Things You'll Need:
- plastic sheeting
- utility knife
- tape, preferably painters tape
-
Step 1
First look around the room where you want to contain dust during your demolition or remodeling. Look for anywhere that always air to enter and leave the room. This would include doors, windows, air vents and any other openings.
-
Step 2
Now designate one doorway to be your main entryway to the room. Using thin plastic sheeting to seal off all the other areas you identified in step one except for exterior windows.
-
Step 3
Place fans blowing outward in all exterior windows and leave these running throughout the demolition or remodeling to remove as much dust as possible from the house.
-
Step 4
Now take the door you have designated as your main entryway to the room and take a sheet of plastic and tape it top, sides, and bottom to the demolition side of the frame. Now take a sharp utility knife and cut a slit down the middle of the plastic.
-
Step 5
On the opposite side of the frame take an equal sized piece of plastic and hanging it from the frame by taping it only at the top. It gives you a door you can enter and leave through while still being able to contain dust during demolition or remodeling.
