Hoarding
Scroll down
Hoarding’s primary function acts as a safety and privacy perimeter
to aesthetically conceal construction work and help guide pedestrians through predefined public safety routes. It also offers the most cost-effective, large-scale marketing canvas to sell your brand vision and amplify audience engagement with maximum impact.
Printed hoarding graphics lend themselves
to being an extremely cost-effective, large-scale indoor and outdoor advertising canvas to achieve maximum impact in the public eye, ideal for promotional and advertising messaging.
Hoarding provides an essential barrier
to protect the safety of workers and
passers-by during construction and building refurbishment projects, sealing off the site for security and compliance purposes, as well as ensuring the area is concealed from sight.
During refurbishment and construction projects, hoarding is often used to hide and protect unsightly building work. Through the straightforward addition of printed designs, graphics hoarding panels are immediately transformed to stand out or blend in
with the aesthetics of the local area.
The potential benefits of hoarding are vast, with its core function being to conceal and protect building projects. Adding carefully-considered designs and promotional messages will also create brand engagement and a sense of anticipation about what is happening behind the hoarding barrier.
Hoardings are built to safeguard building work and withstand all the elements.
They are hard-wearing, UV light and water resistant. In addition they can be protected with a selection of different finishing options to help prevent against vandalism and graffiti.
Hoarding solutions are suitable for a
wide range of applications, to seal off
and protect building areas, indoors and
out. Depending on the requirement
and placement, it’s possible to choose
from various different hoarding types, including timber and Kentledge® systems
or anti-climb mesh interlocking panels.
What’s the benefit of hoarding in the housing
and property sector?
Well-presented branded property development site hoarding creates a safe and secure site boundary and instantly conveys high-impact key messages to passers-by to inform, build brand recognition and create anticipation.
Visually appealing hoarding also plays a critical
role in the Considerate Constructors Scheme’s compliance and aesthetics requirements,
a benchmark of best practice in this sector.
What’s the benefit of hoarding in the construction and commercial sector?
Custom-printed construction site hoarding offers the multi-functional role of both creating a sense of anticipation and brand awareness in the local area during development, as well as professionally concealing building work with a protective site security boundary to ensure the safety of everyone on site and all passers-by.
What’s the benefit of hoarding in the retail developments sector?
In addition to protecting the development area, hoarding graphics offer the opportunity to create
a stir, build brand excitement and increase anticipation about the changes coming soon
during retail new builds and refurbishments.
It can also maximise business as usual during a construction phase to improve the directional flow of customers and passers-by for their safety, effective sign-posting and promotional messaging.
We carefully use an inventory of hoarding materials with finishing options to achieve optimum print results and durability.
Are there different types of hoarding?
Timber post and rail system
This is the most common system, where a timber post and rail fence is erected with a ply or sterling board panel pinned to the front of the structure. It is this surface that Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) printed panels can be secured to. This system is usually used for long term applications as it is secured below ground with concrete.
Above ground kentledge® system
This is a floor-standing system that can be used both externally and internally, perfect for where the ground cannot be penetrated. A timber option can have ACM panels applied in exactly the same way as the post and rail system, whereas for the plastic panels, vinyl is usually applied. The vinyl is applied in drops like wallpaper, so the final design is seamless. The vinyl can also have the same protective films applied to the surface to protect against anti-social behaviour or to provide a high gloss or matt finish. There are no visible fixings present which means the design is uninterrupted.
Anti-climb mesh interlocking panels
This is commonly used to secure a site in the early stages such as groundworks. The panels are floor standing with very low wind-loading characteristics to not overload. So as not to overload the panels when adding printed decoration, a mesh product is commonly used. This also allows air to pass through, preventing the panel from acting like a sail and toppling. The mesh banners adhere to the fence with tie wraps or bungee ties so that they can be easily and quickly removed when required. Designs can run over several panels seamlessly or banners can be made to fit individual fence panels. The mesh is PVC based and the print resistant to moisture meaning that these banners can be hosed off if required, which is often the case during groundworks when sites are dry and dust becomes an issue.

— Consider and document suitable materials, fixings and installation solutions
— Identify provisions for logistics management, including loading, unloading and storage
