Scafclad™
Encapsulation Sheeting
Certified scaffold containment, engineered for Australian conditions
The Original Scafclad,
Trusted Since 2003
Scafclad has been protecting Australian construction sites since 2003 — more than two decades of real-world use across scaffolds, demolitions and complex builds in every condition the country can throw at it. That track record means fewer unknowns on your site: a containment system that's already been proven against Australian weather, Australian standards and Australian project timelines, not a newer product still finding its feet. Being first to market also means Scafclad has had longer than any competitor to refine what actually works — from fixing methods to fire retardancy to how the sheeting handles on a busy site.
Two decades of testing and site experience sit behind every roll, so you know what you're getting before it's even on site.
Certified Encapsulation Sheeting
for Australian Construction Sites
Efficient sites stay on schedule, on budget and out of trouble. Sitemax helps construction and project teams control risk, protect worksites and meet safety requirements with high-performance encapsulation products. Scafclad, Australia's first locally owned encapsulation sheeting, is a trusted solution for durable scaffold containment across complex building projects.
Scafclad delivers proven performance in scaffold containment sheeting applications, backed by complete testing reports and built to perform reliably in tough site conditions. Customisable to suit your site and brand, it pairs with Spidermesh or Scaffmesh for structural containment and fine-particle control.
Scaffold Containment
Built for Australian Conditions
FlameX Scafclad is engineered to meet AS1576.7 safety standards. It's UV-stabilised, flame retardant and tested for durability in extreme site environments. Installed with compliant Sitemax pointed elastic fixing ties, it offers long-term protection with minimal maintenance.
Scafclad integrates seamlessly with Spidermesh or Scaffmesh for compliant structural containment and added fall protection. It can also be digitally printed for large-scale onsite branding and safety messaging — promoting your project or brand without compromising compliance or environmental protection.
Encapsulation Built
for Project Efficiency
Lost time from weather, safety breaches or poor containment affects every part of a build. Scafclad reduces downtime by creating a consistent barrier that blocks debris, dust and weather exposure, while improving visual presentation with branded building wrap options.
Scafclad scaffold containment sheeting is designed to:
- Reduce dust and particle spread during demolition, blasting or surface work
- Prevent debris from escaping scaffolds and elevated work areas
- Protect materials from weather damage and contamination with weatherproof sheeting
- Improve site appearance with branded building wraps
Scafclad also works with scaffold tags and labels, suited to all kinds of scaffolds, contained or otherwise. It can be customised for complex projects with vinyl zipper access doors and zipper windows for ventilation.
Built to make site work easier, each Scafclad sheet is simple to handle, fast to install and low maintenance. For large-scale projects, Sitemax pre-cuts, packs and delivers to your specifications — helping teams work quicker and reduce on-site waste, for less labour waste, smoother handovers and better control over site progress.
