Top 5 Hoarding Options

1. Modular 1-Hour Fire Wall

What is it?

A more versatile take on a fire wall system, the Modular 1-Hour Fire Wall is made up of interlocking steel panels filled with Rockwool insulation. It runs floor to ceiling with sealed abutments. And your branding can be applied directly to the panelling with high-quality vinyl graphics.

Suitable for:

Similar to the Traditional 1-Hour Fire Wall, this system works well in shopping centres, for internal construction projects, and as temporary partitioning.

Pros:

The modular nature of this system makes it easier to put in place. The panels are reusable, and the flat surface means it’s an ideal home for your brand graphics.

The safety specifications make it possible for work to take place before fire safety systems have been installed.

Cons:

Much like the traditional system, the Modular 1 hour Fire Wall is a higher cost option.

2. Heras Fencing

What is it?

Heras Fencing is made with steel wire mesh panels sitting in weighted rubber feet. These panels interlock, and the whole structure is usually finished by fixing a mesh banner to the front. These provide security and give you a place to put your brand advertising.

Suitable for:

These panels are best for short-term projects.

Pros:

The ultimate in speedy security, this option is easy and fast to install. It’s also reusable, making it even more cost-effective.

Cons:

Let’s be honest, Heras Fencing is an ugly and industrial-looking hoarding option. It also doesn’t fully conceal your worksite, so you might want something a little more private. When it comes to the branding you want to add to the banners, colours can be weakened by the holes in the mesh.

3. Traditional Wooden Framework

What is it?

This type of hoarding is usually comprised of treated timber posts, secured into the ground, and ply panelling. The structure is finished with header and kicker trim. It can be painted in your brand colours, or have signage applied.

Suitable for:

A Wooden Framework is best for long-term building projects.

Pros:

This is a solid system of hoarding, thanks to in-ground fixings. The treated wood is also weather-resistant, ensuring a long-lifetime.

Cons:

Wooden Framework Hoarding has quite an involved installation process, and so takes longer than more temporary solutions. Materials and labour costs make this a higher cost option for your project.

4. Traditional 1-Hour Fire Wall

What is it?

This timber-framed hoarding system is made up of fireboard panelling filled with Rockwool insulation. Then it’s finished with a header and kicker trim. The finished product runs floor to ceiling with sealed abutments. All this means that it will retain a fire for 1 hour (as the name suggests!). The panels can be painted, and your own brand signage can be applied.

Suitable for:

This option is a great choice for shopping centres, internal construction projects, or temporary partitioning.

Pros:

The main benefit of this solid system is that it complies with safety standards and allows construction work to take place before fire safety systems have been installed.

Cons:

Due to the materials and specifications, this hoarding system is pretty expensive. Installation is involved and labour intensive.

5. Modular PVC

What is it?

Modular PVC Hoarding is made up of corrugated PVC panels. They come with various fixing options (you can choose from weighted rubber feet, concrete weights, or equal footing). Then vinyl graphics can be added to the front, or branding printed directly onto the panelling.

Suitable for:

This type of hoarding is perfect for many situations including:
– Shopping Centres
– Building Sites
– Exhibitions
– Pop up vaccination centres

It’s suitable for projects with any timescale.

Pros:

The beauty of this hoarding system is that the lightweight panels slot together, making them incredibly easy to install. Their flat surface is ideal for graphics.

Modular PVC Hoarding is extremely versatile. Depending on your chosen fixing option, the system can be used internally or externally. And the panels are reusable, reducing costs for your project.

Cons:

To be honest, we can’t think of any cons for this hoarding system. It’s one of our favourites, and we’re sure you’ll love it too!
