Trimaco E-Z Floor Guards

Foot coverings get the modern treatment.

By Matt Higgins

This jobsite automatic foot-covering machine by Trimaco was spotted at the 2017 Remodeling Show and DeckExpo.

You simply stick your foot in the device, known as the E-Z Floor Guards, and a layer of adhesive plastic film is placed over the bottom of your shoe. It works with any shoe size and you can keep reapplying each time you step outside and then back in — no need to remove a layer.

Two different thickness plastic films are offered: 1.38 mil. and 2.45 mil (heavy duty).
