Protecting Your Interiors During a Remodeling: 5 Things You Can’t Forget
Remodeling projects are always exciting as they add a new charm to old homes, but they are definitely not cheap! Unfortunately, your remodeling project could become even more costly if you are not careful in protecting your interiors during the renovations. The good news is that thanks to a range of protective products that are widely available, it is possible to completely protect all your interiors during even the messiest of renovations these days. To know where and how to use them effectively though, here are five tips to keep in mind.
Cover Up the Floors Completely
It doesn’t matter whether you are breaking down drywall or just repainting the drawing room, the floors are constantly at risk because everything does always end up there. A bucket of spilled paint can ruin the floor, while heavy debris from renovations can scratch, dent and discolor surfaces quite easily. Protect the floors with Trimaco’s range of lightweight floor protection products. They have everything from drop cloths and flooring papers to protective films and even heavy-duty surface protection. Exactly what you need will depend on the kind of renovation you have planned, so visit their site to get detailed info on each of the products.
Protect Your Door Frames
Door frames are often among the first to get nicked and therefore, seeing scratches and dents on them post-renovation is quite common. Protect them with Trimaco’s SuperTuff Door Jamb Protector. They are relatively cheap, can be reused, and the boards offer comprehensive protection to all types of door frames.
Wipe Away Spills Immediately
Time is of the essence when you need to protect your flooring against permanent damage after a spill. Wipe the spilled paint or any other chemical away immediately from the surface with an industrial wiping cloth from Trimaco before the liquid is able to do any permanent damage. Keep industrial cleaners close by that are appropriate for the floor material you have.
Set Up Plastic Sheets to Prevent the Dust from Spreading
Dust is something that always seems to be present in varying amounts, irrespective of how much you clean every day. When there’s a remodeling project going on though, there is going to be massive amounts of dust, and unless you have set up a few Trimaco E-Z Up dust containment plastic sheets to prevent the dust from spreading to other parts of the house, you will have to keep cleaning your house for a long time to come!
Protect Your Furniture with Drop Cloths
Trimaco also has a specialized heavy-duty canvas drop cloth which is recommended for protecting your furniture during renovations. Unlike other drop cloths, this one actually has the flannel backing necessary to prevent the delicate furniture from getting scratched and the extra weight keeps it firmly in place, confidently protecting whatever furniture you put it on.
If you are the one doing the renovation yourself, don’t neglect your own protection either because the number of people who end up injured in their own home by neglecting basic safety is alarmingly high every year. At the very least, buy a hard hat, a basic respirator, a pair of protective glasses and some work gloves to begin with.
