Internal hoarding is a temporary, modular barrier system that’s used to safely separate areas within a building during refurbishment or construction projects.

At Reuse-A-Wall, we stock an excellent selection of internal hoarding options for businesses of all kinds. In this blog, our experts look into why and where internal hoarding is used, what it’s made of, and its key benefits.

Why is internal hoarding used?

Internal hoarding panels are used when there is some refurbishment or construction work required inside a building. It reduces disruption by controlling dust and noise, and prevents unauthorised access to a certain area – ensuring people in the nearby area are safe.

What are our different types of internal hoarding?

At Reuse-A-Wall, we supply a range of different internal hoarding systems, each designed for slightly different purposes.

• Standard Reuse-A-Wall System – Made from durable PVC, this type of internal hoarding is lightweight, which makes it easy to relocate and handy for a wide variety of locations.
  
• Ready Rack™ Merchandisable Hoarding – Ideal for mobile and merchandisable hoarding and designed to offer a versatile hoarding to be used during refits and remodels for retail.
  
• Low Level Hoarding – Lower in height than other models of internal hoarding, it’s perfect for guiding foot traffic in offices, hospitals and a range of other buildings.
  
• Firestop Hoarding – Helps prevent the spread of fire, which is especially useful in places like airports. These fire-rated hoardings can give staff and the public 30 to 60 minutes extra time to evacuate.

What is internal hoarding made of?

Generally, internal hoarding systems are made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), timber and steel. Recycled plastic variants are a popular choice for companies looking to remain sustainable.

Fire-rated internal hoarding panels are insulated with mineral wool core, offering non-combustible properties.

The materials chosen to create internal hoarding panels are designed for stability, reliability, cost-effectiveness, reusability, and to be used in specific environments, such as airports and healthcare facilities.

What are the key benefits of internal hoarding?

There are many benefits to internal hoarding, which is why it’s popular in so many different settings.

Here are the main advantages of using internal hoarding:

• Noise and dust control – Internal hoarding can act as a barrier for dust, whilst also providing noise reduction. It can help maintain a cleaner, quieter environment.
• Cost-effective – Ideal for quick projects, temporary internal hoarding is an economical choice when constructing a permanent wall is not required.
• Modular and temporary – Unlike permanent walls, internal hoarding is perfect for temporary spaces; it can be installed, removed and moved with little cost or effort.
• Access control and safety –  Provides safe fencing around construction work, preventing members of the public from accessing the area.
• Reusability and customisation – Many internal hoarding systems are made from durable and recycled materials, allowing them to be used in multiple projects. Internal hoarding can also be branded with graphics or signage to provide information or advertising.
