Guardian Plates®: Affordable Slide-Out Floor Rot Solutions
Water damage and floor separation are the most expensive and common issues on RV slide-outs. Over time, water intrusion at the outer corners and roller wear under the slide destroy your floors from the inside out, leading to costly rebuilds and major downtime.
Guardian Plates® were engineered to eliminate those water entry points and reinforce the floor’s structural integrity—permanently.
The Proven Fix for Slide-Out Floor Rot
Crafted from ultra-durable 304 stainless steel, our plates are built to aviation-grade standards with a mirror finish that adds a high-end look to your rig. They've been field-tested for nearly a decade with proven results:
- Stops Water Entry at the most vulnerable outer edges
- Prevents Laminate Damage from roller wear with our optional Roller Plates™
- Strengthens the Floor Structure, stopping sag, flex, and separation
- Looks Factory-Installed, with polished stainless mirror finish.
If you are looking for the best slide-out floor rot remediation at an affordable price, Guardian Plates are for you.
