Conservation and restoration in Dublin

Historic Leinster House in Dublin, the Georgian building that is home to the Houses of the Oireachtas, underwent a major programme of restoration while government business continued as usual. For temporary containment and weather protection during the project, the client wanted a full building wrap, digitally printed with an image of Leinster House’s facade. The material had to be third-party approved to meet flame retardancy standards. Thew scaffolding contractors approached ITP to use Powerclad FR Scaffold Sheeting, which is third-party approved to TS 62 for plain and printed sheeting.

The challenge of recreating the facade image on 2.0m wide scaffold sheeting was taken up by ITP’s in-house design and print department. We enhanced, tiled and layered the image for digital printing on custom 52m length sheeting to accommodate the full 50m width of the building.
