Scaffolding doesn’t have to be ugly! At Protec we supply a lot of materials to contractors of all sizes and many request a lot of these, particularly scaffold sheeting or fence screens, to be branded with their logo. This is often a simple logo print with maybe some other details however we recently had a request for something altogether much more interesting. Work on a public or historic building that is often still open and accommodating visitors while under refurbishment or construction can look unsightly and detract from the visitor’s experience. Hiding scaffolding or other works completely is often not possible but you can definitely try and blend it in. We recently supplied our Printed Banner to Woburn Abbey which has been the home of the Dukes of Bedford for nearly 400 years. When work was planned to go ahead on the building a solution was needed to keep the scaffolding on the side of the building as unobtrusive as possible as there were still planned visits and events such as weddings taking place. The banners are an ideal, cost-effective solution for promotional purposes to create a big visual impact. We produce full colour, digitally printed banners at low prices. PVC banners of any size can be made using single or multiple images, company logos or even photographs. There are no colour limitations, and virtually any effect can be re-produced quickly and cost-effectively. Our vinyl banners are water-resistant, UV-resistant, printed with UV stable inks and are finished with strengthened eyelets.

High Winds and Scaffold Sheeting
The recent high winds and storms that have affected almost every corner of the UK has brought to light the issues that face many construction sites when the weather takes a turn for the worse. High winds, in addition to the potential structural damage they can cause, can be particularly problematical with most temporary protection materials in that the usually light protection if not secured properly is likely to be blown around site and thus failing to protect the areas that it is intended to.

Protecting Against Snow on Sites
Previous Protec blogs have already covered winter weather and snow but only in general detail, in light of increasing snow risk and plunging temperatures it may be of value to consider some specific protection solutions against snow.
“Know you enemy” is perhaps a little strong when assessing the impact of snow on your construction site but is none the less a valid point. Snow, unlike rain, sleet or hail is an insidious type of weather that can sneak in over night and completely disrupt works on site through its depth and frequency, extra work is required to dig the site clear and man hours are consequently lost. Snow, aided by the wind, is also a nuisance in the way that it can be blown in through openings, melts through the subsequent thaw and then you potentially have the risk of water damage to finished floors.

Weird and wonderful uses for our Proscaff FR
The innovation and ingenuity people are pushed to when looking after their family always fascinates me! As well as fantastic environmental credentials, we all need to think about how these ideas can be put to use in our everyday lives to reduce our carbon footprint. Doomsday or not, some of his ideas are something I need to explore to make my garden more efficient. He uses scaffold sheeting to cover up and waterproof his swimming pool.
A Survivalist Sees Profit in Helping Others Prepare
MESA, Ariz. — Swimming pools are one way of surviving Arizona’s sky-high temperatures, which hit triple digits in a recent uncharacteristically early burst of heat. But Dennis McClung’s pool, in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa, has been redesigned into a survivalist refuge of an entirely different sort.

Innovation in plain sight at 6 Agar Street, Covent Gardens
Morgan Sindall are currently redeveloping a prominent historic six-storey West End office building for Legal & General Properties. One of the major challenges faced by the site team was how they were going to maximise the brand opportunities for their client.
As the site would require scaffold sheeting the Morgan Sindall site team contacted Protec and various different options were discussed. Protec have the facility to digitally print directly onto our scaffold sheeting to create much larger graphic images without the restrictions of logo size or repeat length. In addition to the high quality print, as little as one single 2m x 45m roll can be produced.
Both the site and the client were delighted with the results. Project Manager Alan Bush said:
“Due to the particular branding requested by the client; Digiscaff provided an excellent solution for displaying multiple logos and information on scaffold structure. We were very pleased with both the support provided by Protec and the quality of the print and product. When fitting Digiscaff we found out that we needed extra 3 rolls to provide full coverage, this was provided within just a few days providing an excellent after service.”
Any site that requires scaffold sheeting, particularly inner city or urban locations can provide a dramatic and unrivalled communication opportunity for either you or your client. Often the equivalent of thousands of pounds worth of space in conventional media is left blank when it could be used so much more effectively and at a modest cost.
As part of this service Protec provide a full graphic design service and custom printed materials can be delivered to site in as little as 7 days.
Call us FREE on Freephone 0800 834704 and allow us to assist your site. Why waste valuable media space?

Is Nice! Enquiries for Scaffold Sheeting from Kazakhstan. What is Borat doing with it all?
We’ve had some enquiries over the past few days for our tough Scaffold Sheeting from Kazakhstan.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the Sheeting, it is great for protecting scaffolds because:
- It is Flame Retardant and approved to the LPS 1207 and LPS 1215 standard
- Conforms to BS7955 standard
- It is made from strong reinforced material to withstand all weather conditions
- Has a universal fixing system allowing it to be used on any scaffold structure
- It can be custom-printed
Despite all these great uses, the question still remains, what is Borat doing with it all?
