Façade Protection Systems & Methodology
PROVEN PROTECTION SYSTEM — SELECTED, APPLIED AND MANAGED TO CONTROL FACADE RISK ACROSS LIVE CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTS
When Protection Becomes Critical
A structural wall was required just 1.5 metres from an existing ACM façade.
With a concrete pour scheduled and council sign-off complete, the risk to the façade was immediate and high.
A proven protection system — correctly applied and managed — was required to prevent permanent damage.
What this required:
-
Full façade protection system installation
-
Protection of glass and aluminium surfaces
-
Control of concrete exposure during pour
-
Managed removal post-works
System-Based Protection — Not Just Products
ShieldIt applies structured protection systems across:
-
Glass façades
-
Powder-coated aluminium
-
Finished external surfaces
System selection is based on:
-
Exposure duration
-
Surface compatibility
-
Site conditions
-
Access and sequencing
Protection is not selected off a shelf — it is selected to match the project risk.
GOOP Façade Protection System
A liquid-applied protection system designed for complex façade environments where traditional materials fail.
Key Benefits:
-
Conforms to irregular and detailed surfaces
-
Suitable for extended exposure periods
-
Removes cleanly when applied correctly
-
Reduces risk of residue, bonding, and coating damage
Protection is not selected off a shelf — it is selected to match the project risk.
Incorrect Protection Creates More Risk Than No Protection
Wrong systems can:
-
Bond to coatings
-
Leave permanent residue
-
React with façade finishes
-
Void manufacturer warranties
These issues often only become visible at handover — when access is limited and costs are highest.
THE SHIELDIT METHODOLOGY
ShieldIt doesn’t just install protection — we manage façade risk.
This includes surface-specific planning for sensitive materials such as Low-E glass and anodised aluminium, where incorrect protection can cause permanent damage.
Our system is built on five components:
1
Assessment
-
Façade materials and finishes
-
Exposure conditions
-
Programme duration
-
Access constraints
2
System Selection
-
Compatibility with substrates
-
Duration suitability
-
Warranty alignment
3
Installation & Documentation
-
Controlled system application
-
Condition recorded at install
4
Monitoring
-
Ongoing inspection
-
Adjustments as works progress
5
Removal & Verification
-
Controlled removal
-
Final condition confirmation
Protection is not left unmanaged — it is controlled throughout the project lifecycle.
What This Delivers
-
Reduced façade defects
-
Maintained warranty compliance
-
Controlled surface condition
-
Clean, dispute-free handover
