Project Overview

Waddon Phase 2 is a major affordable housing development in Croydon, delivered by Formation Design & Build as the main contractor.

With multiple blocks and trades working across the development, protecting newly installed internal surfaces throughout the construction programme was essential. Protectapeel GlassDefend was used to provide temporary protection to internal glazing and compatible surrounding surfaces, helping maintain finish quality through installation, fit-out and finishing works.

The Challenge

On a large multi-block residential development, newly installed glass can remain vulnerable for an extended period while other trades continue working.

Internal glazing was at risk from scratches, scuffs, dust and general site damage caused by ongoing construction activity and material movement. Formation Design & Build therefore required a solution that could be applied efficiently, remain in place throughout the build and be removed cleanly before handover.

The Solution

Protectapeel GlassDefend was applied to internal glass and compatible surrounding surfaces to create a durable temporary protective barrier.

Once dry, the peelable coating helps protect surfaces against scratches, scuffs and construction damage for up to 24 months. At the end of the protection period, GlassDefend can simply be peeled away, leaving the protected surface clean and residue-free.
