TuffWrap Protects Your Job Against April Showers.

TuffWrap protects against April Showers with a SmartSeam® Suspended Cover.  Are you planning on replacing a roof this Spring? Installing a temporary suspended ceiling during reroofing activities protects people, products, and property.  Dust and debris containment barriers enable reroofing and repair projects to continue overhead. A job can proceed without costly production shutdowns, product recall risks, and endangering people and products.

SmartSeam Temporary Barrier Protection

The SmartSeam System safeguarded a large dome roof. Even when tasked with this challenging roofing debris containment job, TuffWrap provided temporary barrier protection that exceeded industry standards. Overall, the Nation’s Leading Public University’s Iconic Dome roof renovation was a challenging and complex installation. The domed roof of Advanced Light Source (ALS) was replaced with a cool roof that reflects the sunlight into the atmosphere.

The installation team cut SmartSeam Suspended Cover panels (totaling 23,000 square feet) to size to protect the dome from the inside. Extensive safety precautions protected workers and equipment, including closing the facility during the major project. The dome dates back to 1940.  The entire interior of the dome was covered with plastic sheeting. The temporary barrier collected dust and debris. Especially the lead-based paint debris that might have fallen or scraped off during the roofing work.

The TuffWrap SmartSeam® System is the only fully code-compliant temporary ceiling construction barrier and installation method approved for safe installation below fire sprinklers, mitigating dust and debris. Installing SmartSeam® gives companies confidence that the fire sprinklers remain fully operational in case of a fire during the reroofing project.

How Proper Containment Fixes Dust Control Fails on Job Sites In an occupied facility, dust and debris affect employees, customers, equipment, inventory, production, and the schedule itself.
