Tufcoat construction screens have been developed to provide temporary weather protection to steel or concrete framed projects by creating a floor-to-ceiling barrier infilling apertures, openings or whole floors of a scheme can be secured.
By fixing a perimeter screen to the reinforce concrete formwork or steel beams each level of this type of construction can be weatherproofed maintaining an internal, controlled environment suitable for advancing second fix activities before the building envelope is completed.
Once the exterior of the scheme is watertight then the screens can be removed, the shrink-wrap can be recycled and the timber either reused on-site or recycled as well.
This method has been recognised by the Considerate Construction Scheme’s best practice hub and has been implemented on numerous sites for the time-saving benefits but also the safety aspect which greatly reduces wind gusting through the levels carrying dust and debris across sites.
