PD 70 / PD 100 frame scaffolding

The versatile PD 70 / PD 100 frame scaffolding is a very economical scaffolding meant for all kinds of construction and installation work. It has worked superbly in many applications and is among the most frequently used scaffoldings in Europe. The PD 70 / PD 100 facade scaffolding is a metric scaffolding.

Significant savings on labour costs

The versatile PD 70 / PD 100 scaffolding system allows one to surround any kind of building with scaffolding quickly and safely, even when it seems that local conditions may interfere. One employee is able to assemble from 100 to 250m² of working area per day. Thanks to these characteristics, but also due to the fact that the PD 70 / PD 100 scaffolding is easy to store, transport and assemble, you can save a lot on construction costs.

Technical specifications:

• tier height - 2m (compensation frames of 0.5m, 1m and 1.5m)
• basic platform length 2.5m and 3m (additional lengths 0.7m; 1.1m; 1.5m; 2m)
• wooden, steel or aluminium-plywood platforms
• hot-dip galvanized steel
• constant brace (diagonal) length for each field
• extension brackets from 32cm to 110cm

What are the advantages of PD 70 / PD 100 facade scaffolding?

The most important advantages offered by PD 70 / PD 100 facade scaffolding are:

• safe, quick and easy assembly thanks to special assembly logics
• self-jamming spigots (tippable dowels)
• choice of aluminium, steel and wood
• protection against platform unfastening
• optimal adjustment to different building shapes thanks to a useful gradation of platform length
• long service life guaranteed by solid making
• easy transport and economical storage

How to choose facade scaffolding for the type of project?

Selecting the appropriate facade scaffolding system should take into account the building height, the scope of work and the expected structural load. For residential and industrial buildings, it is essential to properly match the length of working bays, the type of platforms and the method of anchoring to the facade. Modern facade scaffolding allows easy expansion of the structure with additional working levels, extension brackets and vertical access. For thermal insulation or facade renovation work, facade scaffolding is often the chosen solution, providing convenient access to the entire wall surface and enabling safe work at height.

Facade scaffolding – use in facade and assembly work

Facade scaffolding is used during facade, assembly, renovation and installation work. It is employed for building insulation, facade painting, window joinery assembly and roofing work. The structure must provide adequate platform load capacity, safe vertical access and the ability to transport materials between tiers. For more demanding projects, additional scaffolding accessories are used, such as brackets, toe boards, protective nets or fall protection systems. Thanks to its modular design, facade scaffolding can easily be adapted to complex building shapes and varying conditions on the construction site.

What substrate is required for facade scaffolding?

A properly prepared substrate has a major impact on the stability of the facade scaffolding structure. The ground should be level, compacted and resistant to settling under the load generated by the structure and workers. In technical practice, facade scaffolding is mounted on wooden pads or adjustable steel base plates that allow precise levelling of the entire system. On uneven terrain, compensation frames and stabilising elements are additionally used. Every PD scaffolding should also be properly anchored to the building facade, which increases structural rigidity and improves safety when working at height.

Facade scaffolding: price – what does the cost depend on?

The cost of the investment depends on many technical parameters, which is why the price of facade scaffolding is set individually for each project. The most significant factors are the structure height, the number of working levels and the type of platforms used. Additional protection and specialised scaffolding accessories such as brackets, vertical access or protective nets also matter. As a professional scaffolding manufacturer, we also take into account the quality of steel, anti-corrosion protection and compliance with current safety standards. More extensive facade scaffolding intended for large projects requires a greater number of system components, which directly affects the final cost of the project.

The most common mistakes when assembling facade scaffolding

Improperly assembled facade scaffolding can cause loss of structural stability and increase the risk of accidents during work at height. Every facade scaffolding should be assembled in accordance with the technical documentation and the manufacturer's recommendations. The most common mistakes include:

• lack of proper levelling of the base
• incorrect anchoring to the facade
• skipping braces stiffening the structure
• lack of protection against platform unfastening
• overloading platforms with construction materials
• incorrect assembly of protective barriers
• use of damaged components and worn-out accessories

We recommend regular inspection of connections and technical acceptance after assembly is complete. This ensures that facade scaffolding maintains adequate rigidity and operational safety.
