In this video, you will discover how heat-shrink film is applied on scaffolding. Heat-shrink film is a perfect solution for confining a construction site. So you can create a space that is “out of water, out of air and out of dust”. In addition to scaffolding, this product is usable in a wide range of applications : for asbestos removal works, in the nuclear industry, on shipyards, to create temporary roofs, to protect the environment or even to wrap boats.
Video transcription
I have to install it. I’m going to imagine that I am inside my scaffolding. So, I am going to pass through here. I am looking at my line, it is straight. You see, there are lines on the heat-shrink film. You have to use these lines to see if we are pretty much good.
Do you want clips?
That is what the clips are for [to position the film on the scaffolding].
My film is held here, and here it won’t move anymore.
When I have 20 or 30 centimeters extra [on the flap], I’m fine. If I’m about right and I’ve got 10 centimeters extra, I will really position it before doing anything.
When you are doing big building sites, which are going to last a very long time, double sided adhesive tape is mandatory.
Even at the top?
Even at the top, because your heat-shrink film, even when you’re asleep, the wind is going to hit it.
Here, I have got too much film to do welding.
For now, the welds alone will hold it in place. The efforts on the film will be transferred to the welds, and will be transferred to the rosettes [to avoid abrasion of the film as a result of friction, we recommend the use of protective shells for the rosette and collar].
For tensioning, you really need to look. It’s a regular movement, and when the film is smooth, it is that it is quite warm. I always retract very close to the film, because that way I have very little inertia between the moment I see that it’s good and the heat that is going to keep coming. So the movement is extremely regular.
When it makes that sound, I like it.
