Our online prices on mesh building wraps are based on standard finishing of hem and eyelets or reinforced hem and eyelets around the outer perimeter of the banner. On large banners, extra pockets sewn into the reverse of the banner can be added at an additional cost. These pockets will wrap around the scaffolding uprights giving your banner additional anchor points.
Building Wraps are a superb outdoor advertising solution used to dress a building under construction or renovation and are used to cover scaffolding. Full colour printed at high resolution for stunning graphic effects, the fine mesh allows wind to pass through. These are ideal to attach to a large scale scaffolding structure and are also known as scaffold wraps.
Digitally printed PVC Mesh banners allow air and light to pass through, which means less resistance to gusts of wind. Ideal for building wraps our PVC Mesh banners are printed using UV technology. Mesh is also lighter in weight than a traditional front light banner.
Regular PVC banners are not recommended in winds of 30mph+ as hems and eyelets can be ripped out.
A professional survey of your intended installation site is advisable for building wraps over 25 square metres in size. A survey will calculate wind-loading on the structure.
Where scaffolding is not already in place, large building wraps can be installed using a wire cable frame and a criss-cross effect of bungee shock cord. This method allows more ‘give’ when the wind hits and ensures a secure and long-lasting installation.
Building Wraps Finishing
Crucial to the quality and longevity of any building mesh wrap are the methods used to finish it. An old traditional way would be to Stitch banners. While we still offer to sew (commonly on fabric materials), we more commonly use high-frequency welding on our Building Wrap Mesh banners. Welding gives a much stronger, more predictable and more aesthetically pleasing finish than stitching.
Omega Pockets
On large building wraps and giant building banners, we advise having fixing points every 3-5 metres. Positions of these fixing points would usually be on the supporting upright scaffold tubes. We would recommend an ‘Open Omega Pocket’. An omega pocket is x2 open flaps on the reverse of the banner which runs vertically. These flaps have eyelets on each edge, wrap around the scaffold tube and can be tied together by either rope, cable ties, or bungee cord.
Building Wrap Sizes
We print Building Wrap Mesh on roll widths up to 5 metres wide. Wraps larger than 5 metres both horizontally and vertically will be joined with a weld.
Building Wraps Fitting Methods
- Scaffold Frames – Building Wraps are an ideal solution for scaffolding. Your scaffolding contractor can be instructed to make a simple frame, to which your wrap is attached using strong bungee shock cord.
- Bungee Ties First step would be to fit fixing points.
- Typically large eye or hook bolts – bungee clips or ties can be used to attach to the banner eyelets. This method tensions the banner as well as allowing some give when the wind hits, thus protecting hems and eyelets.
- Wire Frame & Bungee – a steel wire frame would run though eye bolts approximately 300mm outside the banner. Once the wire is tensioned, the banner can be fitted to the cable using a zig-zag of bungee shock cord – easier in short sections of 4-5m. The rope gives the effect of a trampoline on its side, tensions the banner and allows some give for high winds.
