Surface Protection Films
At Southgate we can offer you tough plastic low-tac surface protection films that come in various thicknesses and colours and with a varying degree of adhesion to suit any specific application. We have a standard range of products ex-stock and can order to suit your needs.
Reliable Surface Protection Films
We supply high-performance surface protection films designed to safeguard smooth surfaces such as glass, laminate, metal, and uPVC throughout construction, renovation, and transportation. Each film combines a durable plastic base with a carefully balanced low-tack adhesive, providing effective protection against scratches, dust, paint splatters, and accidental damage without leaving residue behind.
Our surface protection film range is available in multiple thicknesses, colours, and adhesive strengths to suit the exact surface and environment. From factory applications to on-site installation, these films offer a simple, reliable way to keep materials pristine and ready for handover. Installation is quick and requires no specialist tools, making it a preferred choice across commercial, industrial, and domestic projects.
Protecting surfaces early prevents costly rework and maintains a professional finish. Whether you’re shielding new glass panels, freshly laid flooring, or polished aluminium frames, Southgate’s surface protection films ensure every product reaches completion in perfect condition. As one of the UK’s most established suppliers of temporary surface protection, we provide proven solutions trusted across construction, fit-out, and manufacturing sectors.
Protective Film for Wood Surfaces
Wooden finishes such as floors, panels, and furniture demand particular care during installation and finishing stages. Our protective film for wood surfaces provides a temporary shield against dust, paint splatters, and minor abrasions that can occur during decorating or on-site movement.
Engineered with a gentle adhesive backing, these films adhere securely to polished or sealed timber without affecting the natural finish. Once removed, the surface remains clean, smooth, and ready for presentation.
Suitable for hardwood floors, veneered panels, cabinetry, and joinery, Southgate’s wood protection films are ideal for both residential and commercial interiors where quality and appearance are paramount. By applying protection early in the build or refurbishment process, you can safeguard costly finishes and prevent the expense of repair or replacement later on.
Multi-surface protection films Protect
Glass Protection Film
Glass surfaces are highly susceptible to scratches, dirt, and accidental damage, especially on busy construction sites. Applying a protective film ensures glass remains pristine from the factory to installation. Whether used for windows, partitions, or glass doors, this temporary yet effective solution saves on costly cleanup and reduces the risk of damage before handover. Easy to apply and remove without leaving residue, glass protection films provide peace of mind during every stage of the project.
Worktop Protection Film
Worktops endure heavy use and can easily be scratched, chipped, or stained before a project reaches completion. A multi surface protection film acts as a barrier against dust, paint, and accidental spills, keeping worktops in perfect condition until the final reveal. Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial counters, these films are available in various adhesive strengths to suit different surface finishes, from polished stone to laminate.
Sanitary Ware Protection Film
Bathrooms and kitchens often feature high-value sanitary ware, including sinks, bathtubs, and toilets, which can be vulnerable to accidental damage before final installation. A specially formulated protection film shields against scratches, dust, and paint splatters, ensuring fixtures remain flawless. With easy application and residue-free removal, these films help prevent costly replacements and keep projects on track.
Polished Aluminium Protection Film
Polished aluminium is a stunning yet delicate material, prone to scratches and scuffs during handling, transportation, and installation. A tailored surface protection film preserves its smooth, reflective surface, preventing unsightly marks that could compromise its sleek aesthetic. Available in multiple thicknesses, these multi-surface protection films ensure aluminium stays in showroom condition until the final handover.
Stainless Steel Protection Film
Stainless steel is widely used in modern construction, from appliances to architectural features, but it is susceptible to fingerprints, scratches, and dust accumulation. A multi-surface protection film keeps stainless steel surfaces looking immaculate, shielding them from potential damage during transit and installation. Whether for elevators, handrails, or kitchen fittings, these films provide durable, temporary protection without affecting the material’s finish.
