Upgrading to flame-retardant boards can prevent accidents and ensure regulatory compliance, making them essential for modern scaffolding projects.
They are versatile and ideal for:
Construction sites involving welding or electrical work
Industrial maintenance in factories or refineries
Event staging and temporary structures in fire-prone areas
Renovations of historical buildings where fire safety is required
Offshore or marine environments needing durable, reliable boards
They are pressure-impregnated with fire-retardant chemicals that inhibit ignition and slow flame spread, forming a char layer rather than burning. Some treatments meet Class A fire performance standards.
Yes. They are weather-resistant, protected against rain, UV, and temperature changes, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor scaffolding.
No. Modern treatments preserve timber strength, maintaining full compliance with BS 2482 structural requirements. The boards remain robust under regular use.
No. Applying non-approved coatings can compromise fire performance. Only certified flame-retardant or anti-slip coatings approved by the manufacturer are safe.
They resist ignition, char on the surface, and slow flame spread, reducing heat release. Unlike untreated timber, they often self-extinguish once the ignition source is removed.
With proper care, boards last 5–10 years or longer, often outlasting untreated timber because they are protected against fire, rot, and insects
Yes. Certificates of conformity for structural and fire performance, as well as treatment batch records, are available on request.
Clean with mild soap and water, avoid harsh chemicals, and inspect regularly. Replace boards with deep cuts, burns, or excessive damage to preserve safety.
