Construction Protection
How do you protect glass during construction?
Protectapeel provides a peelable coating that protects glass from scratches, dirt, and damage during construction. It is easily applied using an airless spray gun, reducing labour requirements on-site. Once the project is complete, the coating can be effortlessly peeled away, leaving the glass clean and undamaged.
Can door and window frames be protected during construction?
Yes, Protectapeel can be applied to non-porous door and window frames to protect from damage caused by scratching, plaster, or weather exposure. Before full application, you must always apply the Protectapeel product to a small test area to test the substrate's suitability. You must ensure that all substrates are well covered. Allow the product to dry for 48 hours, and then check that the Protectapeel product will peel away from each substrate.
When should you protect windows during construction?
Once the windows are installed, apply Protectapeel immediately to protect them during finishing works.
How to cover countertops during construction?
Protectapeel offers a simple solution for protecting countertops during construction. It can be applied directly without the need for measuring, cutting, or taping. Simply spray it on, allow it to dry, and it will shield countertops from damage such as scratches, mortar, and paint overspray. Before application, you must always apply the Protectapeel product to a small test area to test the substrate's suitability. You must ensure that all substrates are well covered. Allow the product to dry for 48 hours, and then check that the Protectapeel product will peel away from each substrate.
Can other surfaces be protected during construction?
Yes, Protectapeel can be applied to a range of non-porous surfaces, including flooring, sanitary basins, countertops, windows, frames, and doors. Before project handover, it can be easily removed by hand peeling, revealing clean, undamaged surfaces without delays or additional costs. Before application, you must always apply the Protectapeel product to a small test area to test the substrate's suitability. You must ensure that all substrates are well covered. Allow the product to dry for 48 hours, and then check that the Protectapeel product will peel away from each substrate.
How does Protectapeel compare to other construction protection materials?
Protectapeel offers significant advantages over traditional protective films and boards by drastically reducing labour during application and removal. Unlike films that can lose adhesion or boards that shift out of place, Protectapeel adheres securely to surfaces, ensuring consistent protection for up to 12 months.
Additionally, Protectapeel’s effective barrier minimises cleaning costs by shielding surfaces from dirt, dust, and debris. These combined benefits make it a far more cost-effective and reliable solution for construction projects.
