Healthcare · ICRA renovations
Infection control doesn’t allow gaps. Neither does a seamless coat.
Occupied hospital and facility renovations have to contain construction dust and contaminants — regardless of cost. First Layer sprays Peeltex into one continuous, sealed barrier over the surfaces you’re protecting, then peels it off clean at handover.
Renovate an occupied building without letting the dust out.
Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) is mandated across healthcare construction. When a wing gets upgraded while patients are down the hall, every containment gap is a compliance and safety risk — and the finished surfaces you’re keeping still have to be protected from the work.
Containment isn’t optional
Dust and debris from construction can’t reach occupied space. Protection is a required line item, not a cost-saving trade-off.
Taped board has seams
Porous board seams and lifting tape trap debris and can’t truly seal a floor or surface — exactly what infection control can’t allow.
Finishes stay in place
Floors, cabinets and casework often stay through the reno. They need a barrier that protects them and peels away without residue.
One seamless barrier. Everything sealed. Nothing left behind.
We spray Peeltex into a continuous, zero-residue film that encapsulates the surfaces staying in the space — sealing them off from the work and peeling away clean when the job is done.
Sealed, seamless
Terrazzo, tile, LVT and concrete protected end-to-end — no taped seams, no trip lip.
Encapsulated
Existing medical cabinets and countertops wrapped so no dust settles inside or on the finish.
Coated & peelable
Finished walls, frames and doors shielded from scuffs, overspray and debris.
Kept clean
Cabs, buttons and fixtures protected while equipment and materials move through.
A continuous seal board can’t match.
Board is laid in strips and taped. Peeltex goes down as one bonded film — no seams to trap debris, no edges to trip on — then lifts off in a single sheet, residue-free.

Four steps, built for an occupied building.
Assess & document
We survey and document existing conditions, then lay a free test panel on your actual substrate to prove clean adhesion and removal.
Spray
Peeltex is applied as a continuous film over floors, casework and finishes — low-VOC*, minimal disruption to the space.
Protect
The sealed barrier holds through every trade and every phase of the renovation.
Peel & hand over
At completion it peels off in one sheet, residue-free — the protected surface revealed untouched.
Built for occupied, regulated spaces
What facilities teams ask.
Does it support our ICRA containment plan?
Will it damage finished floors, terrazzo or casework?
Can you protect surfaces that stay in place during the reno?
Does it leave residue when removed?
Is it low-odor and low-VOC for occupied spaces?
