If you are in the real estate or contracting business and you spend time renovating homes regularly – you probably know how much damage the renovation work can cause to the surrounding areas. One part of the house that is particularly prone to damages is the elevator, so professional contractors take care to set up protection for the elevator during the renovation process. But not all protection is worth your time.
Why protect?
You may be wondering why you need elevator protection at all. The simplest reason is that the elevator is the interior of the building. Almost everyone who moves in, and even just sees an apartment, will have to go through the elevator, and you can be sure that it will leave an impression on them. If the elevator is dirty, scratched or damaged, visitors or customers may think that the building is neglected, and that the apartment thet are there to see, no matter how impressive, is not worth their money. Elevator protection allows maintenance of the elevator and preserves the good impression of visitors.
How to protect?
It is important to make sure that there is a protective cover for your elevator, but it is also important to make sure of its quality. If continuous renovation, or reconstruction of a particular building is expected, it is advisable to purchase a rigid plastic protective sheet, which will keep the elevator looking great for a long time.
The plastic should be durable and strong on the one hand, but easy and convenient to install on the other, so as not to interfere with the proper functioning of the elevator. In addition, and not many people know this, if a protective cover is installed for a long time, the cover must meet the fire standard of the Israel Standards Institute. And no less important – the coverage must look good, for the sake of the current occupants of the building.
