Protective shrouds for temporarily protecting window assemblies, bathroom fixtures, and diverse prefabricated modules used in construction. The shrouds are fabricated from translucent plastic sheet material of polypropylene or polyethylene. A lower open port is selectively blocked by a foldable ventilation panel held in a deployed state by magnets. Rear mounted adhesive strips affix the shroud to the window. Top and side strips are bifurcated to enable rapid adjustments in height and length. When the tear away strips are removed, the exposed adhesive surface is pressed upon the target structure. Slight dimensional adjustments are made by pinching the sheet together, forming creases aligned with strip bifurcations, to gather material and shorten the shroud length or width. During subsequent dry-walling, shroud edges are captivated by wall board segments. Afterwards, the exposed junction between covered shroud and adjacent sheet rock portions is cut, and the shroud is torn away and discarded.

1. A shroud for temporarily protecting a prefabricated window fixture from dirt, debris and grime during a construction process, the shroud comprising:a resilient, generally rectangular sheet of foldable, plastic material having a top, a bottom, a front, a rear, and a pair of spaced apart sides; a first bifurcated adhesive strip extending across the back of the shroud at its top, said first strip comprising a first corner portion and a first elongated portion adjoining said first corner portion that is separated therefrom by a vertical crease at the shroud rear, with a corresponding vertical gathered region at the shroud front formed by pinching during dimensional adjustments that is aligned with said vertical crease; a second bifurcated adhesive strip extending across the back of the shroud along at least one side thereof, said second strip comprising a second elongated portion adjoining the first corner portion that is separated therefrom by a horizontal crease at the shroud rear, with a corresponding horizontal gathered region at the shroud front formed by pinching during dimensional adjustments that is aligned with said horizontal crease; and, whereby the shroud may be press fitted to the fixture and concurrently varied dimensionally to insure a proper fit. 2. The shroud as defined in claim 1 further comprising an open ventilation port defined in the shroud and a foldable panel coupled to the shroud for selectively blocking the ventilation port.3. The shroud as defined in claim 2 further comprising magnets attached to the shroud front and to the panel for yieldably, temporarily holding said panel in an open or closed position.4. A shroud for temporarily protecting a prefabricated window fixture from dirt, debris and grime during a construction process, the shroud comprising:a resilient, generally rectangular sheet of foldable, plastic material having a top, a bottom, a front, a rear, and a pair of spaced apart sides; adhesive strip means upon the back of the shroud for attaching to said fixture; means for adjusting the dimensions of said shroud as it is installed upon said fixture, whereby the shroud may be press fitted to the fixture and concurrently varied dimensionally to insure a proper fit; a ventilation port defined in the shroud; a foldable panel coupled to the shroud for selectively blocking or unblocking the ventilation port; wherein said adhesive strip means comprises a first bifurcated adhesive strip extending across the back of the shroud at its top, said first strip comprising a first corner portion and a first elongated portion adjoining said first corner portion that is separated therefrom by a vertical crease at the shroud rear, with a corresponding vertical gathered region at the shroud front formed by pinching during dimensional adjustments that is aligned with said vertical crease. 5. The shroud as defined in claim 4 further comprising magnets attached to the shroud front and to the panel for yieldably, temporarily holding said panel in either an open or closed position.6. The shroud as defined in claim 4 wherein said adhesive strip means further comprises a second bifurcated adhesive strip extending vertically along the back of the shroud along at least one side thereof, said second strip comprising a second elongated portion adjoining the first corner portion that is separated therefrom by a horizontal crease at the shroud rear, with a corresponding horizontal gathered region at the shroud front formed by pinching during dimensional adjustments that is aligned with said horizontal crease.7. A shroud for temporarily protecting a prefabricated tub and shower fixture from dirt, debris and grime during a construction process, the shroud comprising:a resilient, sheet of foldable, plastic material forming a plurality of adjacent panels, the sheet having upper edges and outer vertical lateral edges; a first bifurcate adhesive strip extending across the upper edge of the sheet which is divided into separate strips at a first separation region; a first adhesive region beneath said first bifurcated strip; second bifurcated adhesive strips extending along the vertical edges of the sheet which are divided into separate strips at a second separation region; second adhesive regions formed beneath said second bifurcated strips; the separation regions adapted to be gathered and folded to dimensionally vary the shroud to cover the fixture; whereby the shroud may be press fitted to the fixture and concurrently varied dimensionally to insure a proper fit.
