Frequently asked questions
What can I order from Site Security and Protection?
CMT Group supplies surface protection, sheeting, tarpaulins, debris netting, matting, site storage and physical site security products for construction and project use. The range covers dustsheets, window film, indoor protection boards, carpet protection film, Monarflex scaffold sheeting, builder's polythene sheeting, debris netting, tarpaulins, tarmac sheets, matting, site storage boxes, padlocks, chains and temporary site fencing.
Use the product ranges above to move quickly to the right section, then narrow the results by product type, brand, size and delivery requirement where relevant. For account enquiries or volume supply, speak to our team.
How do I find the right surface or floor protection product for my project?
Start with the substrate being protected. Laid carpet requires a self-adhesive carpet protection film or roll. Hard floors and concrete substrates need a compressive protection board. Windows and glazing suit a non-adhesive or lightly adhesive film. Door frames, stairs and internal fittings may need moulded or wrap-style protection products.
Once you open the relevant range, use the available filters to narrow results by material type, size, fixing method and delivery requirement where relevant. Check the product description confirms suitability for the substrate type and the expected foot traffic volume on site.
What should I check before ordering carpet protection film or rolls?
Check the roll width against the carpet area being covered. Confirm the adhesion level is suitable for the pile type: loop pile carpets may require a lower-tack adhesive than cut pile. Verify the transit weight tolerance where heavy loads, sack trucks or pallet trolleys will be used over the protected area.
Check the roll length gives adequate coverage to minimise mid-run joins. Where carpet protection needs to cover stairs as well as flat runs, confirm the product description includes stair use. For larger quantities, check availability with the CMT Group team before ordering.
What should I check before ordering debris netting for scaffold or elevated work?
Confirm the mesh aperture size, safety factor rating and fixing method before ordering. Finer mesh retains smaller debris but reduces airflow, which may be a consideration for scaffold enclosures adjacent to public areas or where ventilation is a factor. Check the roll dimensions against scaffold bay height and run length to minimise cutting waste.
Colour may be specified by the principal contractor or a planning condition on some projects. Confirm the fixing method is compatible with the scaffold tube and coupler type in use on site. Check the product data confirms the netting's intended application and safety rating before ordering.
What should I check before ordering tarpaulins or tarmac sheets?
Match the tarpaulin weight (gsm) to the exposure level and duration of use. Lightweight polythene tarps suit short-duration and temporary indoor cover. Medium-weight woven polypropylene tarps suit general outdoor material cover and stockpile protection. PVC tarpaulins suit extended outdoor exposure, heavy plant cover and applications where tear resistance is a priority.
Check the grommet spacing and eyelet type are compatible with the fixing method in use. Confirm the stated dimensions include any selvedge reinforcing. Tarmac protection sheets have specific thermal properties and should not be substituted with general-purpose tarpaulins where heat retention is a factor during reinstatement works. Confirm the product data supports the intended application before ordering.
What is the difference between Monarflex scaffold sheeting and standard polythene sheeting?
Monarflex is a branded reinforced scaffold sheeting designed for use as temporary weather protection fixed to scaffolding structures. It is produced to a higher gauge with UV stabilisation and internal reinforcement to withstand wind loading and extended outdoor exposure over the duration of a scaffold contract.
Standard polythene sheeting is a general-purpose builder's film available in a range of gauges, suitable for covering materials, lining excavations and lightweight weather protection, but not typically reinforced for scaffold-fixed use. Where a principal contractor specifies a scaffold sheeting standard, confirm the product meets that specification before ordering. Check the product data for gauge, UV rating, fire rating where relevant and suitability for scaffold-fixed or ground-level application.
Can CMT Group support project quantities and repeat supply for site protection orders?
Yes. CMT Group supplies carpet protection film, tarpaulins, debris netting, site storage, padlocks and temporary site fencing for project accounts, framework supply and planned procurement. Trade account holders can use the EDGE B2B Portal for repeat orders, order history and account management.
The wider supply service is supported by supplier-level accreditations including CHAS Elite, BSI ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management and ConstructionOnline Gold. These accreditations support procurement confidence around safety management, quality processes and supplier assurance. Product suitability still depends on the individual product type, site conditions, manufacturer guidance and any project-specific requirements.
What temporary fencing and barrier options are covered in this range?
The Fencing and Barriers range within Site Security and Protection covers temporary site fencing panels, heras-style fencing, crowd control barriers and associated fittings including fence feet, clamps and bracing. These are intended for temporary perimeter control, work-zone demarcation and access restriction on active construction sites.
Confirm panel height, width and foot type against your site layout. Anti-climb specification may be required by the principal contractor on some projects. For permanent fencing, traffic management-rated barriers, road signs, road cones and associated traffic management equipment, see the CMT Group Traffic, Fencing, Barriers and Signage range.
