Each week on The Block, contestants face the same challenges as any busy residential construction site: time pressure, tight access, messy conditions and protecting finishes from damage.
Protecta Tips: Back of House Week
"Back of House Week" on The Block is a special week focused on renovating the often-overlooked areas of a home such as the laundry, garage, and hallways, rather than the main living spaces. It’s all about transforming these essential yet functional spaces into practical and stylish areas that add value to the overall home.
During this week, the contestants are tasked with designing and renovating areas that typically don’t get as much attention in the initial stages of a renovation but are just as important when it comes to a home's functionality. This could involve creating more storage, improving lighting, or ensuring better layout and flow for these utilitarian spaces.
What the contestants used:
Protecta Shield - Precision Fit for standard spaces, and customisable for difficult areas.
·       Protecta Shield (grey): at 1.2 metres wide, it is the ideal width to fit between cupboards and island benches, providing quick coverage in those busy high-use zones. This shield can be easily cut down with a knife or scissors to custom protect the area. Specifically used in the laundry.
·       Protecta Shield XTRA (green): At 1.5 metres wide, it can cover a benchtop and the front of kitchen cabinets. It is also quick and easy to protect finished floors, cupboards and other furniture. A versatile option that delivered both precision fit and reliable strength.
