Shrink Wrap Doors

Also known as zipped access doors and zipper doors, shrink wrap doors create access points through scaffold sheeting, improving the efficiency and productivity of construction and industrial workspaces.

Shrink wrapping is typically used to secure scaffolding and building developments. While this offers protection, it can make site access problematic for both workers and equipment. Complete seals make access impossible, and breaking the shrink wrap to gain access means it no longer offers complete protection.

A shrink wrap door is the solution. Installation involves sewing a heavy-duty zip into a rectangle of polythene. Once your shrink wrap sheeting has been fully installed around your scaffolding or building, the door is then taped into position. The process is completed by by unzipping the door and removing the shrink wrap behind for an opening that can be zipped or unzipped as necessary to provide access whenever you need it.
