Having worked on the railway for 15 years, we have only ever used bin bags or shrink-wrap to cover signage, but we have finally found a supplier who can meet our needs on the infrastructure. Made from recycled materials, easy to install, avoids working at height risks/costs, and reusable, what a great product!
