Skudo: Your Go-To For Worksite Protection
“Skudo held up well! We had a couple of hydraulic leaks from one of the electric man lifts resulting in a puddle of oil on the floor overnight. Skudo kept the oil from penetrating through.”
- Project Manager, Neeser Construction
You go above and beyond to deliver excellent results efficiently and with little setbacks when it comes to your clients.
Taking pride in your work, you pay attention to all the delicate details of your project.
You succeed because you care about the work you’re doing.
And if you’re a homeowner, this applies to you too. You’re self-sufficient and getting the job done with your own two hands.
We know you’re wearing many hats and don’t have time for setbacks.
But there are two roadblocks that contractors and skilled workers on any home or commercial project understand
In the middle of a project, you’re working fast to hit deadlines, and there are many moving parts—literally. Two things often occur when you’re busy thinking about the main project goals.
THE PROBLEM
Damage: Construction materials, machinery, and foot traffic often damage the smooth, rich surfaces of many surfaces. Fixtures, floors, and walls can get scraped, chipped, stained, or dented, and the repair costs ultimately come from your pocket. And as you know, these surfaces can be very costly to repair.
Accidents: Contractors and workers are vulnerable to slippery surfaces when materials such as paper, plastic, or cardboard are used to protect floors instead of a stronger, more stable, protectant solution.
THE SOLUTION
You’ve got the problem. We’ve got the solution.
That is why we were thrilled to share one of our favorite brands with you this month, Skudo.
Skudo provides a revolutionary set of products for reliable temporary surface protection against construction site damage.
The products are durable and built to last.
Skudo makes products for all surface types so that they can match all of your project needs. Also, some of their products can be reused, saving your budget while helping the environment.
Additionally, a number one feature of Skudo products is being slip-resistant, ensuring a safe work environment for contractors and their teams who are moving fast.
Safety is one of their top priorities, so their products are also fire / flame retardant and anti-bacterial / anti-microbial, keeping your surfaces and workers safe.
Another great detail about Skudo is that their products easily adhere to the surface it’s protecting, so it stays tight in place. When you’re ready to remove it after completing your job, it will gently release, leaving no marks behind.
This brand is a trusted industry standard, working for some of the top construction companies, and their partnerships are continuously growing.
Check out their vast product inventory here. We’ve highlighted a few of our favorite products below:
Skudo’s self-adhesive Tack-Mats: This tack-mat is a fan favorite, and for good reason. These mats come in three levels of protection, Heavy Traffic (HT), High Impact (HI), and Light Traffic (LT), and offer excellent surface protection for almost every surface - laminate, hardwood, LVT, stainless steel, cabinets, countertops, even stone! To apply, you peel the back paper, and they stick to the surface you put them on. Stain-proof, strong, and works at any temperature, indoors and outside. It does its job so that you can get back to yours.
SkudoBoard CORNER GUARD: A heavy-duty, synthetic, rigid board designed to fit perfectly around sharp edges, such as corners, stair treads, and wall edges. It has the same compression strength as the SkudoBoard and is flame retardant and water-resistant. These are great for fitting into smaller spaces or shapes like staircases. And you guessed it; they are just as slip resistant. Proven to prevent dents and damage, these are your go-to for corner protection.
Carpet Cover: On a construction job, the last thing you want to do is slow down production because you’ve stained or torn the carpet and need to replace this. Or, pay more out-of-pocket expenses because the rug was dirtied from foot traffic. What we love about Skudo’s Carpet Cover is its top-of-the-line, commercial-grade carpet protection for construction, remodeling, or other building repurposing. The cover is easy to apply but stays tight for up to three months, protecting the carpet from foot traffic, machinery, and everything in between. Trust us. It won’t slow down your crew.
The Fiercest Protection Challenges: While some areas needing protection are easier to spot and save than others (like carpet or a floor), it’s best not to overlook all the details because chances are, if you do that, then you’ll notice areas when it’s too late, and the damage has been done. We think Skudo is a badass brand because they think of everything—and cover all the bases.
Glass, balustrades, curtain walls, panels, and windows risk damage on the job site if not adequately protected, but Skudo’s got you covered with items like their Skudo Glass Advanced. Glass Advanced is liquid that goes on the surface with a paint roller and then hardens. It can withstand cement and paint splatter for up to 12 months—tough stuff.
Plan to protect so you don’t have to pay later.
