Façade Protection Guarantee
PROTECTING YOUR FACADE — AND YOUR POSITION — THROUGH TO HANDOVER.
ShieldIt provides documented façade protection systems designed to reduce defects, support warranty compliance, and eliminate disputes at project completion.
THE PROBLEM
WHY FACADE PROTECTION BECOMES A LIABILITY.
On commercial projects, façade damage rarely comes from one event — it happens over time.
-
Multiple trades working in close proximity
-
Extended exposure during construction
-
Limited access at handover
-
No clear record of when damage occurred
This creates uncertainty around:
-
Responsibility
-
Warranty claims
-
Defect costs
THE GUARANTEE
THE SHIELDIT GUARANTEE
ShieldIt doesn’t just install protection — we manage façade risk.
Our guarantee is built on three components:
1
Documented Condition at Installation
We record façade condition at the time protection is installed. This establishes a clear baseline — reducing disputes later in the project.
2
System Selection & Warranty Alignment
Protection systems are selected and applied in accordance with manufacturer guidance.
This ensures:
-
No adverse interaction with coatings or finishes
-
Protection remains removable
-
Warranty conditions are maintained
3
Managed Protection Through Construction
Protection is not left unmanaged.
We support:
-
Monitoring during construction
-
Adjustments as works progress
-
Controlled removal at completion
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR PROJECT
FOR BUILDERS
-
Fewer defect at handover
-
Clear allocation of responsibility across trades
-
Reduce exposure to back charges and disputes
FOR GLAZING CONTRACTORS
-
Protection aligned with warranty requirements
-
Reduced risk of coating damage or claims
-
Confidence in long-duration exposure
FOR PROJECT TEAMS
-
Controlled façade condition through programme
-
Fewer delays by rework
-
Clean, defensible handover position
-
These issues rarely come from one event — they accumulate over the life of the project.
RISK EXAMPLES
Common façade risks include:
-
Grinder sparks
-
Mortar and plaster contamination
-
Paint overspray
-
Scaffold strikes
-
Improper cleaning or handling
Without documentation, responsibility becomes unclear.
ShieldIt ensures these risks are managed, recorded, and controlled.
Avoid the argument at handover.
Without clear documentation and managed protection, façade damage becomes a liability discussion — not a construction issue.
