autoscrubber allowing it to stay down even after HVAC systems are turned on)
Remove goldilox to finish floor
Near the end of construction, peel to remove and proceed with any stains, dyes, guards sealants, etc.
How to Install
Install as soon as 10 days post-concrete pour
Install Before Framing
Polish before walls are up and protect before framing.
Easy Application
Simply roll out the fabric and apply adhesive on top. The adhesive encapsulates the fabric creating a durable composite that is temporarily adhered to the concrete surface and peeled off to remove.
How to Maintain Goldilox During Construction
Goldilox requires little maintenance, but should be checked periodically for rips, tears, or standing spills. GoldiLox is easily cleaned by broom, ShopVac or autoscrubber allowing you to leave the protection in place well after HVAC systems are turned on.
Get 2 - 3 times the lifespan of GoldiLox protection, leave GoldiLox in place much longer through the buildout cycle vs having to remove dirty, dusty alternatives that are unable to be cleaned efficiently.
How to Remove it
1
Lift up a corner.
2
Peel back at a 45-degree angle to remove.

Protecting Your Floors From Pour to Finish
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 flooring 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.
