Exterior restoration and repainting projects peak in June through August, and general contractors are increasingly specifying shrink wrap scaffolding enclosures instead of traditional shade cloth or debris netting.
Wind Load Performance
Standard debris netting fails above approximately 50 mph sustained winds. Industrial shrink wrap systems properly heat-fused and tensioned can remain intact at 100+ mph, protecting both the scaffold system and the street level below.
Rain and Substrate Protection
Summer afternoon thunderstorms can deposit inches of rain in under an hour. For facade restoration projects involving exposed masonry or fresh stucco, a shrink wrap enclosure keeps the work zone dry and the schedule intact.
Debris and Overspray Containment
Environmental regulations in most metro markets require documented debris and VOC containment on exterior painting projects. Shrink wrap enclosures satisfy both requirements.
