Weatherproof Your Jobsite: 3 Strategies For Surface Protection During Autumn

The biggest threat to your construction site this fall?

The onslaught of rain, snow, ice, mud, and other debris that can wreak havoc on a finished space.

Tracked in on the boots of workers or blown in by the wind, these elements demand a proactive approach to surface protection to keep your work area clean and safe.

Here are our top three solutions to secure your construction site this fall:

1. Block snow, dirt, and grit at the door

Your walkways are your first-line defense zones against seasonal debris using the Armour Grip-Terra Mat.

This high-performance rubber mat allows water and dirt to pass through while ensuring a safe, clean path to your site.

Made with durable material, they are easy to clean and highly reusable, making them a great temporary solution for any pathway over rough terrain.

Need a solution to completely seal off a door? Then you need the Armour Premium Zipper Door Kit!

This essential kit includes a poly door with two sturdy zippers, a roll of double-sided tape to secure it all, and hooks to keep the doorway accessible when needed.

2. Ensure clean footwear inside the jobsite

Right at the doorstep, lay down the law against dirt with Armour Tak-Mat Pads. Perfect for entry points, these pads feature 30 peel-away layers that snag mud and grime from boots before they tread deeper into your jobsite.

It’s a straightforward fix to keep your site’s interiors and critical work areas spotless and safe from the tracked-in trouble of a busy construction day.

For an alternative way to keep your jobsite free from tracked-in dirt, try Buffalo Booties Boot Covers. These tough boot covers fit effortlessly over any work boot, sealing out dirt, dust, and moisture. Get superior traction and cleanliness with their non-skid performance—perfect for keeping your construction sites pristine.

3. Defend your finishes

Protecting your finishes is crucial, especially when dealing with the unpredictable elements of fall.

Using high-quality, durable and waterproof temporary surface protection is essential to prevent moisture and dirt from compromising your finished surfaces.

We advise against paper-based products that can weaken and fail under harsh weather conditions. Instead, choose from our waterproof and robust surface protection solutions to keep your site secure.
