Hello,
We are going to have a door installed in the basement, and this will involve, among other things, chipping away some concrete.
From previous experience, we know that this creates a lot of dust, so some form of painter's plastic is mandatory. The idea is to tape down construction plastic (4x5 m) to the ceiling as partition walls on both sides of the door. In the middle of these walls, the plastic overlaps about 1.5 m to make it possible to go in and out.
We know that even though we do this, some dust will get out, but we hope that it will stop some at least.
The question now is how to secure the plastic safely without damaging the ceiling? We've used staples before, but we don't want to do that here. Maybe regular painter's tape would work if we buy extra thick?
Perhaps this protective film from Biltema?
200 mm wide.

Bought 4x5 plastic and 50 mm wide masking tape from Stockvis:

They worked well, but you had to be careful not to accidentally place tape on the plastic where it shouldn't be, as it would cause the plastic to tear.
We'll see how well it holds up.

I was really satisfied with the Biltema plastic sheet door with a zipper.
