Our Story
How we got here
Gator Guard began with a mission to create durable, eco-friendly floor protection. Rooted in Abbotsford, Canada, we combine innovation with sustainability to safeguard surfaces in construction, renovation, and beyond.
Innovating Floor Protection
Founded with a Vision
Invented by our founder Harp Sandhar, Gator Guard® is revolutionizing temporary floor protection. Designed for durability and sustainability, it lays flat and cuts installation time to 90%. It's 10 times stronger than traditional cardboard, offering superior protection and reliability.

Strength, Durability & Sustainability
Product Development
All started with the frustration of trying to install traditional cardboard floor protection. It was bulky, back-breaking to carry, and nearly impossible to install. It would curl back, shift out of place, and even damage floors when wet. We knew there had to be a better way. That’s why we developed the next generation of floor protection—Gator Guard®. A reusable, 10X stronger, and SMARTER alternative to cardboard that is water-absorbent, anti-slip, and fully waterproof, maintaining its strength even after liquid spills. It won’t tear, curl, or break down, giving you superior protection without the hassle. Best of all, it costs less than the leading cardboard floor protection.
