Over the last two and a half decades TuffWrap Installations has completed approximately 15 thousand interior and exterior protection jobs and manufactured and installed approximately 375 million square feet of protection.
TuffWrap is Celebrating 25 Years of Protection on the Jobsite! It all started when TuffWrap's President and Founder Dave Campbell needed to solve a roofing contractor’s problem of keeping dust and debris from contaminating a workspace while roofers worked above.
The TuffWrap crew installed a temporary ceiling made from a sheet of polyethylene suspended below the roof deck to capture dust and debris that might drop from above during the reroofing project.
The temporary suspended ceiling below the rafters worked well. Dave’s ingenuity shaped the creation of TuffWrap’s signature Suspended Cover SmartSeam®.
The innovative approach that company Founder and President Dave Campbell used to create his first suspended cover system became the start of many more products born out of customers’ needs and TuffWrap innovations.
Among the TuffWrap's innovations are:

TuffWrap Installations’ innovative temporary construction barrier solutions have proven effective in guarding against dust, debris, and weather. TuffWrap’s methods for designing interior and exterior protection systems eliminate costly production shutdowns, minimize product recall risks, protect employees/customers, and prevent equipment and inventory damage.
TuffWrap kept a tire manufacturing facility up and running. TuffWrap EXT Walls were used to keep a facility’s production lines rolling during an expansion.
When a tire manufacturer decided to expand its production facility, it ran into a problem. The work involved demolishing one of the existing walls, which would produce dust and debris, While the area was being worked on, they needed a way to protect adjacent lines from contamination. Fortunately, their facility manager reached out to TuffWrap for assistance. The solution to their problem was a line of TuffWrap EXT Walls, TuffWrap’s signature exterior protection solution. The walls were used to create a protected space for the production lines while the wall was removed.
When the job was done, the manufacturing client was thrilled with TuffWrap’s solution to the problem. The temporary solution kept employees protected against dust and debris, and was durable enough to withstand daily vehicle traffic until the construction was completed.
TuffWrap installed the Smart Seam Suspended Cover System at a large supermarket chain during a Roofing Project.
Recently, a large supermarket in Louisiana required a new roof. A solution was needed so that the store could stay open throughout the reroofing project. The store needed to maintain a clean environment throughout construction while providing a safe and comfortable space for employees and customers.
The Supermarket’s Dust, Debris and Safety Challenges:
Installing a temporary suspended ceiling during reroofing activities protects people, products, and property.
TuffWrap SmartSeam® Suspended Cover dust and debris containment barrier enables reroofing and repair projects to continue overhead without costly production shutdowns, product recall risks, and endangering the people and products.
When tasked with a challenging roofing debris containment job, a large domed roof, TuffWrap provided temporary barrier protection that exceeded industry standards.
The Nation’s Leading Public University’s Iconic Dome roof renovation was a challenging and complex installation. The domed roof of Advanced Light Source (ALS) was replaced with a cool roof that reflects the sunlight into the atmosphere.
SmartSeam Suspended Cover panels (totaling 23,000 square feet) were cut to size to protect the dome from the inside. Extensive safety precautions protected workers and equipment, including closing the facility during the major project.
The entire interior of the dome, which dates back to 1940, was covered with plastic sheeting to collect lead-based paint debris that might have fallen or scraped off during the roofing work.
The TuffWrap SmartSeam® System is the only fully code-compliant temporary ceiling construction barrier and installation method approved for safe installation below fire sprinklers, eliminating dust and debris. Installing SmartSeam® gives companies confidence that the fire sprinklers remain fully operational in case of a fire during the reroofing project.
