Dust control and protection on a decorating site

Sanding is where a job either stays clean or spreads through the whole building. Extraction and containment are the difference between a tidy programme and weeks of complaints.

Dust control and protection — Dynamic Decorating

Extracted sanding

Dust-extracted sanders capture the majority of fine dust at source. It's slower to set up and dramatically faster to clear down.

Containment at zone boundaries

Doorway screens and taped edges keep dust in the work area. On healthcare and food-related sites this is a requirement rather than a courtesy.

Floor and fixture protection

Breathable floor protection, corner guards on tight routes and covers over anything that stays in place. Removing protection each evening in occupied buildings keeps the space usable.

Waste and materials handling

Tins, liners and waste are removed rather than accumulated on site, and wet materials are stored safely away from occupants.

Common questions

Is dust-free sanding really dust free?

Not literally, but extraction removes the great majority of airborne dust.

Do you protect floors?

Yes, all floors and fixed items in the working area are covered before preparation starts.

Can you work in a food or clinical area?

Yes, with the containment and sequencing those environments require.

Who removes the waste?

We do — packaging and waste leave with us.
