How To Achieve Complete Glass + Window Protection With Axiom

From expansive glass curtain walls and storefront windows to interior partitions and mirrors, glass plays a major role in modern construction. However, once installed, these finished surfaces face a constant risk of damage from ongoing jobsite activity.

Whether it's scratches from tools, paint overspray, dust buildup, or accidental impacts from moving equipment, even minor damage can lead to costly repairs, replacements, and project delays.

That's why protecting glass throughout construction is essential. But with different surfaces exposed to varying levels of risk, one protection solution isn't always enough.

At Axiom, we offer a complete lineup of temporary glass and window protection products designed to keep finished surfaces damage-free, reduce cleanup, and help contractors avoid unnecessary costs.

From lightweight films and protective paper to heavy-duty boards and edge protection, here's how to choose the right solutions for your next project.

Protecting Glass From Every Angle

Glass protection goes beyond simply covering a window. Depending on the jobsite, contractors may need to protect the glass itself, surrounding frames, exposed edges, and other vulnerable components.

The right solution depends on several factors, including the level of jobsite traffic, potential for impacts, project duration, and whether natural light needs to pass through protected windows.

Our glass and window protection lineup addresses these different challenges with products suited for everything from minor scratches and dust to more demanding construction conditions.

Glass Films + Lightweight Surface Protection

Armour Premium Glass Film 365 DayArmour Premium Glass Film

For projects requiring long-term glass protection, Armour Premium Glass Film 365 Day provides a dependable barrier against everyday construction damage.

Designed to adhere directly to glass, this protective film shields finished surfaces from scratches, paint overspray, drywall mud, dust, and other common contaminants.

With up to 365 days of protection and clean removal when used as directed, it's particularly useful for extended construction schedules where windows may remain exposed to ongoing work for months.

Its easy application makes it an efficient solution for protecting storefront glazing, curtain wall systems, interior glass partitions, mirrors, and more.

Armour Protection Paper

For shorter projects or areas with minimal traffic, Armour Protection Paper provides a simple, economical alternative for temporary glass coverage.

Made from 100% recycled paper, this lightweight solution helps protect windows and glass storefronts from damage such as scuffs and scratches, while being useful for blocking windows where privacy is needed during construction or renovation.

Easy to roll out and install, Armour Protection Paper is ideal for low-risk applications where quick, cost-effective protection is the priority.

Impact-Resistant Glass + Window Protection

While protective films and paper help prevent surface contamination and minor damage, high-traffic jobsites often require something more durable.

When workers, ladders, tools, and equipment are constantly moving around finished glass, impact-resistant protection boards provide an additional barrier against accidental contact.

Armour Protection Board – Translucent

Protecting windows shouldn't always mean blocking out natural light.

Armour Protection Board – Translucent combines durable impact protection with light transmission, making it an excellent solution for protecting windows and glazing while maintaining a brighter workspace.

Its lightweight, 4mm thick fluted plastic construction provides resistance against impacts while remaining easy to handle, cut, and install.

Unlike opaque coverings, its translucent design allows natural light to pass through, helping maintain visibility and reduce the need for additional lighting in enclosed work areas.

Waterproof and reusable, it's a practical option for contractors looking to protect large glass surfaces without completely blocking daylight.

Armour Protection Board – Green HD

For glass located in demanding, high-risk construction environments, Armour Protection Board – Green HD delivers heavy-duty protection where durability matters most.

Made from 5mm thick honeycomb plastic with a fleece backing, this robust board is designed to withstand significant impacts and demanding jobsite conditions.

Its durable, reusable construction makes it a valuable option for areas exposed to heavy equipment movement, material handling, and frequent construction activity.

Although it blocks natural light, its increased impact resistance makes it well suited for situations where maximum physical protection takes priority.

Window Frame, Edge + Corner Protection

Protecting the glass itself is only half the job. Window frames, mullions, corners, and exposed edges can also prove extremely vulnerable during construction.

Luckily, we offer several versatile solutions designed to protect these surrounding components and complete your glass protection setup.

Armour Foam Edge Protector

When protecting vulnerable edges and frames, the Armour Foam Edge Protector provides a cushioning barrier against accidental contact.

Its lightweight foam construction helps absorb minor impacts from workers, tools, and materials, reducing the likelihood of damage to exposed architectural features.

Easy to install and remove, it's a practical choice for window frames, surrounding trim, and other edges that may be exposed to regular jobsite activity.

Armour Corner Guard Edge Protector

Corners are particularly vulnerable to damage, especially in busy areas where equipment and building materials are frequently moved.

Our Armour Corner Guard Edge Protector provides a durable protective barrier for exposed corners, helping prevent chips, scratches, and other damage caused by accidental impacts.

Whether used around window openings, frames, or nearby finished surfaces, these protectors add another layer of defense in areas where damage is most likely to occur.

Armour Multi-Use Protection Tape

Sometimes, the most effective protection comes from a solution that can adapt to multiple surfaces.

Armour Multi-Use Protection Tape is a versatile, durable film tape designed to protect finished hard surfaces from scratches, scuffs, dust, and other minor construction damage.

Available in multiple widths, it's particularly useful for protecting window frames, curtain wall glazing, mullions, and other narrow or irregular surfaces that may be difficult to cover with larger protective materials.

Its easy application and clean removal make it a convenient solution for protecting smaller details without adding unnecessary installation time.

Flexible Vertical Protection

Armour Vert-Shield

For vertical surfaces that need protection from moderate construction damage, Armour Vert-Shield offers a fast and convenient solution.

Designed with an integrated peel-and-stick adhesive strip, it can be quickly secured to suitable finished surfaces without requiring separate fastening materials.

Its perforations every 21 inches allow crews to tear sections to size without cutting tools, making installation efficient even across multiple areas.

Providing protection against light impacts and everyday wear, the Vert-Shield also offers clean removal for up to 60 days when used according to product guidelines.

While particularly useful for cabinets, millwork, and bathtub or shower surrounds, it can also complement a broader glass and window protection strategy by shielding compatible surrounding vertical finishes.

Choosing The Right Protection For Your Project

With our range of protection products available, selecting the right glass protection comes down to understanding the risks each surface will face.

For low-traffic areas exposed primarily to dust and scratches, Armour Premium Glass Film or Armour Protection Paper may provide all the coverage required.

In busier areas where accidental impacts are more likely, Armour Protection Board – Translucent or – Green HD offers a more durable protective barrier, with the choice depending on the level of protection needed and whether natural light is a priority.

For window frames, mullions, and surrounding architectural details, Armour Foam Edge Protectors, Corner Guard Edge Protectors, and Multi-Use Protection Tape can help address vulnerable areas that larger protective materials may not cover.

Combining these solutions allows contractors to create a more complete protection system suited to the unique conditions of each jobsite.

Conclusion: Complete Protection, Fewer Costly Repairs.

Glass damage can be expensive, but preventing it doesn't have to be complicated.

By selecting the right temporary protection materials early, contractors can reduce the risk of scratches, impacts, and contamination while minimizing the need for cleaning, repairs, and replacement work before project turnover.

With our range of glass and window protection solutions, contractors can address everything from minor surface damage to heavy impacts, ensuring the right level of protection is in place wherever it's needed. The result is fewer costly repairs, less rework, and finished surfaces that remain in excellent condition from installation through project completion.
