Dust containment during construction refers to methods that minimize the spread of dust particles that construction activities create. Contractors use various solutions such as poles, plastic sheeting, and zippers to help contain dust in a workspace. This prep work and discipline helps create a cleaner, safer work environment and protect sensitive areas from dust contamination.
Don’t use plastic sheeting throughout the entire construction site. Instead, focus on enclosing the specific work area where dust will be created. This minimizes the material needed, simplifies set up, and saves time.
Some contractors just slice open the plastic sheeting to create an entryway. This defeats the purpose of a dust containment system. The plastic cannot close, and this increases the risk of dust particles spreading throughout the entire jobsite.
We recommend utilizing a zipper system to create an instant dust containment doorway. A zipper door stays closed until you are ready to enter or exit, keeping dust contained.
When it comes to construction projects, time is money. Every minute spent on setting up dust containment measures counts. To help make set-up more effective, pre-cut your plastic sheeting based to size before setting up your containment area.
Additionally, keep a supply of high-quality tapes and adhesives specifically designed for dust containment on hand. These products adhere quickly and securely to various surfaces, ensuring a tight seal without the need for extensive application time.
Post-job clean-up does not always receive the attention it deserves. If clean-up is overlooked, it can lead to lingering dust and debris. This can pose health risks and create an unprofessional appearance.
Dust containment systems can prevent the spread of most dust. However, it is not fool proof. Be prepared to wipe down surfaces post-job to ensure customer satisfaction.

"On this job we used Trimaco's Stay Put Surface Protector and Stay Put drop cloths to protect a new tile floor we installed while doing final paint touch ups and hardware on this bathroom. Tile can be slippery and these keep you and your floor safe!" @PinePointPM
