ADVANTAGES OF USING SCAFFGAP

COMMITMENT AND COMPLIANCE 

Using ScaffGap demonstrates your company’s commitment to safety. It demonstrates compliance with scaffold industry best practice, guidance and British Standards, namely TG20:21 and BS EN 12811-1 respectively.

The NASC and Scaffolding Association guidance and best practice, with regards to inherent gaps, follows that of the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and prohibits gaps unless it can be demonstrated by way of risk assessment; there is no risk of injury.

Principle contractors increasingly scrutinise compliance of scaffold structures and unless scaffolding is erected in accordance with all standards this could lead to problems.

​

IT'S FAST

ScaffGap simply clips onto one of the scaffold boards on either side of the gap to create an instant,safe and secure bridge between the two, much quicker than cutting and fitting plywood.

​

IT'S ECONOMICAL

ScaffGap is also extremely cost-effective, having the capability to be used over and over again to deliver an excellent return on your investment. It is much cheaper than plywood which causes a trip hazard and is thrown away at the end of the job, thereby reducing waste and carbon footprint.

​

IT'S SAFE

ScaffGap complies with both the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and recognised industry best practice. Manufactured from a high-impact polymer, ScaffGap has excellent load bearing qualities and will withstand everyday site use.

​

IT'S EASY TO FIT

ScaffGap does not require any special tools or training to fix and is available in sizes that conform to standard centres. ScaffGap can also be cut to size using simple hand tools with the minimum of fuss.

​

IT'S GREEN

ScaffGap is made from recycled materials and can, in turn be recycled. ScaffGap can be used over and over again. It has a long life cycle and less energy is required to produce it compared with other materials such as plywood.
