4 Elements Of Good Interior Protection During Your Business Renovation

Do you plan to have renovation work done at your business site? If so, one of the most important things you can do to ensure business continuity and the health and safety of your employees is to use proper interior protection. What should interior protection look like during your remodel? Here are four components to look for.

1. Ceiling Protection

The construction work will kick up a lot of debris, dust, and even chemicals into the air where they can get into cleaner areas. Many of these items can travel upwards into the highest reaches of rooms. Therefore, protection is key to keeping the mess contained. Drop ceilings are created using temporary materials like plastic and sheeting. These trap the debris instead of letting it get into vents and overhead systems. 

2. Temporary Walls

The most obvious interior construction protection is generally the installation of temporary walls. Some areas may need only film and plastic to serve as a barrier against traveling particles and debris. However, some sections might need a more solid surface, such as plywood. Why? This stronger barrier prevents larger debris from flying out toward the unprotected public and staff. It also serves as a stronger deterrent to keep people out of hazardous construction zones. 

3. Cleaning

A vigorous cleaning process complements the use of physical protection. While some cleaning measures may be simple — such as the consistent use of brooms, hand brooms, and vacuums — other measures may be more technical. HEPA filtration vacuums, for instance, keep material from circulating in the air even in tiny amounts that may still cause injury to staff or damage to equipment. 

4. Customized Installations

Finally, work with your renovation contractor to determine if there are any special protection needs in your project. An open two-story area such as a stairwell or loft may call for additional debris-collection measures like safety netting. And if your facility has any special clean rooms, these might also benefit from an additional layer of physical protection and customized cleaning protocols. 

Are you ready to get started preparing your facility to protect employees and customers during construction? If so, begin by meeting with a professional who specializes in interior construction protection. They will help you assess your structure and your business needs to determine how to deploy these four measures against the mess of construction work.
