Common Surface Protection Mistakes

When you take on new clients and begin major construction or renovation projects, it’s your responsibility to ensure that their floors and countertops are protected. Common surface protection mistakes can lead to expensive damage, rework, and angry customers. Here’s a look at some common mistakes and how to avoid them. 

Not Using Any Protection Products

The biggest mistake you can make involves not using any protection products at all. No matter how careful you and your team are, accidents can still happen. Dust and debris can get on floors, window sills, and countertops. If the dust includes small, abrasive chunks of material, it could scratch or chip surfaces within the work area.

Failing to use any protection products can also lead to spills or other accidental damage. Don’t risk your reputation or your client’s home by skimping on surface protection. 

Using Subpar Products

One frequent error is choosing inadequate materials that fail to provide proper coverage or resist wear. Using subpar protection products can expose surfaces to scratches, stains, or impacts, compromising quality and increasing repair costs. 

That’s why it’s important to order high-quality surface protection products from a reputable supplier like Holland Manufacturing. Our materials are designed to hold up against the rigors of daily use and can help protect critical surfaces, including hardwood floors, tile, and carpet. 

Failing to Secure Protective Materials 

Lastly, you need to make sure you are using high-quality tape to secure the protective materials effectively. Whether it’s due to insufficient adhesive or improver coverage, poor application leaves surfaces vulnerable. 

Solutions like Holland’s reinforced tapes are designed for easy application and strong adhesion. They ensure that surface protection materials stay put for your entire project.
