Why “Blue Tarps” Are a Red Flag for Commercial Risk Managers

Why “Blue Tarps” Are a Red Flag for Commercial Risk Managers

In the B2B sector, risk mitigation is paramount. While a blue tarp might pass for a residential shed, it is increasingly viewed as a liability on commercial sites—especially by insurance adjusters and risk auditors.

The Problem with Permeability

Woven tarps are permeable. Over time, UV degradation widens the weave, allowing water to seep through. In a commercial setting involving sensitive inventory, electronics, or asbestos abatement, “mostly dry” is unacceptable.

The 100% Sealed Standard

Scaffwrappers provides a monolithic barrier. Once our seams are heat-welded, the wrap becomes a single, continuous unit.

  • Compliance: For projects involving dust containment (silica, lead, asbestos), our wraps meet the strict negative-pressure requirements that tarps cannot.
  • Liability: A flapping tarp that detaches in high wind becomes a projectile. A heat-shrunk Scaffwrappers installation is aerodynamically streamlined, reducing wind resistance and liability risk.

Facility Managers: Stop approving POs for temporary fixes that create permanent problems.
