Building wraps are large-scale printed sheets that are fixed to scaffolding structures and used to conceal building work. They are commonly digitally printed with a CGI rendering or photographic image of the building façade, thereby attempting to ‘blend in’ with its surroundings. This is a technique that is sometimes used on buildings of national importance, to hide unsightly scaffolding while providing a representation of what the building looks, or will look, like.

The benefits of building wraps are that they can help to reduce the spread of dust, conceal construction work from the public, and mean that the unsightliness of an under-construction building is minimised.

The scaffolding must be safely prepared for the building wrap to be installed. If necessary, engineers must calculate important wind loads to be sure that the installation of the wrap will not be a hazard to the scaffolding.

The building wrap is installed onto a picture frame scaffold structure which projects about 300 mm further out than the last projected pole on the main scaffolding. Any projecting scaffold poles should be capped to cover sharp ends. This allows the wrap banner to move with the wind without getting caught on any poles which can cause damage.

The two fixing methods are standard and invisible. The standard method involves a picture frame that is made up of perimeter scaffolding with the wrap banner sitting about 150 mm inside the frame, fixed using 12 mm bungee cable.

The invisible method is more difficult but is generally thought to have a better appearance. The wrap banner is pulled completely smooth, placed over the picture frame scaffolding and clamped using clamp couplers/joins.

Before printing the wrap, the scaffolding picture frame should be installed so that an accurately measured template can be provided to the designers. Accurate measurement is important, as if the wrap is too small then it will move around too much on the frame, and if it is too large then it will not be taut enough and will be creased.

Building wraps can serve as a form of discreet advertising, in the same way as hoardings. However, they may be required to obtain planning permission from the local council. The Town and Country Planning Control (Control of Advertising) Regulation 2007, states that any advertisement that is over 4.6 m from ground level (3.6 m if it is in a conservation area), will need planning permission.
