Protective barrier material having low visual impact

Abstract

A protective material for wrapping a building under construction, after construction, and building materials on a job site but not yet used in the framework construction. The protective material is formed from a synthetic composite sheet having a visual noise reductive colorization for providing low visual impact of the building under construction in its surrounding environment.

1 . A film-like material for wrapping a building under construction comprising a synthetic material formed from a composite sheet wherein the material includes visual noise reductive colorization for providing low visual impact of the building under construction in its surrounding environment. 
   
   
       2 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the composite sheet provides a protective barrier that shields the building under construction from weather-related damage or deterioration. 
   
   
       3 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the composite sheet has a permeability that provides for breathability while still being water-resistant. 
   
   
       4 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the composite sheet is moisture-repellent. 
   
   
       5 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the composite sheet is continuous. 
   
   
       6 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the material is sectionally applied to the building under construction. 
   
   
       7 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the composite sheet is formed from a nonwoven fabric. 
   
   
       8 . The material of  claim 5 , wherein the nonwoven fabric is laminated. 
   
   
       9 . The material of  claim 5 , wherein the nonwoven fabric is chemically treated. 
   
   
       10 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the composite sheet further includes an elastomeric component. 
   
   
       11 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the material is applied to building materials prior to their use on the building under construction. 
   
   
       12 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the material having low visual impact is rated according to the level of visual differentiation between the material and the surrounding environment of the building under construction. 
   
   
       13 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein at least one surface of the sheet includes a visual pattern. 
   
   
       14 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein at least one surface of the sheet is textured. 
   
   
       15 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the material colorization includes camouflage patterning. 
   
   
       16 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the material colorization comprises earth tones. 
   
   
       17 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the material colorization is selected from the group consisting of stone, sand, clay, sage, forest, brown, gray, and combinations thereof. 
   
   
       18 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the material is approximately opaque. 
   
   
       19 . The material of  claim 1 , wherein the opacity is at least about 75%. 
   
   
       20 . A film-like material for wrapping building materials not yet being used in a building construction comprising a synthetic material formed from a composite sheet wherein the material includes an elastomeric component to ensure a secure fitting wrap over the building materials, wherein the material has a visual noise reductive colorization for providing low visual impact of the building materials not yet being used in a building construction.
