What exactly are hoarding panels and why are they the best substrate for your hoarding project?
Most hoarding board is made from an Aluminium composite which is strong, lightweight and durable. We use aluminium composites such as Dibond and Alu-Panel.
Advantages Of Dibond Hoarding Panel
- Strong and rigid
- Fire resistant
- Lightweight and easy to handle – less stress on existing hoarding
- UV resistant and can be used outdoors
- Can be laminated with anti-graffiti laminate film
- Easy to cut to shape where required
The panel sizes are 8ft x 4ft and a larger size of 10ft x 5ft. Although any size and shape can be cut from these sizes.
Can you use any other substrates on hoarding?
Whilst the short answer to this question is Yes, these are rare exceptions. We have used heavy weight banner material on existing timber hoarding in the past, but we feel that after a short time it will deteriorate and will not represent your project well over the long term. However, you may have a short term project where this might be appropriate.
We have also seen Foamex used on hoarding projects, and whilst there might be a small saving to be made, the long term look of your hoarding is compromised.
How does hoarding board last?

Hoarding boards for Heras Fencing?
Heras Fencing is often used on the perimetres of sites and is not suitable for use with aluminium composite panels. We use mesh substrates such as the one below to create graphics for Heras or temporary fencing. See our article on Heras Fencing Covers here.
Take a look at some of our past Hoarding projects undertaken with design agencies and home builders to create communication and branding awareness around construction sites.

We were asked by Fluid design agency to produce premium hoarding for their client in Kent. As well as the usual printed hoarding boards, this also included cut acrylic letters and logo's, tray signs and solar powered spotlights to highlight the branding.
Cut Acrylic Lettering & Logo's
The cut acrylic letters and logo's were produced on our flatbed cutting facility in Cheshire. The depths of the acrylic used was 19mm, 10mm and 5mm. Whilst the 5mm letters were adhered direct to the hoarding boards, the larger 10mm and 19mm acrylic letters were adhered using locators, projecting them some 20mm away form the hoarding board surface. This gave the hoarding a premium look.
Tray signs on hoarding boards
Solar Powered Lighting used on Hoarding
To add to this premium hoarding, we used solar powered spotlights. These were positioned on the acrylic text and logo at regular intervals across the length of the hoarding. As the acrylics were fixed with locators, the lighting during the evening accentuated the depth between hoarding boards. The solar panels had to be positioned in a direction to maximise exposure to the sun.
Printed Hoarding Boards
The hoarding boards between the logo boards were traditionally printed using our AGFA workflow and flatbed printing presses. The site survey identified areas where the hoarding boards
In some areas the cut acrylic letters were added to tray signs. The tray signs were made from 3mm folded ACM with a return of 50mm. This not only increased the premium look of the hoarding but also meant that these could be repositioned and re-used in the future.

House Builder Flags and Marketing Suite Graphics
The House Builder flags and flagpoles are the most popular product. They are 6 metres tall to the top of the finial, and include a 2 metre long x 900mm wide flag. This portrait flag drapes permanently from a rotating arm ensuring a permanently expanded graphic even when there is little or no breeze.
The flags are weighted from the base and attached to the flagpole by a weighting ring and mast bands. This ensures the flag drapes permanently to enhance the graphics, logo's or text. The knitted polyester flags are single sided and have a 95% show through, giving a graphic on both sides of the flag.
We install the house builder flags with a rotating arm. This means that the flags will turn into the direction of wind direction to reduce the stress on the flag and flagpole and thus increase the life of the flag. Flags can be easily replaced in the future by removing the flagpole from the sleeve which is fixed permanently into the ground.
Double sided flags
Many clients go for double sided flags which include a light-block liner to prevent graphics merging together from both sides. However, the flags look fantastic as a single sided flag where the lightweight fabric drapes well and lasts that little bit longer.Marketing Suite & Construction Site Printed Graphics
