Patent attributes
A catch mat for protecting a floor and a wall during construction activities includes two or more cushioning pads each having a top surface, a bottom surface, and four peripheral edges. Each cushioning pad has a first part of a two-part fastener strip fixed along the top surface proximate one of the peripheral edges. A flexible second part of the two-part fastener strip is adapted to engage the first part of the two-part fastener strip of adjacent and abutting cushioning pads to fasten them mutually yet pivotally together. Each cushioning pad further includes at least one resilient masking strip projecting away from one of the peripheral edges of the cushioning pad at the top surface thereof. In use, the cushioning pads, fastened together, are placed on the floor against the wall with the masking strip bent upward against the wall to protect the floor and wall from falling debris.
