ZipFast Opaque Panels Offer Privacy and Protection

Remodeling: Expanding its collection of dust containment products, ZipWall is introducing ZipFast Reusable Barrier Panels. Unlike clear plastic sheeting, ZipFast panels are made of opaque nylon that allows users to contain dust in construction areas while also hiding unfinished spaces from view.

This is a super useful investment for people going through renovations. A few years back, my family went through a huge renovation, and it was pretty awful. Not only were we without a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a living room for 2 months, but we also had zero privacy and the house was filthy, even in areas that the construction workers weren't occupying. A renovation is sort of like having a baby. It is awful while you are going through it, but it is all worth it once you have the final product. ZipFast seems like something that would make this process a lot more enjoyable for families who live through renovations, and it is something I wish was around when my family went through ours. I would be interested to see this more in action to see how opaque it actually is, and how it is installed.

First I think they hit the nail on the head and improved traditional plastic sheeting. Think it is great. I am quite curious to know just how washable they are and what that process looks like but it is very cool. The article also mentioned the use in hospitals which is impressive that this product can be used to help set up temporary work areas for hospitals.

Second I went to there website and investigated a little more and thought there pole design was ingenious. Just taking a spring loaded pole to help hold up the sheeting was a great alternative to hanging sheeting. Seems like it would go up very quickly and efficiently, which saves time and money. I was also thinking just depending on what the need of draping is in the studio 201 is these poles could be a solution. Easy and quick is the name of the game.
