In the UK, we’re facing climate conditions that are ever-changing. Weather represents one of the biggest uncertainties on site, and at Base Structures, we’ve developed Base Weather Screens – engineered temporary fabric weatherproofing that gives you control across your site. As we head into the winter months, now is a great time to choose screens to keep your work on track.

Why choose Base Weather Screens? We’ve seen real benefits for clients using Base Weather Screens, including:

Uninterrupted programmes

In one 15-storey office development, we deployed 1,800 m² of screens engineered to British Standard wind loads, enabling internal works, fit out and external envelope work to proceed in parallel.

Large scale projects delivered on time

For the Moderna Innovation and Technology Centre in Oxford, over 4,200 m² of Base Screens protected the team from weather delays, helping them keep to schedule.

Because the screens allow interior fit-outs and cladding operations to overlap, contractors can remove programme slack, reduce hand-offs, and sometimes finish earlier than projected.

Flexibility and speed

Every site is different. That’s why Base Screens are bespoke: engineered and configured to your site geometry and access constraints. If the build evolves, the screens can be reconfigured, relocated, or removed quickly. The installation and removal turnaround is fast, helping minimise disruption to critical works.

Health, safety, environment & site integrity

Our clients consistently tell us Base Screens help manage dust, debris and noise, and contain materials securely, reducing risks and protecting site boundaries. They also contribute to security and privacy by limiting public visibility – perfect for major project unveilings. All our screens are engineered to withstand high wind loads, comply with fire safety standards, and reuse and upcycling is kept in mind from day one.

Cost efficiency & control

Compared with conventional weatherproofing options like sheeted scaffolding, Base Screens provide a more economical solution. Fast installation, minimal scaffolding dependency and fewer weather-related delays translate into real cost and time savings.

Whether your project is large or compact, conventional or complex, Base Weather Screens help you plan proactively around the weather instead of reacting to it. To discuss how we can tailor a solution for your next build, contact Base Structures today on 0117 911 5250 or email mail@basestructures.com
