Types of Hoarding

On building sites, hoarding is vital since it protects safety and acts as a strong branding tool.

• Timber Hoarding: However, regular maintenance is necessary to preserve its look and durability, particularly during harsh weather conditions.
  
  
• Steel Hoarding: Perfect for long-term or high-security projects, steel hoarding is extremely durable and tamper-resistant. It provides a solid barrier and enhanced protection, though it’s heavier and typically more expensive than other options.
  
  
• Scaffold Hoarding: By integrating with existing scaffolding, this type of hoarding maximises space and reduces material costs. It’s ideal for urban projects where site footprint is limited and dual-purpose structures are a smart solution.
  
  
• UPVC and Water-filled Hoarding: These portable, modular systems are perfect for short-term projects or events because they are easy to set up and take down. Easy to transport and reposition, they offer a flexible solution with minimal site disruption.
  
  

Installation and Removal

• Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC): A TWC plays a crucial role in overseeing hoarding construction, ensuring they meet structural and safety regulations. Their approval is essential for compliance, especially on construction sites or public-facing projects.
  
  
• Delivery and Ordering: To avoid delays, plan your Dibond orders well in advance. Custom printing typically requires lead times, particularly for large-scale or branded signage. Early ordering ensures timely delivery and avoids last-minute installation issues.
  
  
• Installation: Dibond's the material composite shell makes it lightweight, portable, and easy to install. It can be fixed using screws, industrial adhesives, or mounted onto frames, offering flexibility for various surfaces and settings.
