CG2 “Orange” Non-FR Cover Guard® Protective Solution for Saltaire Luxury Condo Complex

This project showcases the application of Cover Guard®’s CG2 “Orange” formulation, a cost-effective temporary surface protection system that offers similar qualities to their flagship product, the CG “Blue.” The CG2 series provides all the features and benefits of the CG “Blue” without the flame retardant (FR) chemical ingredient. It is designed to protect various surfaces such as hardwood floors, tile, marble, granite, terrazzo, slate, concrete, stained concrete, epoxy finishes, paint, glass, metal, and countertops where flame retardancy is not required.

Saltaire, a 35-story luxury condo complex located in downtown St. Petersburg, FL, faced the need to protect a total of 350,000 square feet of surfaces. To achieve this, Cover Guard®’s CG2 1036DP, a 10 Mil Non-FR cover guard, was used to cover all porcelain tile floors in both the units and common areas across all 35 floors. Additionally, in cases where Masonite was utilized as impact protection for long-term coverage, Cover Guard® was employed as an “underlayment” to prevent scratching or marring of the porcelain tile finish caused by the Masonite.

The use of CG2 “Orange” Non-FR Cover Guard® proved to be an ideal solution for the Saltaire luxury condo complex, providing efficient and reliable protection for a wide range of surfaces without compromising on quality or performance.

Meet your new cover guard® representative

Nicole Foster

Sales & Business Development – Western Region

We at the cover guard® Protective Materials Division of Bainbridge International are pleased to announce the hiring of Nicole Foster as our Sales & Business Development Representative for the Western Region. This region includes Nicole’s home state of California as well as Arizona, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Utah.

Nicole’s experience, to include that as a field representative in the construction supply industry, will certainly be an asset as she works to drive additional business with our existing distribution partners while also focusing on new account acquisition where distribution of cover guard® temporary surface protection products lacks distribution and presents opportunity.

Introducing New Flame Retardant Seam Tape

We at the cover guard® Protective Materials Division of Bainbridge International are introducing a New Polyethylene Flame Retardant Seam Tape to complement our polyethylene Temporary Surface Protection product line. After field testing, research, and positive feedback we are confident this product will meet or exceed the needs of the markets we serve and do so while being more cost-efficient than our current cloth coated duct tape. 

As a matter of general information and to convey confidence in this new Seam Tape product we are attaching our Data Sheet for the Polyethylene “Flame Retardant” Seam Tape which will carry the Part Number of CGTP03FRBU.
