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.
As the economy begins to reopen this summer and building gets back on track, many jobsites and projects are going to be exposed to high temperatures. Not only does this make life for the workers and subs on site more difficult, but it can often make applying surface protection trickier too. However, UV Threshold Tape is UV and heat resistant, which makes summertime application risk-free.
Our specially formulated UV Threshold Tape is the leading threshold protection.UV Tape is rated for 180 day use, even under continuous exposure to direct sunlight. After six months of use, UV Threshold Tape will cleanly and easily peel off of metal surfaces, without any adhesive transfer or flaking.
Each roll of tape is 4" wide by 180' long, which is enough to protect roughly 30 standard thresholds. UV Threshold Tape is available in individual rolls, or in discounted cases of 12 rolls. We also offer resale packaging for retail outlets and distributors.
In addition to thresholds, UV Tape can also be used on metal sills, jambs, and other common entryway finishes. It is one of the lowest cost and easiest to use surface protection products available. Peel, pull, and place, that's it.

We have posted our latest article to our EZine publishing page, which details why door, jamb, and threshold protection are vital in construction projects. Whether for remodeling, residential projects, or commercial work, doorways often take the brunt of construction damage. Due to this, entryways are the best place to start placing surface protection. We offer advice and product recommendations to best keep entryways protected.

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
Last week we shipped a very large order of our 60" Edge Protection and RamJamb jamb savers to the ongoing residential tower being constructed at 10,000 Santa Monica Blvd. This project, named Ten Thousand, is being built by Swinterton Builders and is set to provide 282 luxury residences in an area typically dominated by office space. The 40 story tower tower comes with a hefty $300 million construction cost; making their investment in surface protection vital.
Once completed, the residences in the tower will have sweeping views, ranging from the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Downtown LA skyline to the east. Further, it will become the only tall building in Century City not to feature a flat roof, as more new buildings in the greater Los Angeles area are seeking to depart from L.A.'s typically bland and flat top design. The Ten Thousand project is slated for a late-2016 opening.
