Is it convenient to use scaffolding for apartment renovation?

Have you planned to renovate your home, and have you chosen the wallpaper and paint you like? The next step is to think about what tools you will need for the job. Since the ceiling in modern rooms is higher than a person’s hand can reach, you will have to use something you can stand on while doing the renovation. A stool is not the most convenient means for climbing to a height. If you have a stepladder, that’s better, but scaffolding is the most optimal for ceiling work and wall repair.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using mobile mini-scaffolding during apartment renovation?

Advantages of scaffolding for renovation

Safe work

Compared to a stepladder, scaffolding allows you to stand steadily at a distance from the ground without holding on to the handrail with your hands. The stable structure allows a person to work at height without the risk of falling.

Comfortable position

Thanks to the spacious platform, you can freely move left and right while performing repair work. At the same time, all the tools and materials will be at hand.

Efficient use

Due to the fact that the scaffolding is usually up to 2 m long, you will not have to constantly go down and move the structure, as you would if you were using a ladder.

Disadvantages of scaffolding for repairs

Dimensions

Scaffolding takes up more space compared to a stepladder. Their use can be inconvenient in small rooms and in too narrow corridors.

Assembly

Scaffolding is usually delivered, transported and stored disassembled. To assemble them, you need basic skills and a certain amount of time.

Transportation

Due to the large dimensions, scaffolding is usually disassembled for transportation. But even when dismantled, the scaffolding takes up a lot of space. Only the flooring has a length of up to 2 m. The trunk of a car will not be suitable for transporting the scaffolding. You will have to find a car that matches the dimensions of the scaffolding.

Price

The cost of the scaffolding may be higher than the stepladder. But considering that the scaffolding is larger and more convenient, it is worth giving preference to them.

In low rooms or for one-time repair work, it may be more convenient for you to use a stepladder due to its portability and mobility. But if you have high ceilings in your rooms and long-term work is ahead (for example, puttying, painting, finishing the ceiling), then the scaffolding is a great option!
