Scaffold Shrink Wrapping : The Process

HELLO!

I’m Steve Irlam

Managing Director of

Rhino Shink Wrap.

I’ve been shrink wrapping scaffolding since 2009. I started out ‘on the tools’ and now I help customers achieve the results they want from their scaffold shrink wrap projects.

How is Shrink Wrap Different?

SHRINKS ‘DRUM TIGHT’

= no site visits to repair wind damage

WELDED JOINS BETWEEN SHEETS

= better ‘containment’ & weather

protection

IMPROVED APPEARANCE

= happy customers & more repeat work

For external shrink wrap sheeting maximum

untied vertical distance for scaffold shrink

wrap = 3 lifts/ 6m

For best results, scaffold structure should

be flush. Shrink wrap can be cut around

protrusions but it can affect performance

and appearance

Take care not to drop rolls or snag sheets of

shrink wrap during installation

Avoid installing shrink

Overlap shrink wrap around scaffolding tube by

30-40cm and use clip to hold before heat welding

The propane gas gun bonds overlapped

areas of shrink wrap together

The heat gun is used to shrink

the scaffold wrap ‘drum tight’

Hold the gun 30-40cm from the shrink

wrap and work the heat over the

shrink wrap – like spray painting

To repair small holes after

heat shrinking use Patch

Tape

Larger areas can be repaired by cutting a

patch of shrink wrap and heat welding into

position

Thank you.
