PROTECTAPEEL COST COMPARISON
SAVE TIME & MONEY WITH PROTECTAPEEL PEELABLE COATINGS
Protective film and protective board are considered the cheaper options for surface protection. But is this really the case?
​We decided to look into this theory, we compared the cost of protecting 5,000m² of glass with protective film, protective board and Protectapeel peelable coating. We have been objective, and had the calculations independently reviewed by experts in the industry.

Surface Protection Comparison
Traditional protective films and boards can be time-consuming to apply, often requiring measuring, cutting, and securing with adhesives or pins—taking up to 4 minutes per m². Over time, these materials may lose adhesion or allow dust and debris to collect behind them, leading to additional cleaning, repairs, and potential project delays.
​
In contrast, Protectapeel can be applied in just 49 seconds per m² using an airless spray gun. It delivers up to 12 months of airtight, durable protection that stays in place throughout the project. When removed, it takes dust and dirt with it, leaving surfaces clean, damage-free, and ready for handover.
Reduce Labour Time
Protectapeel is FIVE times quicker per m² to apply than board.
Protectapeel is TWICE as quick
per m² to apply than film.
Reduce Damage Costs
Protectapeel protects surfaces for up to 12 months internally and externally with no adhesion loss. Using Protectapeel saves damage costs of £62k over film!
