It is important that a building site or a construction project uses temporary protection materials as they help to protect surfaces and equipment from being damaged.

Ranging from protecting floors and stairs to walls and windows, there are multiple types of temporary protection materials to choose from. These products are made from various materials, including many that are recyclable.

Considering sustainable practises is crucial in the construction industry today, and using recycled materials has many benefits, including cost reductions.

This guide from Beck explores the benefits of temporary protection materials and highlights the products that can be used here.
