WHAT IS SCAFFOLDING TARPAULIN USED FOR?

Scaffolding tarpaulins are used to protect construction and work sites from weather and external elements. They also help contain construction dust around the work area and create a safer working environment by protecting both workers and materials from wind, rain, and snow.

WHAT TYPES OF SCAFFOLDING TARPAULINS ARE AVAILABLE?

There are several types of scaffolding tarpaulins available, but the most common are lightweight reinforced fabrics that are either transparent or white. Keder fabric is also used as scaffolding tarpaulin in projects that are intended to remain in place for extended periods or where conditions require increased strength and a more robust fastening system.

HOW LONG DOES A SCAFFOLDING TARPAULIN LAST?

The service life varies depending on quality and usage, but heavy-duty PVC or reinforced tarpaulins are designed to withstand long-term projects and demanding conditions. Proper tensioning and secure fastening can significantly extend their lifespan.

CAN SCAFFOLDING TARPAULINS BE USED FOR LARGE PROJECTS?

Yes, scaffolding tarpaulins are highly suitable for large industrial and construction projects. They are available in widths of up to 3 metres and lengths of up to 30 metres and can be adapted to different heights, façade designs, and types of scaffolding.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRANSPARENT AND WHITE SCAFFOLDING TARPAULINS?

TEX-180 FR Clear does not contain bromides but still complies with EN 13501-1, Class B-s1,d0. This makes the fabric more durable over time, as it is less brittle than comparable scaffolding tarpaulins in the same weight category that contain bromides.

HOW IS A SCAFFOLDING TARPAULIN SECURELY INSTALLED?

Scaffolding tarpaulins are typically secured using keder tracks, cable ties, tarpaulin tape, or other suitable fastening systems. Correct installation is essential to ensure stability in windy and demanding weather conditions.

Scaffolding Tarpaulins

Transparent Tarpaulin

TEX-180 FR Clear is a transparent tarpaulin that is ideal when both protection, light transmission, and visibility are required. This type of scaffolding tarpaulin is often used for façade work and renovation projects, where natural daylight is desired through the scaffolding while still protecting the surroundings from construction dust and shielding the work area from weather conditions such as wind, rain, and drafts.

‍

WTEX transparent tarpaulins provide a bright and well-organized working environment with excellent visibility and a more comfortable work zone, without compromising durability or safety. The clear fabric is manufactured from robust materials that withstand UV radiation, moisture, wind loads, and demanding construction site conditions.

‍

The tarpaulin is flame-retardant and manufactured without bromides, making it a more environmentally friendly alternative compared to traditional flame-retardant tarpaulins. The product is classified according to EN 13501-1, Class B-s1,d0.

‍

This makes WTEX transparent tarpaulins a safe and preferred choice for professional construction and industrial applications.

Dimensions: 3.2 x 40 metres

Reinforced Fabric

Reinforced fabric is essentially the same material as a clear scaffolding tarpaulin but is supplied without perforated fastening holes. This provides greater flexibility for further processing and customization according to the desired configuration. The fabric features additional reinforcement along the edges, enabling various installation methods and adaptations.

‍

The clear fabric offers approximately 80% light transmission and is therefore often used in greenhouse applications or in solutions where inner tents or internal partitioning are required. This provides excellent lighting conditions while acting as an effective barrier against drafts and external elements.

‍

WTEX supplies reinforced fabric in large rolls, ready for further processing, allowing the product to be easily adapted to specific production or project requirements.

TEX-180 FR

TEX-180 FR is a lightweight reinforced tarpaulin with flame-retardant properties, developed for projects where flexibility and easy handling are important.

‍

The fabric is well suited for temporary covering, scaffolding, interior protection, and light wrapping applications.

‍

The TEX-180 FR series is an efficient and reliable choice for projects with light to moderate loads.

The fabric is classified according to EN 13501-1, Class B-s1,d0.

‍

Dimensions: 3.2 x 30 metres

‍

TEX-240 FR

TEX-240 FR is a heavy-duty reinforced tarpaulin developed for construction projects that require greater durability and stability. The integrated reinforcement provides excellent resistance to tearing and mechanical stress while maintaining sufficient flexibility for efficient installation.

‍

This tarpaulin is commonly used for façade wrapping, scaffolding, and temporary structures where both weather protection and safety are essential.

‍

TEX-240 FR is well suited for projects with medium to high loads and offers a solid balance between strength, weight, and ease of use.

‍

Dimensions: 3.2 x 30 metres

‍

TEX-320 FR

TEX-320 FR is an extra heavy-duty reinforced fabric developed for the most demanding conditions in construction, industry, and infrastructure projects. With a high fabric weight and dense reinforcement structure, it provides maximum tear strength, stability, and long-term resistance to harsh weather conditions.

‍

This fabric is particularly well suited for long-term wrapping projects, demanding façade work, and industrial installations where reliability and safety are critical.

‍

TEX-320 FR is a premium choice when a project requires maximum durability and strength.
