Buy a painter’s scaffold

At a glance: Depending on the system and quantity, a second-hand painter’s scaffold costs approx. 24 – 45 €/m² at CETRAC (e.g. Layher Allround 101 m² for 2,440 €, ≈ 24 €/m²). For painting, plastering and skimming work, a steel frame scaffolding in load class 2–3 – including decking, guardrails and toe boards – is usually sufficient; it is tested and available for immediate collection from our Leipzig warehouse.

FAQ – Painting Scaffolding

A painter’s scaffold is a narrower, lightweight work scaffold designed specifically for painting, filling, plastering and wallpapering work. It provides a steady, stable working surface and can also be used in confined indoor spaces or on narrow sections of façade.

It is used for all tasks where a comfortable working height and a secure standing surface are required – for example, wall decoration, painting façades, applying fine plaster, working along window lines or on precise details.

Ein Malergerüst ist meist schmaler und leichter konstruiert, um schneller umsetzbar zu sein und in engen Bereichen zu funktionieren.
Ein Arbeitsgerüst ist breiter und für vielseitigere Gewerke ausgelegt.

Malergerüste lassen sich modular auf die benötigte Höhe aufrüsten - sowohl für Innenräume wie Treppenhäuser als auch für Fassadenflächen. Welche Belastungen je Ebene zulässig sind, zeigt unser Ratgeber zu den Gerüstlastklassen.

Yes. Painting scaffolding is used both indoors (living spaces, halls, stairwells) and outdoors (facades, plinth areas, roller shutter boxes).

For large façades, facade scaffolding is often the more cost-effective option.
