Formwork and scaffolding specialist PERI has launched its brand new scaffold cladding system, which aims to mitigate construction noise, shield workers from adverse weather conditions, and minimise the risk of objects falling from heights.
The PERI UP Cladding system seamlessly integrates with the company’s existing system scaffolding products, providing a versatile enclosure that can be effortlessly installed in any construction environment. Leveraging lightweight and easily manoeuvrable components, the system offers a notable advantage in weight compared to existing alternatives, the company said.
Featuring expansive translucent panels equipped with integrated handrails, the PERI UP Cladding system ensures straightforward handling and fitting without necessitating specialised tools. Its design allows for the enclosure of entire construction sites or specific areas using fewer components, facilitating a rapid and adaptable installation process.
Matthew Binder, National Product Manager for PERI UK, emphasised the system’s alignment with the government’s ambitious Levelling Up program, which seeks to revitalise towns and cities nationwide, necessitating increased urban development while addressing concerns such as noise, dust, and site access.
Binder stated, “PERI UP Cladding has been meticulously developed to tackle the contemporary challenges confronting scaffolding contractors, who are tasked with providing safe access for workers at height while safeguarding them from environmental elements and ensuring site security.”
He added, “We are confident that this represents a significant enhancement to the PERI UP Scaffolding Kit, addressing numerous environmental challenges faced by contractors while enhancing protection against unauthorized access and theft due to the panels’ non-removable design.”
