While students are enjoying summer break, facilities teams are working overtime to prepare schools for hurricane season. One powerful, often overlooked tool in their arsenal? Shrink wrap. It’s fast, effective, and capable of protecting vital infrastructure before and after the storm.
The Summer Storm Gap
Summer is the perfect time for repairs and upgrades — but it’s also peak hurricane season. If your school is mid-construction, re-roofing, or renovating, even a minor storm can halt progress and cause costly damage.
Shrink wrap fills that gap. It can temporarily enclose:
- Roofs mid-removal
- Exposed classrooms or gymnasiums
- Damaged windows or curtain walls
- Temporary structures or trailers
Protection with Compliance in Mind
School districts operate under strict safety codes and timelines. Shrink wrap can help:
- Prevent water intrusion and mold in student areas
- Maintain ADA-compliant pathways with covered walkways
- Avoid delays from re-inspections after weather damage
- Comply with insurance mitigation standards
It’s a low-profile way to deliver high-impact risk reduction during sensitive maintenance windows.
Budget-Conscious and Fast
Unlike major capital projects, shrink wrap is fast and scalable. It can be installed in hours, removed cleanly, and adjusted around active work zones. Schools can preserve existing budgets while protecting ongoing work.
Helping Schools Stay on Schedule
StormWrappers partners with public and private institutions to ensure buildings are ready for Day One — even in unpredictable weather. Whether it’s a single building or an entire campus, we work in sync with facilities crews to wrap vulnerable areas and keep the school year on track.
