Protect it from what exactly? What about hard cardboard? You could scour the bigger groceries to see if they have any large sheets of hard cardboard that they want to dispose. Construction plastic (polyethylene) may also be an option.

Styrofoam sheets you could get for 1/2" to whatever thickness you want

many contractors use heavy duty poly/plastic liner that you get on large rolls to protect tiled, carpet or wood floors. Ply or other solid sheet may scratch the tile if there is dirt, sand or debris between it.

Plastic with ply on the boundaries to keep the plastic down

Try some vinyl carpet... usually goes for around $15 per yrd
