Why you should protect and mask

Using masking tape and other protective materials, such as protective paper, protective film, and protective cloths, when painting and renovating is important for several reasons:

Precision work

Masking tape helps to create clean and precise lines between different surfaces. It ensures that the paint only ends up where it should, giving a professional and polished look to your painting job.

Prevents paint splashes

By protecting flooring or surrounding furnishings that may not be possible to move during painting, you avoid the risk of paint being splashed on them. We all know how easily paint splashes from a roller or drips from a brush.

Protective paper and blankets can be used to cover larger areas, floors, and furniture. Not only does this prevent accidental paint splashes, but it also makes cleaning easier. It helps to keep the work area neat and organised.

Saves time

Proper masking and covering can save time both during the painting process and during cleaning. Proper protection and masking minimise the need for time-consuming extra work, and you won’t need to remove unwanted paint from surfaces.
