Various embodiments of a floor and countertop protector pad (10) are shown and described, as well as the methods of manufacturing the pad and protecting a floor or countertop (28) with the invented pad. The protector pad (10) includes a barrier means that is a top layer of moisture-impermeable, and puncture-, tear-, and deformation-resistant high density polymeric film (12) and a bottom layer of closed-cell polymeric foam (18) bonded to the film (12). The film and foam thicknesses are selected to make the protector pad (10) lightweight and easily rollable and unrollable into a flat and uncurled shape, while still performing the barrier and cushioning jobs. The film (12) serves as the barrier to liquid spills and to gouging, scraping, or falling objects. |
