Request ConsultationQuick Construction Hack: Using Water and 0.31 Mil Plastic Sheeting to Protect Your Walls

Hello HoneyB Family! Today, we're bringing you a handy tip from our construction toolkit that not only makes work easier but also protects your home during the construction process. Yes, we're talking about a simple trick using water and 0.31 mil plastic sheeting to prevent concrete splatter on walls.
The Why and How
During construction or renovation projects, concrete splatter can often cause unwanted stains on your beautiful walls. And let's be honest, nobody wants to deal with stubborn concrete spots post-construction. Here's where our quick and easy trick comes into play.
Our method involves spraying the exterior wall with water and sticking 0.31 mil plastic sheeting onto it. But why does this work?
Well, water is a powerful adhesive when it comes to lightweight, porous materials like plastic sheeting. When you spray a wall with water, the water molecules form a thin layer between the wall and the plastic. The plastic sheeting, when applied, clings to the water, creating a temporary seal because of the surface tension of the water.

The Benefits
This method comes with a host of benefits:
- Protection Against Concrete Splatter: The plastic sheeting acts as a barrier, protecting your walls from any concrete splatter during the construction process. It catches the splatter, preventing it from staining your walls.
- Easy Application and Removal: The plastic sheeting sticks easily to the wet wall and can be removed just as simply, without leaving any adhesive residue or causing any damage.
- Cost-Effective: Plastic sheeting and water are both inexpensive, making this a cost-effective solution. It reduces the amount of post-construction clean-up and the costs associated with it.
- Versatile: This method can be used on a variety of surfaces and in various construction situations where protection from splatter or spills is necessary.
