We are a Dagenham-based scaffold supplier.
Buy LPS 1215 certified scaffold sheeting in 2m × 45m and 3m × 45m rolls for construction, refurbishment and scaffolding projects where certified flame-retardant sheeting is required.
Designed to provide temporary protection around scaffold structures, the reinforced sheeting helps shield working areas from wind and rain while providing containment around the outside of the scaffold.
Unlike general-purpose or non-certified flame-retardant coverings, this product is certified to LPS 1215, making it suitable for projects where this particular fire-performance certification has been specified.
Choose from 2m × 45m or 3m × 45m rolls and order online for delivery.
Roll Size | Coverage per Roll |
2m × 45m | 90m² |
3m × 45m | 135m² |
Coverage figures are based on the full dimensions of each roll before allowing for overlaps, fixing and installation requirements.
Not every project has the same requirements. Standard scaffold sheeting may be sufficient for some applications, while other sites specifically require a product with recognised fire-performance certification.
This sheeting provides the practical benefits of a temporary scaffold enclosure while meeting LPS 1215 certification requirements.
It can be used to help:
If LPS 1215 certification has been stipulated within a project specification, it is important to use the appropriate certified product rather than assuming that any sheet described simply as “flame retardant” will meet the same requirement.
LPS 1215 is a recognised fire-performance standard used for scaffold sheeting and similar protective coverings.
This distinction can be particularly important on commercial construction sites and projects where the principal contractor, fire-risk assessment or project specification requires independently certified flame-retardant temporary coverings.
Always check the requirements of your individual project before ordering. If a particular certification has been specified, the sheeting selected should match that requirement.
Scaffolding can leave trades exposed to changing weather, particularly when working at height or on open elevations.
Installing scaffold sheeting creates a temporary barrier around the structure, helping to reduce direct exposure to rain and wind and providing a more protected working area behind the scaffold.
This can be useful during external refurbishment, rendering, painting, roofing, maintenance and other work where exposure to poor weather can disrupt progress.
The sheeting should not, however, be treated as a permanent weatherproof building envelope.
Sheeting can also help keep dust and light debris within the scaffolded area rather than allowing it to spread as freely into neighbouring spaces.
This makes it particularly useful for projects involving activities such as refurbishment, façade work and demolition where temporary containment is required.
It can also provide separation between the work area and surrounding properties, pedestrians or other parts of a busy construction site.
The appropriate containment measures will depend on the work being undertaken, so site-specific risk assessments and project requirements should always be followed.
Both variations are supplied in 45m-long rolls, with the choice coming down to the width required for your scaffold layout.
The 2m-wide roll provides 90m² of material before installation allowances.
Its narrower width can make it a practical choice where the scaffold configuration suits 2m sections or where smaller sheets are easier to position and handle.
The larger 3m-wide roll provides 135m² of material before installation allowances.
It covers a greater area with each run of material and can therefore reduce the number of separate horizontal runs needed on suitable scaffold elevations.
The best option will depend on the dimensions and design of the scaffold rather than simply choosing the largest roll.
LPS 1215 sheeting can be specified across a wide range of temporary works and construction environments, including:
The suitability of scaffold sheeting for a particular structure should always be established as part of the scaffold design and site risk assessment.
Adding solid sheeting to a scaffold can significantly change the way the structure reacts to wind.
An open scaffold allows much of the wind to pass through it. Once an elevation is sheeted, considerably more wind pressure can be transferred to the scaffold structure, ties and fixings.
For this reason, sheeting should never simply be added to an existing scaffold without considering the additional wind loading.
The scaffold must be appropriately designed for the intended sheeting and site conditions, with suitable ties and fixings determined by competent persons where required.
Installation should follow the manufacturer’s instructions together with the scaffold design, relevant standards and site-specific risk assessment.
Correct overlaps help the material perform effectively once installed.
Where sheeting is being used primarily for weather protection, the upper sheets are generally arranged to overlap the lower sheets externally so that rainwater is directed down the outside rather than behind the covering.
Where the primary purpose is containment, installation requirements may differ.
Always follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and the requirements of the scaffold design rather than relying on a generic fixing arrangement.
A 2m × 45m roll contains 90m² of material and a 3m × 45m roll contains 135m², but these figures should not be treated as the exact finished area each roll will cover.
Some material will normally be required for overlaps and installation.
Before ordering, calculate the scaffold elevation that needs covering and then allow for the installation method, overlaps and any additional material required by the scaffold design.
For larger projects, it can also be sensible to allow some additional material rather than calculating the order to the exact square metre.
Yes. This is flame-retardant scaffold sheeting certified to LPS 1215.
We supply two roll sizes:
2m × 45m – 90m² of material per roll
3m × 45m – 135m² of material per roll
Actual installed coverage will be lower where overlaps are required.
No. A product being described as flame retardant does not automatically mean that it has LPS 1215 certification.
If your project specification calls specifically for LPS 1215, check that the product being ordered carries the required certification.
Yes. Scaffold sheeting can provide temporary protection from rain and wind and help create a more sheltered working area.
It should be correctly installed and must not be regarded as a permanent weatherproof enclosure.
It can help contain dust and light debris within the scaffolded area, but the containment system required will depend on the work being undertaken.
A suitable site-specific risk assessment should determine the level of protection required.
Not automatically.
Sheeting increases the surface area exposed to the wind and can substantially increase the loads transferred to the scaffold and its ties.
The scaffold therefore needs to be suitable for sheeting, with its design, ties and fixing arrangements taking the additional wind loading into account.
Scaffold sheeting is normally secured through its designated reinforced fixing points using suitable scaffold sheeting ties or toggles.
The exact fixing pattern should follow the manufacturer’s installation guidance and the requirements of the scaffold design.
Choose the width that best suits the scaffold configuration and installation plan.
The 2m × 45m roll provides 90m² of material and may be easier to handle in smaller sections, while the 3m × 45m roll provides 135m² and covers a larger area per run.
Choose 2m × 45m or 3m × 45m LPS 1215 certified scaffold sheeting from the options above.
Suitable for professional construction, refurbishment and temporary works where certified flame-retardant scaffold protection has been specified, both roll sizes provide a practical combination of weather protection, containment and recognised fire-performance certification.
