Surface protection products will more than pay for themselves in the time and money saved by not having to replace or repair anything in the home. The effort and time wasted by repairing or replacing products alone is worth preventing the damage in the first place. Green surface protection products are available to protect just about any surface in the home during construction.
FLOORS/CARPETS
Instead of nicking that beautiful wood floor that was just laid, or tracking stains all over the pure white carpet the homeowners have chosen, floors are easily protected while the rest of the job is finished by using surface protection products.
DOORS
Doors can easily be wrapped in a protective sheet to prevent dirt smears, dents and paint overspray. Door protection is light colored, so any important site information can be written on it by the construction crew without damage to the door. Door protection is cost effective and can be ordered in custom sizes if needed.
COUNTERS
Easily modified to fit any surface, counter protection products are made of thick durable corrugate and provide protection not only to the countertop but to the front of the cabinetry as well.
BATHROOMS
Tub damage is a very common event and can really add unexpected costs to building a home. There are various styles of tub protection on the market from liners to covers. Most liners are not green building products but some tub covers are green. The keys to preventing damage are eliminating the use of bath tubs as garbage cans and preventing contractors from standing in the tubs, grinding screws or nails into the finish of the tub or shower pan.
Toilet protection is available as well. It locks on securely and protects the entire fixture during construction.
HVAC
Inexpensive HVAC protection is worth its weight in gold¡it keeps screws, nails, dust and debris from falling into the heating ducts. This simple product can save a lot of money spent in cleaning the duct work after construction is finished.
Builders and contractors everywhere can benefit by using surface protection products during the construction process. Many of the products are reusable from job to job, and can be printed with the name and/or logo of a business for promotional purposes. Time and money is saved by reducing the amount of replacement and repair needed when finishing up a construction job while our environment is saved by using green building products.
