The strength and resilience of the Floor ProBoard mean that decorators can rely on it to protect surfaces from paint, spills, and abrasions without needing multiple layers or frequent replacements.

By choosing products like the Floor ProBoard, decorators not only protect their workspaces but also reduce their environmental impact. This product saves both material and preparation time, enabling professionals to deliver quality work with fewer resources.

Q1® Hand Masker: Efficient Masking in a single step

The Q1® Hand Masker is a valuable tool that combines masking tape with protective film or paper in a single, effortless step. It adapts to a wide range of surfaces, from walls and ceilings to trim and windows, making it versatile for various decorating needs. This tool not only saves time but also reduces waste by providing precise coverage with minimal material use. Its ease of application enables decorators to achieve clean, professional results quickly, aligning with our commitment to operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Contractor Tape: Secure masking with less waste

For projects that demand a strong, reliable hold on larger areas, our contractor tape deliver with minimal overlap and wastage. This tape provides excellent adhesion for securing masking sheets, protecting edges, and covering wide surfaces, all while ensuring a tight seal.  The strong adhesive formula reduces the need for reapplications, making them ideal for professionals focused on waste minimisation.

By offering a secure yet flexible solution for holding masking materials in place, contractor tape eliminates the need for additional tape layers or fasteners, further reducing the total material used per project. This efficient, targeted use of resources aligns with the broader goal of reducing environmental impact in professional decorating.
