For Winter Scaffold Systems and Enclosures, New Sheeting Serves as Protection from Fine Debris, Dust and Bad Weather

Fairfield, NJ (November, 2006) - Strong Man Building Products Corp., a market leader in weather and debris enclosures, introduces flame-retardant (FR) string-reinforced poly sheeting designed to protect scaffolds, personnel and equipment from inclement weather. The addition of the FR string-reinforced poly sheeting follows Strong Man's successful launch of its non-FR string-reinforced poly in 2005, allowing construction equipment purchasing professionals to select sheeting designed specifically for the application it will enclose, thus keeping job sites safe and productive during severe weather.

Strong Man's new FR string-reinforced poly is constructed to securely enclose scaffolds and buildings from inclement weather. It allows general contractors the use of forced-air generators within the sheeting's confines, greatly assisting scaffold and construction personnel who, with the benefits of the sheeting, can work in an atmosphere-controlled environment. Consequently, the quality of work will not be negatively affected, and the number of days a site closes due to weather-related hazards is reduced, thus allowing projects to finish earlier than expected.

The new FR string-reinforced poly employs a combination of high tensile strength and flexibility in severe temperatures to provide a protective barrier between the equipment and personnel inside an enclosure, as well as the pedestrians and adjacent properties surrounding it. The sheeting remains intact when cut, unlike other sheeting that unravels after trimming. It is also cost effective, due to its ability to remain functionally intact, even during extreme weather.
