Home Remodelling Guide- Protect Your Home During Refurbishment

It is often said that “your home is your castle”. Every homeowner can attest to this belief, but when your castle is being remodeled, it can feel like your beloved kingdom is under attack. Walls suddenly disappear, strange people making loud noises and your sacred room becomes unrecognizable as it just disappeared. A plumber calls for the fourth time to say he can’t make it and your contractor casually informs you that you’re £2,000 over budget.

Ensuring your home is protected during builds is vital and can prevent missed deadlines and over-spend on budgets

  • Outside Matters
    Catch dirt and debris before it even enters the home. Trapmats are tacky mats that provide cost effective dust and dirt containment for fit-out and refurbishment work. The high-tack adhesive mat surface will trap and remove dust and debris from foot and wheeled traffic. Each tacky mat contains 30 numbered peel-away sheets coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive. The sheets capture work dust and debris in doorways to reduce the need for cleaning in non-working areas. The non-slip trapmats can be laid directly onto any clean floor surface and removed without damaging the floor below.

 

  • Clean Feet = Clean Floors
    Say good-bye to scuffs, footprints and heel marks with overshoes. Designed to slip on easily, they’re extremely affordable and convenient. Made from a heavy duty disposable elasticated polyethylene, to one universal size, Protec Overshoes fit all types of footwear, pulling easily over working boots. They’re also highly visible, making it easy to identify and educate non-users. Continue reading →

Plaster Boarding a ceiling? Zipwall props will hold them in place for you!!

Plaster Boarding a Ceiling with ZipWallThis is a nifty application for our Zipwall temporary screening system.

Predominantly Zipwall is used for screening off areas but plasterers whilst using it have also commented on another great use – holding plasterboard up on ceilings.

Another application for this fantastic product.

Often when plaster boarding ceilings, a lot of dust and dirt can be created – particularly from taking down older ceilings – so the Zipwall is also good for screening too.

Stove away those winter blues!

We always find that our customers are the best positioned to tell us the most innovative and best uses for our temporary protective materials.

One of our domestic customers purchased our Zipwall 4 pole kit and self adhesive carpet protection to cover up areas whilst new stove was installed in his living room.

Not only the carpets, walls and furnishings remained clean and dust free for the duration of the works undertaken (including demolition, brickwork, plastering and painting) the contractor installing the stove was so impressed with how our materials work, they bought the set off our customer!

Happy household, happy contractor, we are pleased to have been able to help!
