Keep your facility safe, clean, and operational during construction or reroofing with the only fully code compliant Suspended Cover—a term TuffWrap® pioneered to distinguish our engineered solution from conventional polyethylene sheeting that fails to meet full code requirements. This temporary construction ceiling system helps maintain compliance while minimizing disruption. Specify SmartSeam® first for fast, professional installation and maximum dust protection.
SmartSeam® is the only fully code compliant suspended ceiling approved under sprinklers. It keeps facilities clean, safe, and open during construction—blocking dust, resisting tears, and activating sprinklers instantly for unmatched protection.
TuffWrap® SmartSeam® is trusted by leading warehouses, manufacturers, and GMP facilities nationwide.
Reroofing is disruptive. Even a single falling particle can lead to contamination, safety issues, or costly downtime. SmartSeam® engineered temporary ceiling construction barrier provides advanced dust and debris containment by sealing below the roof deck with puncture‑resistant, sprinkler-safe panels engineered to open in the event of fire. Designed for commercial, industrial, and educational facilities, SmartSeam® offers a flexible fit across a wide range of spaces.
Unlike standard plastic sheeting—which can allow contamination and even violate safety standards—SmartSeam® temporary ceiling dust protection is engineered to meet the strictest compliance requirements, protecting both your operations and your bottom line. Its precision-engineered, heat-reactive seams create a fire-responsive ceiling system that opens only where heat is present, allowing sprinklers to activate immediately while maintaining ceiling integrity and full code-compliant fire protection.

TuffWrap® is the only interior protection company that delivers a fully code-compliant ceiling barrier, SmartSeam Suspended Cover system, certified to meet 100% of IBC EC 043 and FM Approvals 4652. Backed by UL 723S, ASTM E84 Class A, and NFPA 13 certification for the highest fire safety and performance.
Proven Code Compliance through extensive testing: Fully IBC, FM, NFPA, ASTM E84 Class A, UL, FDA, and GMP compliant—and the only system approved for installation below fire sprinklers.
Innovative polyethylene material reduces the spread of flames and smoke, meeting the building codes and safety standards.
Panels use heat-reactive thread that melts in a fire, creating openings for sprinklers without ceiling collapse. It maintains sprinkler operation and meets fire-code requirements.
Dust Caps on seams block fine particles, protecting people, products, and equipment—vital in food, wood, metal, and pharmaceutical industries.
Flexible to fit varying roof deck configurations and open strategically where needed. TuffWrap solutions are custom-built for each job.
Prevents dust adhesion and static buildup that can lead to contamination or ESD hazards. Protects electronics, plastics, textiles, printing, and flammable liquid handling industries.
Inhibits mold, mildew, and bacterial growth. Offers protection for industries that require a hygienic or food-safe environment.
6’x5’ panels of four‑ply, six‑mil polyethylene with diagonal and perpendicular scrim provide exceptional tear and puncture resistance.
Diagonal and perpendicular scrim layers reinforce the material for strength, tear resistance, and durability – even in high-pressure environments.
Trusted nationwide to protect people, products, and property during construction. See how SmartSeam® temporary suspended ceilings help facilities avoid shutdowns, prevent contamination, and stay fully operational.
Unlike temporary plastic barriers that simply hang below the ceiling, SmartSeam® is a precision-engineered suspended cover system built for performance and compliance. Each panel is constructed with heat-reactive seams that respond only where heat is present—opening in direct proportion to a fire’s reach so sprinklers can activate exactly where needed. This smart, localized reaction helps maintain ceiling integrity, prevents unnecessary collapse, and keeps your facility protected, clean, and fully compliant throughout construction or reroofing.
Yes. SmartSeam® is the only suspended cover system specifically designed and approved for installation beneath automatic fire sprinklers. Its heat-reactive seams ensure that sprinkler discharge is fully operational and that openings form naturally in the affected area during a fire. The system meets or exceeds International Business Code (IBC) EC 043, FM Approvals 4652, NFPA, UL 723S, and ASTM E84 Class A standards—demonstrating proven performance, fire resistance, and compliance integrity.
SmartSeam® is designed for efficient installation, professional installation by certified TuffWrap® crews. Most projects are completed without disrupting production or closing facilities. Its lightweight, modular panel system installs cleanly below the roof deck, creating an immediate dust- and debris-control barrier that allows business to continue safely during reroofing or construction.
TuffWrap® provides interior protection that keeps people, products, and operations safe during construction.
As a pioneer in the dust, debris, and construction containment industry, TuffWrap is committed to product and industry improvement. We are proud members of industry organizations.
