How to protect surfaces efficiently

Professional painters know that a perfect finish doesn’t just require skill – it also requires the right products for protecting surfaces, such as masking tape, plastic sheets and cardboard. Here are some pro tips for protecting surfaces before painting.

• If you are renovating and removing loose particles, protecting the floor is essential. Make sure you have a thick enough layer to protect the floor, if something drops. Cardboard is best for this purpose.
• Sanding is messy. Even if you use a sanding machine with a connected vacuum, dust will fly, so it is very important to protect everything in the room. As drywall dust is hard to get rid of afterwards, be sure to also seal the room by hanging a plastic sheet at the door frame and securing it with duct tape.
• Using a paint sprayer requires much more protection, but also makes the painting faster. With any airless sprayer, a certain amount of over spray is expected, so it is always good to protect a little bit more than you think is needed.

• Always use quality tapes from established brands. High-quality tapes designed for professional use stick instantly to most surfaces, stay in place and remove easily to create sharp paint lines. One-piece removal without residue makes cleanup easy and efficient. Don't save money here, quality tape is worth the investment – trust us.
• Go for time-saving options, when possible. Big brands often have self-adhesive plastic sheets with tape included, which work well on standard indoor sites. If a high-quality self-adhesive option is available, go for it.

• Protecting surfaces is a time-consuming work phase, but don't cut corners. Paying close attention to detail makes cleanup much easier and will save you time at the end.
• Use high-quality tape for the best result. Good adhesion, easy removal without residue and sharp lines are essential for an efficient paint job.
