Buy scaffolding toe boards

Toe boards are a key component of modern scaffolding systems. They provide lateral protection for working and access areas and play a vital role in preventing falls and preventing people from falling through. The CETRAC range includes toe boards in various designs, tailored to common scaffolding systems and areas of application – from classic facade scaffolding to complex special structures.

Areas of application

• Lower side protection on work, façade, painting, assembly or modular scaffolding
• Protection against falling tools or scraps of material
• Used in refurbishment and façade work, installation of external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), painting and cleaning work
• At busy building sites, on pavements or in public areas
• For projects that must meet enhanced security requirements
• Can be combined with wooden, steel or plastic flooring

System logic rather than individual components

At CETRAC, toe boards are not viewed in isolation, but as part of a fully functional overall system. When combined with guardrails, decks and brackets, they form a safe, standards-compliant scaffolding solution.
