The thickness of Shrink Wrap needed will depend on what is being shrink wrapped and what the finished wrap will experience in terms of stress after the installation. The thicker the shrink wrap, the more durable it will be. If the wrapped object will need to be transported on the open road for long distances, a thicker shrink wrap like 250 microns (10 Mil) would be strongly recommended. For scaffold shrink wrapping, 300 microns (12 mil) is typical.

Environmental factors are the biggest consideration when estimating how long a shrink wrap cover will last. However, 6 months to a year is a reasonable expectation.

Stretch Wrap is a plastic wrap which is wrapped repeatedly around pallets and other stacks of boxes holding the load together during transportation. Stretch Wrap relies on elastic recovery to contract and hold tight after it is applied. Shrink wrap is a much thicker material which is applied and and then shrunk to a tight fit using a propane heat gun.

Welding and shrinking are the two main skills required to carry out almost any scaffold encapsulation and containment job. These skills can be taught in an hour or two. The challenge of shrink wrapping (and also the benefit) is that because it is so versatile, every project is a little different and ‘custom’. Therefore, it is one of those skills that develops with practice and experience to a variety of projects over time.

The most convenient way to access our shrink wrap training courses world wide is via our online training platform.

We work on an average of 100m2 per man per day for scaffolding encapsulation & containment sheeting.

Our standard warranty for shrink wrap that we install is 25 weeks subject to wind speeds up to and including 47mph.

Although we mostly provide a shrink wrap contracting service in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland we can provide our shrink wrapping services, including shrink wrap training in any location worldwide.

The costs for shrink wrapping scaffolding depends on a range of factors including the area to be sheeted, the location of the project and whether a final seal is required. Contact us for a quotation.

Yes, however electric guns are available but they require three phase electricity supply, are cumbersome to use, cost three times as much and are still only about 1/3 of the power so the job will take much longer.

Ideally 1-2 weeks notice is great, but we understand the nature of scaffolding and construction sites means that you may not always have this much notice so we will always try and be flexible to meet your deadlines.

Unfortunately, we can no longer produce any Printed Debris Netting with a coloured background due to multiple technical issues we were facing when printing.

For the UK mainland, the delivery cost is from £13.95/roll with discounts over 2 rolls, although orders over £750 are delivered free of charge!

It is very similar to normal debris netting, however the weave is just a little closer to better display any logos or graphics that are printed on to it. The material used for printed debris netting is a rugged 50gsm high-density polyethylene.

We can offer a quantity discount for orders over 10 rolls or more. Contact us if you’d like an official quotation with the quantity discounts applied.

Send us your logo and any specific requirements. We’ll then generate a proof under those requirements for your approval. Only when the design has been approved, can we then start production.

We found cable ties every 30cm is usually good practice or 20cm if the weather conditions are poor, although it is entirely dependant on the environment and placement of the netting. You can purchase cable ties from us here.

Please send us your logo as a high-quality PDF or as a scalable vector graphic (Adobe Illustrator). Please note our printers cannot accept JPEGs or PNGs as they have issues when enlarging to print.

Standard is a minimum of 1m between each logos, with no continuous. Non-standard is with a gap less than 1m, with/or a continuous print.

Currently, 14-20 days from acceptance of artwork & receipt of payment or your purchase order (credit accounts only).
