The gals at Builders Site Protection are here to help you. This blog is our attempt to keep you informed on Surface Protection, Dust Control and Lead Containment updates. We also want to keep you posted on general industry discussions, trade shows and issues facing contractors and builders in the U.S.
We're excited to introduce a new product to our line, Ram Board Plus. Ram Board Plus features an adhesive strip that allows extremely quick and easy installation for indoor and outdoor settings. Installation time can be cut by as much as 40%, all while providing the tough and cost-effective protection RamBoard has always been known for.
The added tape is extremely helpful for applying Ram Board to countertops, walls, and other non-floor surfaces. So far, the limited feedback we have received is very positive, due to its ease of application. A local Central Oregon builder told us the built-in adhesive will make install far easier on his project's countertops.
Ram Board Plus is offered in the same size as standard Ram Board, 38" x 100 ft, and is sold for $68.99/roll. Visit our website www.buildsitepro.com or email us at sales@buildsitepro.com to receive product samples or to learn more about floor protection.
Whether it be home improvement, remodel, or ground-up construction, come the finish stages of the project, doors, jambs, and thresholds all experience lots of use. Workers and materials are constantly passing through doorways, leaving expensive and difficult to repair finishes exposed to damage. Even supplies as small as extension cords can scuff and damage hardwood door jambs. Boots, carts, and tools are passing over thresholds, which take heaps of use before any project is completed. Though doors are hung very late in the building process, fixing any damage to them is a tremendously costly and difficult process.
DoorGuard, Ram Jamb, and UV Threshold Tape. Three affordable items are all it takes to prevent any frustrating damage to interior and exterior entryways.
After framing and flooring work, thresholds are one of the first finish pieces installed. As such, they're at risk of extensive damage, because they experience so much use, even when a door hasn't been installed. Thresholds can quickly be covered to keep them damage-free. UV Threshold Tape is the industry standard for threshold protection. Thick, strong, and UV-resistant, UV Threshold tape can keep a threshold or trim safe for 180 days. See below for a comprehensive overview of UV Threshold Tape.
With thresholds covered, jambs are the next most likely to be damaged among this group. Fortunately, protecting a jamb is the quickest and easiest of all. Using RamJamb, a reusable cover can be snapped around any sized jamb in seconds. RamJamb holds itself in place by it's own shape (no adhesives), and as such is can be used indefinitely.
Finally, DoorGuard is a BC-flute board cover that provides a temporary barrier against dust and debris damage to hung doors. DoorGuard quickly attaches with tailored elastic bands, and allow the door to remain in use while DoorGuard is installed. Affordable, and attached in less than thirty seconds, DoorGuard is a great way to prevent any door-related headaches during the building process.
With three quick steps, an entire entryway can be comprehensively protected from damage. These three products are among our bestsellers, and local builders have regularly been using them for years. To learn more about any of these surface protection solutions, visit our website www.buildsitepro.com
Construction projects can be a messy thing. Exposure to the elements, foot traffic, tool use, and proximity to unpaved roads and driveways all generate huge amounts of dust and debris. Homebuyers and homeowners can often be taken aback by all of the dirty clutter when checking the progress of their projects. While a construction project will never be spotless, it doesn't have to be messy, either.
ZipWall is the industry standard for Dust Containment
Using ZipWall's systems of poles, zippers, and temporary doors, jobsite dust can be nearly eliminated. Ideal for office and residential settings, local homebuilders regularly stop in to pick up ZipWall products due to their effectiveness and their ease of use. The Zip-poles have a spring loaded quick telescoping system to easily expand to the height or a ceiling. Temporary doors use mild adhesive tape to stay in place, and the zippers quickly attach to plastic sheeting with an adhesive backing. ZipWall makes using plastic sheeting to control dust extremely quick and hassle-free.
In addition to ZipWall, we carry an extensive line of dust control solutions. Shoe covers, walk-off mats, vent covers, negative air machines, and more can be found on our website.
