Pro Tect - The Surface Protection Center® announced the launch of its completely rehabbed ecommerce site at www.pro-tect.com. New tools, a faster, totally secure shopping environment to give busy construction site managers faster, better tools for smart surface protection that saves money.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 22, 2008 -- Recently relaunched with busy construction managers in mind, Pro-tect.com has new tools and new products to help builders save money on their next project. Daniel Bowers, Pro-tect.com online manager, says surface protection at building and construction sites is a must for smart project managers. Products like carpet protection film and floor protector equal real money in terms of cleanup and repair costs. Bowers says his customers also get significant benefit from customer appreciation.

"The industry is based on word of mouth and showing your customers you care about their home can be priceless," Bowers says. He frequently hears stories of grateful customers even when workers use shoe booties, or boot covers when moving through finished areas.
Pro Tect offers a quick checklist to ensure proper surface protection. First, quality material is critical, Bowers says. Use self adhesive protector to cover carpets, stairs and hardwood floors. 3 mil thick material should be enough for most jobs. Make sure carpet protection film is water based. This means no permanent damage to surfaces if there is an accident. Apply plastic carpet protection products only on clean, dry surfaces. Additionally, make sure site surface temperature remains under 100 degrees.
Next, go through the stages of the construction project. In every stage note the need for surface protection, ie - areas where workers and finished surfaces interact. Carpet protection film is a top seller on Pro-tect.com. But contractors should keep in mind the full range of floor and finished surfaces that can be protected. Bowers lists carpet cover, floor film, counter top protector, windows mask and duct vent cover as profitable parts of a good surface protection plan.
Dust protection is an often overlooked benefit to surface protection, Bowers mentions. When thinking surface protection also think dust and dirt confinement. Contractors should use prop poles made of good quality metal (no aluminum or plastic) and solid plastic sheeting to seal dust and dirt within confined areas.
"We all know you can't eliminate dust completely but a little planning can go a long way to containing dust and dirt at the job site," Bowers says.
On construction jobs bathroom and kitchen surfaces are prime candidates for smart surface protection. Stairs are a must for carpet cover or floor protection. Finished floor guard for stairs is one of the most popular products at Pro-tect.com. Stairs can be efficiently protected with quick applied and durable film for the length of the construction project. Bowers adds that for floor protection, rosin paper is quickly being replaced by Poly-Craft mask at higher-traffic building sites.
"It's great material and real easy to work with, definitely worth the upgrade in busy sites over rosin paper."
Finally, Bowers notes that the vast majority of Pro Tect customers are repeat surface protection customers. Proof that construction managers who use good surface protection materials use them again and again.
