Green Leaf Construction is in the midst of constructing a new textile factory, with the steel skeleton standing tall and proud. Now comes the critical phase of pouring the concrete slab. However, there’s a significant obstacle in their path: it’s January in Maine, and the biting cold threatens to freeze the concrete if left unprotected. How can Green Leaf heat the workspace so they can pour concrete?

 

Enter TuffWrap EXT, the ultimate solution to this winter construction conundrum. Designed as a temporary exterior wall, TuffWrap EXT serves as a shield against the harsh elements of wind, rain, and snow. By enveloping the construction site with TuffWrap EXT, Green Leaf Construction can create a controlled environment conducive to concrete pouring, even amidst the coldest of winters.

Thankfully, TuffWrap offers specialized doors designed for exterior protection, capable of withstanding outdoor elements while providing easy access to the enclosed space. These doors can be customized to fit any size and shape, ensuring convenience for everyone on-site.
