Modular Building Covers

Rhino Shrink Wrap® modular building covers provide heavy-duty, weather tight & professional looking weather protection to panels, pods or entire modular buildings during transport or storage.

Advantages of Scaffold Shrink Wrap

Traditional scaffold sheeting, attached to the scaffold using bungees, can be a bit ‘hit and miss’ with even the best products easily damaged by bad weather.

Transport Protection

Unlike traditional tarpaulins held in place with ratchet straps, Rhino Shrink Wrap® covers are heat-shrunk to create a seamless, “drum tight” fit. This eliminates flapping and chafing, even at motorway speeds, ensuring that your modular buildings arrive at their destination in pristine condition.

Storage Protection

Rhino Shrink Wrap® modular building covers provide a tough, weatherproof barrier that shields stored modular units from the elements. They can be customized with air vents, inspection hatches, and lifting point access to ensure your modular buildings stay protected, secure, and well-ventilated during storage.

Professional Appearance

The clean, professional look of shrink wrap protects the unit itself and elevates your business’s image, whether on the road or on-site. Additionally, shrink wrap is easy to brand with large self adhesive vinyl signs.

How Do Shrink Wrap Modular Building Covers Work?

Traditionally, modular buildings have been protected from weather damage during transport or storage using tarpaulins and re-usable covers. But tarpaulins often struggle to fit securely, leading to flapping and chafing.

Shrink wrap modular building covers offer a superior solution. By using heat to shrink the material “drum tight,” shrink wrap creates a tight, secure fit that doesn’t flap or detatch in high winds. The heat-welded seams ensure a completely sealed cocoon, providing robust, long-lasting protection for modules.

Rhino Shrink Wrap® covers eliminate the need for returning, cleaning, and maintaining traditional covers. When it’s time to remove the cover, shrink wrap modular building covers are quick and easy to remove — and 100% recyclable, making them environmentally friendly choice.

Frequently Asked Questions about Shrink Wrap Modular Building Covers

Modular building shrink wrapping involves covering modular units with heavy-duty shrink wrap film to protect them during storage or transportation. The film is heat-shrunk to create a tight, sealed enclosure that shields modular buildings from weather, dirt, and damage, ensuring they arrive at site in perfect condition.

Unlike tarpaulins or other traditional covers, modular building shrink wrapping creates a custom-fit, drum-tight seal that won’t flap in the wind or become loose over time. The heat-sealed joints create a fully enclosed “cocoon” that offers superior protection against moisture, UV and environmental damage.

Yes, modular building shrink wrapping is ideal for both short-term and long-term protection. The durable, UV-resistant film ensures that modular units remain secure and weatherproof, whether they’re stored on-site for months or transported over long distances.

Modular building shrink wrapping offers multiple benefits, including secure, weatherproof protection, reduced risk of damage during transit, and a clean, professional appearance. It also minimizes the need for ongoing maintenance during storage and is quick to remove when the modular units are ready for use.

Yes, the shrink wrap film used for modular building protection is 100% recyclable. After removal, it can be collected and sent for recycling, making it a sustainable option for protecting modular buildings.

Removing modular building shrink wrapping is simple. The film can be cut and peeled away from the modular units quickly and efficiently, leaving no residue or damage behind. This makes it an easy to manage solution.
