Benefits of Shrink Wrapping
- Shrink wrapping protects boats from rain, snow, wind, UV rays, and other weather hazards.
- Seals tightly compared to tarps, preventing moisture and contaminants from entering.
- Professionally installed thick wrap prevents water pooling inside and road salt damage during transportation.
Usage of Shrink Wrap in Construction
- Buildings are wrapped to contain construction debris and dust.
- It provides a weather barrier, protecting structures from bulk water and wind.
- Allows construction projects to continue despite adverse weather conditions.
Considerations for Shrink Wrapping
- Shrink wrap traps moisture, leading to mold and mildew in boat interiors.
- Adding ventilation can mitigate this issue.
- Quality wrap lasts 6 months to 2 years, with sun exposure accelerating degradation.
- Storing wrapped boats in shade can prolong the lifespan of the wrap.
- The thickness of the wrap, such as 7-mil, is suitable for areas with snow load.
- Despite its protective qualities, shrink wrapping is costly and restricts boat access. Proper installation is crucial.
