This is a new one for as more and more development projects are put on hold till the economy improves, there comes a need for a way of protecting unfinished homes from the elements that can render them useless left exposed to the elements. Wood can rot and get water logged, furnishings and trim can warp and many other things that can go wrong that would ultimately end with the home being demolished. Shrink-wrap has been around for a long time and has been a mainstay in the food section of the supermarket and in the many warehouses, used to protect the item they are wrapped in while keeping them visible to the people who wrapped them. Now here comes a developer with an idea, cling wrap unfinished homes to protect them, till time comes to continue construction. The wrap would be a different type from that used in the food and materials handling industry for it would have to be tougher and resist damage from the weather. It would also have to be quite opaque so as not to get the contents damaged from the sun’s harsh UV rays. Innovation born of necessity, can it work for buildings and other larger structures?
