According to industry data, 70% of windows and doors are damaged during construction and require repair before the home can be sold.

If you have ever walked a construction job, you have seen the windows and doors splattered with construction material and the staining and scratching that results from this practice. Naturally, the homeowner will focus on this and carefully examine the windows for damage to add to the punch list.

DoorShield-masking paint for doors is applied shortly after the door is installed.

Once the home is built and the final cleanup is scheduled, the protective coating is peeled away in one piece to form a bag enclosing all trash and debris, revealing a window and door in showroom condition!

DoorShield Protective Peelable coating for door glass, virtually abolishes repairs and reduces cleanup costs. Also, since all paint overspray is on the DoorShield coating, you eliminate the use of harsh flammable solvents to remove the overspray.

UV Exposure Study: The two sets of pictures represent the equivalent to 6 months and 12 months exposure to UV light using a controlled irradiance water cooled XENON ARC apparatus and run to SAE J1960 ACCELERATED EXPOSURE OF AUTOMOTIVE EXTERIOR MATERIALS.

Three sets of coatings were tested:
1) DoorShield - as is (on the left)
2) DoorShield- with UV adds (middle)
3) competitor's product (on the right)

OVERALL all sets exposed quite well and the test resulted in good integrity. 4930 and the competitor's product presented very similar results whereas the 4930UV was almost perfect after the 6 month test and much better than the other two after the 12 month conditions.

Peeling of the two WindOcoat 4930 was very easy. The competitor's 6 months was resisting peeling but OK whereas the 12 month competitor's was hard to peel back – it is very stretchy and has fairly good adherence to glass and it required some effort to peel back.

Patch Test: Because it is difficult to determine the type of substrate of the door frame such as type of acrylic ,perform a small test first. This will determine 4930 effectiveness, coverage, and the approximate amount of time required for it to work.
