Imagine Construction without Contamination...

that is exactly what TuffWrap Installations President and Founder David Campbell did.

TuffWrap is Celebrating 25 Years of Protection on the Jobsite! Twenty-five years ago, Dave Campbell needed to solve a roofing contractor’s problem of keeping dust from contaminating a workspace while roofers worked above. Initially, the resolution was to hang a temporary ceiling using a polyethylene sheet suspended below the roof deck. The crew used the new temporary suspended ceiling below the rafters to capture the years of accumulated dust and debris that might drop from above during the reroofing project. It worked well, and with some fine-tuning, the suspended cover system started getting noticed. Dave’s ingenuity shaped the creation of TuffWrap’s signature suspended cover SmartSeam®.

TuffWrap Installations’ first interior protection project was completed in 1999 when it installed a suspended cover temporary ceiling for David/Randall Associates during the reroofing of the 40,000 sq. ft. picture frame manufacturer to keep the facility fully operational. SmartSeam® was re-engineered and tested to the highest standards. Today, SmartSeam® Suspended Cover and proprietary installation is the only IBC® Code Compliant and FM Approved System on the market. SmartSeam® Suspended Cover and installation method are specifically developed and approved for temporary interior protection installed beneath the automatic sprinklers to mitigate dust and debris. SmartSeam® meets International Building Code EC 043-2020; NFPA 13, ASTM E84 Class A; FM-4652; UL 723S compliance standards.

Over the last two and a half decades the company has completed approximately 15 thousand interior and exterior protection jobs and manufactured and installed an average of approximately 375 million square feet of protection.  Designed all in-house, we continue innovating new products while developing existing ones. We are adamant about product code compliance. TuffWrap works with IAPMO in setting code compliance standards for the industry. We continually adhere to these standards for our products to ensure safety and protect against liability.

The innovative approach that company Founder and President Dave Campbell used to create his first suspended cover system became the start of many more products born out of customers’ needs and TuffWrap innovations.

Among the TuffWraps’ innovations are:

  • SmartSeam® Suspended Cover is the first product and installation system to allow the suspended cover to be placed below sprinklers and the only system in the industry that is 100% International Building Code compliant and FM-4652 Approved
  • C.O.R.E. Frameless Walls®, TuffWrap Hybrid Walls and Industrial Hybrid Walls, Total Enclosures, and Construction Doors ensure the workspace is fully functional through construction.
  • TuffWrap® EXT exterior temporary walls and doors. Engineered for the outdoors.
