Masking & Protection
Protecting areas not to be painted is of upmost importance, as it's far better to protect and ensure the areas to be painted are the only ones that are - rather than spend unnecessary time cleaning up. Once the work is complete all masking is removed and disposed of and the area vacuumed.
Masking film is used over fragile items and can be easily adjusted during re-decoration, for example to gain access to television (as shown below). This ensures minimal time covering up again.
