Temporary Glass Protection at 2 Trafalgar Way, London

Project Overview

At 2 Trafalgar Way, one of London’s largest student accommodation developments, over 20,000m² of internal and external glazing required protection across multiple high-rise blocks. With such extensive glass installations, maintaining a pristine finish throughout construction was critical to successful project delivery.

The Challenge

Construction activity posed a significant risk to the glass surfaces, with exposure to paint, dust, debris, and potential scratches. Traditional protection methods can be time-consuming to install, unreliable over long durations, and costly when damage occurs—often leading to expensive replacements or intensive cleaning before handover.

The Solution - Temporary Glass Protection

Protectapeel spray on temporary glass protection was applied directly to all glazing, forming a durable, peelable barrier that safeguarded surfaces throughout the build process. Its ease of application made it ideal for large-scale coverage across multiple elevations.

The Result

• 20,000m² of glass fully protected across the development

• Prevention of costly damage from site activity

• Reduced cleaning and replacement costs

• Time savings during both application and final preparation

   

Once construction was complete, the coating was simply peeled away, revealing perfectly clean, scratch-free glass, ready for immediate handover.
