project brief
The redevelopment of Whiteleys in Bayswater is transforming a well-known London landmark into a modern mixed-use destination. This major project combines residential living with high-quality communal spaces, all while preserving the building’s historic character. With extensive internal glazing installed throughout the development, protecting these surfaces during construction was essential to maintaining a premium finish.

The Challenge of Protecting Glass During Redevelopment
Large-scale redevelopment projects present ongoing risks to installed glass, including:
- Scratches from construction activity
- Paint and mortar overspray
- Dust and debris contamination
On a project like Whiteleys, where both modern and heritage elements are combined, avoiding damage and maintaining quality standards is critical to the success of the build.
The Solution: Spray-On Temporary Glass Protection
To protect the glazing throughout the redevelopment, Protectapeel temporary protective coating was applied directly to the glass surfaces.
This spray-applied, peelable coating created a durable barrier that:
- Protected against scratches, stains, and construction debris
- Remained effective throughout the build process
- Could be applied quickly across large internal areas
Its ease of application made it ideal for a project of this scale and complexity.
the result
The use of Protectapeel delivered clear benefits across the redevelopment:
- 6,000m² of internal glass fully protected
- Reduced risk of damage and costly replacements
- Minimised need for post-construction cleaning
- Improved efficiency and reduced delays on-site
Clean Finish and Efficient Handover
Once construction works were complete, the coating was simply peeled away, removing dust and debris along with it. This left behind clean, undamaged glass, ready for final presentation—helping ensure a smooth and efficient project handover.
