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.

Living and Dining Room Week
This week on The Block, contestants revealed their impressive living and dining rooms. With the finishes complete, the focus shifted to protecting these high-value spaces from dust and dirt while construction continued in other areas of the house.
Â
The solution? ZipWall® Dust Containment Systems.
Why ZipWall® Works
- Flexible setup: Use a combination of Standard (up to 3.8m) and Supertall poles (up to 6m) to protect open spaces of any size
- Custom fit: Precut containment sheeting plastic for a neater fit, especially on raked or cathedral ceilings (a unique advantage)
- Practical access: Add Premium Zippers so trades can easily move in and out without compromising dust control
By creating a temporary barrier, ZipWall® ensured the contestants’ completed living and dining rooms stayed clean, dust-free and free from costly cleaning or rework.Â
