Re: My Big Fat Renovation

For dust control, I use 3rd Hand poles and plastic.
Have you ever heard of Zipwalls? When I became self-employed, one of the first things I did was purchase dust control items. The 3rd Hand poles re half the price of Zipwall brand, and having used both, I like the 3rd Hand brand better. Easy to install and using Zipwall brand door zippers (they are self adhesive and install on a taut section of 4mil plastic), you can have easy access to the room.

There is a video on the amazon page in the link.

The thickness of plastic you use depends on the application and length of time it's up. Use of .5mil painters plastic(like the video) is fine for short term. I use 4mil for use with the zipper door on longer term jobs.
