Zipper Doors are the most commonly used method to access a worksite during dust and debris containment. While they are easy and inexpensive to install, they are limited to temporary use. A quick solution when needed, the size is usually custom to accommodate machinery, vehicles like lifts, or people.
Since 1999, TuffWrap Installations has been transforming the dust and debris containment industry with its market-leading interior protection solutions. The purpose of TuffWrap products and services has been to protect a company—their employees and their inventory—from contamination, dust, and debris. Since that time, TuffWrap has continued to lead the industry by inventing new products and services that not only contain debris but also solve other issues like foul weather and facility shutdowns. TuffWrap services have expanded to include suspended cover, interior walls, and exterior walls. With our engineered products like SmartSeam suspended cover, we minimize liability exposure. Through code compliance and FM certification, a facility manager can be confident that employees and products are safe and operations are at maximum productivity.
TuffWrap focuses on the customer and meeting their needs. TuffWrap enables customers to avoid a complete shutdown of operation during construction. As companies run multiple shifts and even 24/7 production lines, the ability to minimize downtime is vitally important. The TuffWrap Project Team customizes its approach and creates solutions to address the specific requirements of each assignment. Experienced and knowledgeable about our industry and products, they solve issues that arise during construction projects. Safety, reliability, and best practices make the difference when it comes to protecting our clients' people, products, and property.
TuffWrap products enable a company's operations to stay functional during ongoing construction or renovation work. All TuffWrap materials are anti-static, antimicrobial, and fire-resistant. This makes TuffWrap products suitable for highly sensitive areas like data centers where anti-static properties are vitally important. While appropriate for many environments, the products' antimicrobial properties are important in the food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries. In addition, TuffWrap's patented Smart Seam suspended cover is 100% code compliant for installation below fire sprinklers. In case of a fire, SmartSeam keeps fire sprinklers operational. Engineered to be flexible and durable TuffWrap products can be customized to handle any application. TuffWrap protects people, products, and property while safely keeping facilities operational.

HYBRID WALLS AND INDUSTRIAL HYBRID WALLS
Two types of Hybrid Walls Provide Stability and Resilience in High Traffic Areas
Hybrid Walls and Industrial Hybrid Walls are two types of hybrid dust walls that provide stability and resilience in high-traffic areas. Hybrid Walls are cost-effective and durable. In addition, they help maintain a professional appearance during construction and protect inventory in the warehouse and retail settings. Hybrid Walls combine a C.O.R.E. Frameless Wall with TuffWrap's rigid TuffPanel® and with or without a pre-manufactured metal brace. Hybrid Walls are modular in design for clean, easy installation.
Standard Hybrid Walls have a four-foot high TuffPanel® base attached to the wall to protect against scuffs and punctures. TuffPanel® is designed for dust and debris containment applications requiring more rigidity and for areas with a large volume of personnel and equipment traffic. Industrial Hybrid Walls provide even greater strength and rigidity than the standard Hybrid Wall that uses TuffPanel®. A combination of C.O.R.E. Frameless Walls and fire-resistant plywood, reinforced with eight-foot plywood sheets to accommodate areas with heavy foot or vehicle traffic.
TuffWrap Total Enclosures provide protection when conventional dust and debris containment methods do not work.
Total Enclosures, an enclosed workspace created by combining suspended cover and frameless walls, provides a complete seal for the affected area, providing 100% protection from dust migration. It is effective in industries where contamination, delays, and closures are a concern or facilities that provide critical products and services must remain operational during construction.
Benefits of using a Total Enclosure Solution include:
Installed around the entire facility.
Completely sealed around all penetrations.
Antimicrobial, anti-static, and flame-resistant reinforced polyethylene.
Code-compliant SmartSeam® Suspended Cover combined with versatile C.O.R.E. Frameless Walls.
Innovative solutions like total enclosures and tunnels provide protection, keeping operations running safely during construction.
Applications:
Protecting food, beverage and pharmaceutical products from potential recall due to contamination.
Allowing personnel to continue work unimpeded.
Protecting sensitive machinery and electronics from damage.
Creating sealed walkways during floor resurfacing or drain replacement.
Construction Doors enable crew and vehicles to move in and out of the worksite efficiently.
TuffWrap offers customizations to temporary interior walls with construction doors. Providing access points when installing dust and debris containment can be almost as important as the temporary walls themselves. From versatile zipper doors to sliding pocket doors or man doors, we've got the solution to allow facilities to operate during construction or repairs.
Benefits of Construction Door Customizations include:
Scalable to a multitude of sizes.
Designed to allow access without hindering protection.
Quick and efficient for crews and vehicles.

A Pocket Door™ is a specialty door customizable to accommodate all types of access. Created specifically to meet your facility's requirements and assembled to slide easily out of the way and back into place, it complements any TuffWrap temporary wall. The Pocket Door has a customizable size range perfect for equipment and people for frequent or long-term use.
Zipper Doors are the most commonly used method to access a worksite during dust and debris containment. While they are easy and inexpensive to install, they are limited to temporary use. A quick solution when needed, the size is usually custom to accommodate machinery, vehicles like lifts, or people.
Man Doors are an option if the containment involves an area in the building that requires a locking door. Many facilities have security requirements for proprietary or employee-only access reasons. They provide easy access for people while allowing for greater security during the construction project.
Exterior Walls
Exterior Walls extend the construction season and reduce downtime due to weather. TuffWrap® EXT temporary exterior walls are a 7-ply, double scrim reinforced polyethylene that effectively protects Exterior Enclosures without scaffolding.

TUFFWRAP® EXT EXTENDS THE CONSTRUCTION SEASON AND REDUCES WEATHER DOWNTIME
Save time and money by reducing downtime between the phases of construction and eliminating weather interruptions — without the need for scaffolding. TuffWrap® EXT can withstand steady wind of up to 30 miles per hour and brief gusts of up to 45 miles per hour. It protects work crews with a safe interior work environment against harsh weather with a weather-resistant enclosure. The seven-layer polyethylene material provides the highest puncture resistance and tear strength for an exterior wall. If an accidental puncture occurs, the diagonal and perpendicular scrim orientation resists tearing and continues to provide protection.
Covering large openings and spans, Exterior Protection requires specialized installation. Each TuffWrap® EXT job is custom engineered to fit the project requirements. Custom mounting hardware, designed and manufactured by TuffWrap, allows EXT to be installed almost anywhere, even for projects above 50 feet high. EXT, an engineered seven-ply polyethylene, is flame and UV-resistant. Its innovative diagonal and perpendicular scrim design and antimicrobial properties protecting against mold, mildew, and bacterial growth make EXT the right choice to keep your projects on schedule and protected from foul weather.
