Introducing Sheltex-14 Adhesive Felt; Protection for Stairs, Tubs, Floors, and More!

We're committed to providing our customers with the widest possible array of finish protection solutions, dust control products, and just about anything else we feel can help out on the jobsite - whether commercial or residential. To that aim, we're always excited to introduce new products for people to try on their jobsites. Today, we're happy to be bringing Sheltex-14 MAX adhesive felt to our product line. 

Sheltex-14 is a soft, fiber-based adhesive surface protection designed with a wide array of finishes and applications in mind. With its adhesive base layer, Sheltex-14 can be applied to finishes vertically, as well as used to securely remain in place horizontally on floors and countertops. Because of this versatility, Sheltex-14 can even be used on stairs - one of the trickiest interior finishes to protect. 

So far we've seen Sheltex-14 used in elevator cabs, secured around handrails, on stairs, covering furniture and other wood fixtures, and as a soft, secure hardwood floor protection. Because it can easily be cut to specific size, Sheltex can be used for specialized applications such as custom tubs/showerpans and on high-end stainless steel furnishings.  

Each roll is 39" wide and 82' long, totaling 267 square feet per roll. Sheltex is available individually on our website, or by the pallet of 15 via custom quote. 

If you would like complimentary products samples of Sheltex-14, please email our sales team at sales@buildsitepro.com. To learn more about other surface protection products, visit our website www.buildsitepro.com

Selection parameters for short-term surface protection

When identifying solutions for short-term surface protection, some or all of the following five parameters should be considered:

1. Time: How long will temporary surface protection be adhered to the product? Typical times can range from one hour to years.
2. Temperature: What will the exposure temperature be? For example, in Phoenix or Texas, extremely hot temperatures can be common and tends to soften any adhesive films. Also, will the product be exposed to cold temperatures during shipping or storage?  Paint or spray on liquid protection for tubs or windows are both cold sensitive.
3. Temperature exposure: What will the duration of temperature exposure be? 
4. Substrate: Is the substrate that will be protected metal, wood, plastic, glass or other material?
5. Conditions: What conditions will the product be exposed to, for instance, salt in coastal environments high humidity, or ultraviolet exposure from sunlight, fluorescent light or other sources?

As always, feel free to contact your surface protection experts at Builders Site Protection if you need help determining the best products to use for your particular jobsite.
