- 3. Course Description Surface protection is insurance against damage to a projects installed materials, saving time and money by keeping jobsite clean up and repair to a minimum. Proper surface protection protects the bottom line, and keeps the profit in the project. It helps ensure the finished project meets the architect's and client's vision, and it keeps the jobsite safer for workers. The architect can and should specify correct protection products. This course examines the damages known to occur on jobsites, and the considerations in choosing a temporary surface protection product. We will discuss the latest in surface protection technology for specific surfaces during all stages of construction, their importance on the jobsite, and how the jobsite circumstances need to be considered when selecting temporary surface protection products.
- 4. Learning Objectives Understand the need for surface protection during construction and renovation. Describe temporary protection strategies for various vertical and horizontal finished surfaces. Discuss the importance of proper surface protection for worker safety on jobsites. Examine case studies of innovative surface protection solutions.
- 5. Section 1 The Need for Temporary Surface Protection During Construction and Renovation
- 6. Benefits of surface protection: A dramatic reduction in repairs and last minute call backs resulting from machinery, foot traffic, materials, water, mold, sparks, UV, spills, stains. Helps ensure the finished project meets the architects and clients vision. Reduces worker injuries from slips, trips, and falls Improves client satisfaction Award winning polished concrete after removal of surface protection Why Is Surface Protection Needed?
- 7. Tire Tracks From Machinery When damages such as tire tracks occur, enormous time and money outlays may be required to correct the damage.
- 8. Abrasion From Foot Traffic Hallways and other heavily trafficked areas need durable and long-lasting surface protection during construction. Constant foot traffic can cause abrasions on the surface, especially if debris get under the traditional protection methods used. This debris is then ground into the surface by the foot traffic.
- 9. Chemical Spills & Stains Permanent stain hazards includes water, hydraulic fluid, diesel fuel and pipe cutting oil.
- 10. Paint, Mortar & Stucco Overspray from paint and stucco and dropping mortar is all too common on jobsites. As crews are asked to complete more work faster, the chance for damage increases and traditional light weight protection measures will not hold up.
- 11. Welding, Cutting & Grinding The activities of welding, cutting and grinding produce an abundance of metal debris that can damage concrete, terrazzo and installed flooring.
- 12. Dust & Debris Dirt & Debris will get blown under sheeted or loose lay protection. This can result in extra time and cost to repair or replace. Dust and debris, which are the usual outcome of construction activity, can scratch the surface of installed materials.
- 13. Materials Storage & Impacts An adhered temporary protection system prevents the unpleasant surprise of discovered damage when the job is nearing completion. Storing materials inside to prevent theft and weather damage is a common construction practice. The trucks and lifts that bring the materials in, as well as the impact of the materials themselves, can scratch, mar and stain already installed flooring.
- 14. Chips & Scratches Dings, chips and scratches on installed fixtures and features can be a disaster during construction. Often the bulk of the costs of replacement are compounded when actually accessing and removing the item from around other installed materials such as tile or plumbing. Example: A scratch on a newly installed bathtub could result in the need to pull out the entire tub in addition to the surrounding tile, fixtures, and plumbing.
- 15. Flooding Flooding on a job site is something that is always avoided if possible, but is often out of anyones control. Water can wash debris into areas that need protecting. Standing water can quickly rust any screws or nails, staining a surface permanently. Water can often ruin, lift or warp traditional site protection materials. Here, an exposed concrete slab was completely flooded by standing water. This finished concrete pad was saved by the of Skudos Commercial System that fully adheres to the surface.

- 23. Vertical surfaces can be at risk of scratches, dents and overspray of materials. Its important to provide protection for: Cabinets Shower Stalls Windows Walls Doors Protection solutions should also be adaptable to undulating and square edged surfaces: Stairs Countertops Built-ins & Vanities Bathtubs Railings & Door Frames Furniture Protecting Vertical Surfaces
- 24. Horizontal surfaces need protection from a variety of hazards during construction, including damage from machines, ground-in debris, chemical spills, overspray, dropped materials, foot traffic, and more. Protecting Horizontal Surfaces Examples include: Floors Concrete Stained / Sealed Polished Hardwood Marble Terrazzo Tile Carpet Stairs Countertops
- 25. The Need for Adhering Protection The need for surface protection on jobsites has been established. However, that protection will not serve its purpose if it rips, tears, or pulls away from the surface. Inferior materials often don't last the duration of the construction process. It's important to ensure that the protection selected both adheres to the surface and is long-lasting.

- 28. Intro: Protecting Floors Hard finished floor surfaces such as sealed hardwood, marble, terrazzo, tile, laminate, and decorative concrete can be protected with Skudo, which is later peeled off. Other methods are rolled paper, reinforced paperboard, or corrugated plastic board products. Heavy-duty protective mats are also available as an alternative to more expensive options such as fire-resistant plywood/masonite that are often used as rigorous protection on commercial construction sites.
- 29. Ideal floor protection will: Provide complete coverage of the surface, including around gaps and over undulations. Prevent the growth of mold and bacteria on the surface. Be environmentally responsible. Products made from materials such as post-consumer recycled plastic can provide LEED credits toward a job and create less waste; some peel-up products can be reused. Intro: Protecting Floors
- 30. Floor Damage Check List Moving and staging materials Machinery Equipment and furniture installation Contractor foot traffic Dust & Debris Paint & Mortar Spills and Stains Water & Mold UV Exposure
- 31. Appropriate Floor Protection The floor protection specified should be appropriate for the Type of surface requiring protection Expected level of construction activity Project duration
- 32. Temporary Adhering Protection for Concrete Skudo Commercial System installed on concrete, protecting from chips, stains, residue and more.
- 33. Temporary Adhering Protection for Concrete Polished concrete being protected by Skudo during the construction of a church. Church project once Skudo is removed. Added Advantage: Skudo provides the Project Manager the flexibility to polish the floors before the walls and framing go up.
- 34. Temporary Adhering Protection for Hardwood Sealed hardwood can be easily dented and scratched during construction and renovation. Dirt and debris can get underneath inferior protection methods such as plastic and cardboard, causing even more damage when subjected to foot traffic. A temporarily adhering protection system like Skudo insures nothing gets between the protection and the surface.
- 35. Temporary Adhering Protection for Marble Paper and cardboard temporary protection methods often fail, causing a hazard for workers and offering little or no protection. Skudo on this marble surface protects it from construction site traffic, spills, impacts and more.
- 36. Temporary Adhering Protection for Terrazzo Working on Terrazzo can create challenges for contractors, most notably marks on the surface resulting from machinery, traffic and other impacts. Often used at healthcare facilities, it is imperative to avoid the potential for mold and bacteria growth. Skudo protects from all of these challenges. Water damage on unprotected Terrazzo Terrazzo protected with Skudo
- 37. Temporary Adhering Protection for Tile When the adhering protective mat is pulled off the tile floor, the strong mat removes any remaining dirt from the tile and grout. There are two main challenges with tile it gets chipped and it gets dirty, especially the tile grout. Skudo helps avoid these problems. The mats protect installed tile flooring against construction site traffic, including machinery, impact, spills and stains.
- 38. Temporary Adhering Protection for Kitchen & Bath Skudo Mat products are ideal for protecting cabinets, countertops and tubs/shower units. Skudos Glass Advanced is excellent for shower panels and glass and for protecting tubs from grout and paint overspray.
- 39. Countertops, cabinets, and molding can be protected against scratches, dings, spills, and overspray with mat products which adhere to the surface. Temporary Adhering Protection for Countertops & Cabinets
- 40. Temporary Adhering Protection for Carpet & Carpeted Stairs Carpets and carpeted stairs can be protected with peel and stick mats and films. Many cheaper films will transfer adhesive onto the surface if left in place more than 2 weeks, and can be affected by temperature extremes and UV. For best protection, specify protective mats that will not transfer adhesive for up to 12 months, like Skudo Tack-Mat.
- 41. Temporary Adhering Protection for Walls Finished walls can be protected with stain- resistant Skudo Tack-Mat. Non-porous, synthetic sheet products such as masking film and poly sheeting are used to protect walls. This is often applied to finished surfaces with masking or clean room tape, both of which are designed to be removed without leaving residue. However, their performance is short lived and most tapes will aggressively adhere or etch into the surface if left on too long.
- 42. Temporary Adhering Protection for Glass & Windows Window glass and painted or anodized metal frames can be treated with Skudo Glass Advanced, a roll-on or spray-on product which be factory applied to protect glass during transport. Tack-Mat can be applied vertically to protect from light impact damage, scratches as well as overspray and mortar spills. Tack-Mat also peels off once construction is completed.
- 43. Temporary Adhering Protection for Doors Wood and glass doors need to be protected from scuffs, scratches, dust, dirt, spills, and paint overspray. Damage to finished door jambs, door surfaces, and hardware can be caused by moving and installing furniture and heavy equipment such as mechanical systems, kitchens, and industrial appliances. Prefabricated jamb protection products made of heavy-duty plastic or paperboard snap over door frames, protecting the casing from dents and scratches due to carts, and worker tool belts. A self-adhering product like Tack- Mat can be applied to door panel surfaces, door jambs, and hardware as a protective layer and can still allow the doors to be closed. Need pic of door
- 44. Exterior Applications Exterior applications such as pre-finished concrete need to be protected from machinery, impact, stains, and rust. Some mats can go on fresh concrete the day after placement in order to protect it from the following construction processes.
- 45. Section 3 Proper surface protection for worker safety on jobsites
- 46. Slips, trips, and falls (STF) constitute the majority of general industry accidents. STFs cause 15% of all accidental deaths. Approximately 70 percent of slips, trips, and falls occur on level walking surfaces. Slips, trips, and falls result in nearly 104 million lost workdays annually, at a cost of $36 billion every year. An average slip, trip, or fall injury costs approximately $28,000. Facts: The Risk of Jobsite Injuries
- 47. Injuries from slips, trips and falls can be significant: Concussion Traumatic brain injury Head, back, or neck injuries Broken bones, broken hips Fractures to arms, legs, ankles, spine, hips, pelvis, and hands Spinal injuries from strains and sprains to herniated discs Significant Injuries The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and The National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI), among other organizations, recommend practices to prevent slips, trips, and falls at the jobsite. Also, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has established standards to evaluate slip, trip, and fall incidents to help entities in developing their own safety program.
- 48. Slip, Trip & Fall Hazards Obstruction in the form of debris, improper material handling and housekeeping, tools, and equipment can cause accidents. Traction robbing substances on the floor surface, such as water, oil, grease, sand, mud, and other substances can be hazardous. Other hazards include flooring with too little traction, such as a metal floor worn smooth from abrasive traffic, smooth finished concrete, or faulty flooring. Poorly considered protection products such as paper, cardboard and plastic can create hazards for the workers since they slide underfoot and have gaps and ridges. .
- 49. Exterior Surface Protection In exterior applications, proper surface protection should: Provide non-slip protection in wet, dry conditions. Provide protection in below freezing temperatures and on the hottest days. Be seamless and stationary. Not warp or move with wind, rain or weather.
- 50. Caution: Some surface protection materials actually create hazards for slips, trips and falls. Paper Cardboard Plastic Flimsy Surface Protection Creates Extra Hazards
- 51. Common Locations for SLF Hazards Common locations for falls include: Areas with heavy traffic, such as hallways, doorways or small rooms. Uneven surfaces, such as stairs. Areas prone to wetness or spills. For a safe work environment, ensure slip- and trip-free working surfaces.

- 59. Case Study: K-8 School Skudo protected concrete for 12 months during construction of this school in Poway, CA. The heat and sparks from cutting metals would typically create marks on the surface. The surface was damage & stain free when the mats were peeled up and was then later polished.
- 60. Skudo protected polished concrete at a new cafeteria. Below, the site is under construction and machinery and material are strewn over the surface. Once the job was completed and the mats removed, the concrete was in perfect condition. Case Study: Office Cafeteria
- 61. Case Study: Apartment Fire Top of the Mark apartment building, Brisbane, Australia suffered extensive fire damage. $15,000 was saved because the project used Skudos Commercial System that has a flame retardant built into the Mat. Unprotected tile damaged by smoke and soot after fire.
- 62. Case Study: Sports Stadium At Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban, South Africa, newly fitted glass windows and doors were protected from damage during construction with Skudo Glass Advanced, which is rolled or sprayed on and then peeled off after construction is completed. This protection film reduces breakage, and keeps paint, concrete, stucco, and dust and debris from grinding and welding from coming into contact with the glass or framing for up to 12 months.
- 63. Case Study: Sports Stadium Skudo Glass Advanced protected the glass windows and doors from costly damage: Scuffs and scratches from worker tools and cable lines Dust and dirt created from the construction site Spills and overspray of paint and plaster UV damage that occurs in sunny climates By protecting the windows and doors, the contractors prevented damage, disputes, expensive cleaning bills, and completion delays.
- 64. Conclusion Surface protection of installed materials is critical during the messy, quick-paced and often chaotic construction process. Hazards on a construction site are everywhere. Finished materials are at risk from hundreds of daily activities. Specification of a durable temporary protection system that adheres to the surface is the surest way to preserve the installed materials underneath. From polished concrete to sealed hardwood floors to marble and terrazzo, and from fixtures to glass and more, Skudo will not only protect the materials it covers, but the bottom line of the project as well.
