INFO
What it is
Masking is the process of covering and protecting areas that should not be painted, using tape, film, paper, and sheeting, before spraying begins.
Why it matters
Because spraying applies paint as a fine mist, careful masking is essential to protect glass, fixtures, and surrounding surfaces and to give clean, sharp edges. It is a large part of what makes spray work look professional.
Where it is used on a project
Critical on every spray job, and especially on site where work takes place around windows, fittings, and adjacent finishes that must be kept clean.
How NECC approaches it
We mask thoroughly before spraying, protecting surrounding areas and ensuring crisp lines, which keeps work clean and contained even on live and occupied sites.
