Avoiding a Mess: Clever Ways to Streamline Your Renovation

You’re excited about sprucing up your property’s interior with a fresh coat of paint. The task seems easy enough for a DIY project, but there are concerns about messy conditions. Currently, there’s an entire market of products to protect your home with ease. Consider these tools for your next project. There’s no reason why a mess should be your biggest worry.

Dusty Conditions

It’s not unusual to kick up a lot of dust during a project. You might be removing materials from your “popcorn” ceiling or breaking apart hardwood floors. Protect the rest of the house from dust by adding containment walls to the project area. Plastic sheeting attached at the ceiling and floor allows only people through at a designated slit. The dust remains in the work area. It not only protects the home, but it also improves the air quality for everyone outside of the work area.

Surface Protection

Numerous surfaces require protection as you work on any home or business project. Floors, counters and furniture may require a covering offered by TRIMACO. These covers can be fabric dropcloths, plastic films or heavy-duty flooring options. The protection serves several purposes. Items falling onto the surfaces won’t mar them in any way. Workers can step on the protected areas without any worries. In some cases, machinery may require passage on a surface. Simply choose a covering that’s strong enough for the task at hand.

Masking the Edges

Every paint job requires preparation of the surrounding area. Masking tape and paper are common tools in the painting industry. Use products that only the professionals appreciate. Industrial, masking tools are easy to apply and peel off when necessary. You might consider tools that help you create a straight line with your masking tape.

Use the wrong tape on a wall, and you’ll be pulling off adhesive for months to come. Masking tapes are different because the adhesive pulls away with ease. Don’t leave it on for weeks at a time, however. Sticky areas might occur in these cases.

Personal Protection

Spray hoods and other protective clothing allow you to work without any concern about your favorite jeans or shirt. Wear these items when you’re dealing with noxious chemicals. Sprays are particularly bothersome without protective gear. For those huge projects, face masks or respirators may be appropriate. Be aware of the chemicals that you’re using so that you can pick the right protection for your body.

Find most of these products at your local, home-improvement store. They’re also available on Amazon when you want an at-home delivery. Purchase your products before you start any project. You’ll notice that the tasks aren’t as time-consuming as they were in the past. Project preparation simply streamlines every step.
