Project Overview

For the Canning Town Old Library project, Eden Facades required a dependable temporary surface protection solution to help preserve internal glazed surfaces during the construction programme. Spraylat International supplied Protectapeel GlassDefend, a high-performance peelable coating developed to protect sensitive surfaces while supporting efficient project delivery.

The Challenge

Construction environments expose installed surfaces to a high risk of scratches, scuffs, dust and general site damage. For façade and glazing contractors, maintaining the quality of finished glass through to handover is essential, particularly where replacement or remedial cleaning can add cost, delay and waste. EdenFacades needed a solution that would provide robust temporary protection, remain effective over an extended period, and be removed cleanly at the end of the works.

The Solution

Spraylat recommended Protectapeel GlassDefend for the internal glass protection requirements at Canning Town Old Library. Designed for easy application, the coating forms a temporary protective barrier that helps defend surfaces against scratches and damage during construction activity. Once no longer needed, it peels away cleanly after up to 24 months, helping to leave the substrate residue-free and ready for final presentation. The product also supports compliance requirements, having achieved British Standard 476: Part 7 1997 Class 1 for surface spread of flame.
