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.
In our Protecta Tips: The Block Series, we break down how temporary protection is being used on-site, offering practical advice for tradies, site managers and contractors working on new builds, renovations and fit-out projects.
Check back weekly as we add tips and insights as the teams make progress and rooms are revealed.

Here’s how they kept things damage-free.
