Bainbridge International Masking Film & Surface Protectors

Bainbridge International Cover Guard®: Purpose-Built Surface Protection

Bainbridge International has been a trusted name in marine and industrial supply since 1917, and their expertise in technical textiles and protective materials extends well beyond sailcloth. Within the Masking Film & Surface Protectors category, Bainbridge brings that same century-plus heritage to one of the most practical challenges on the water and in the workshop: keeping finished surfaces safe while the hard work gets done.

Cover Guard® — The Flagship Surface Protection Product

The centerpiece of Bainbridge International's surface protection lineup is the Cover Guard®, a 10-mil temporary protective film engineered for demanding environments. Originally developed to provide temporary protection for all types of floor finishes, Cover Guard® is also well-suited for protecting walls, bulkheads, weatherdecks, furnishings, and for wrapping and containment. This versatility makes it a natural fit both aboard vessels and in professional fabrication or finishing shops.

The material is constructed from flame-retardant polyethylene and features a non-slip diamond pattern — a detail that matters enormously on boat decks, scaffolding, or any work surface where safety and slip resistance are as important as surface protection itself. The 10-mil thickness provides a robust barrier against scuffs, overspray, moisture, and construction debris without being cumbersome to apply or remove.

Why Bainbridge International Stands Out in Surface Protection

With over 100 years of experience in the marine industry and an extensive knowledge of textiles, Bainbridge International is committed to supplying technically innovative solutions for specialist markets. That background in high-performance marine fabrics directly informs the design of Cover Guard® — this is not a generic poly sheet, but a product shaped by deep familiarity with the unique stresses of marine environments, boatyard workflows, and professional finishing operations.

Cover Guard® is one of Bainbridge's proprietary brands , meaning it is developed and quality-controlled in-house rather than sourced generically. For professionals who rely on consistent performance roll after roll, that distinction is significant. Whether you are protecting freshly painted gelcoat, masking off hardware during a refinish, or shielding interior surfaces during a refit, Cover Guard® delivers the dependability that Bainbridge's professional marine and fabrication customers have come to expect.

Ideal Applications

• Marine refinishing: Protect weatherdecks, bulkheads, and hull surfaces from overspray and foot traffic during paint or varnish work
• Boatyard construction: Wrap and contain sensitive components, fixtures, and interior furnishings during build or refit
• Floor and surface protection: Guard finished floors and countertops in workshops, showrooms, or job sites
• Wrapping and containment: Secure and protect components during transport or storage
