Abstract
Scaffolding element (100) with insulation, said scaffolding element (100) comprising a frame (110) of metal braces (111) and a set of fastening means (120), arranged to fasten the scaffolding element (100) to a supporting structure (20) of a scaffolding structure (10). The invention is characterised in that the scaffolding element (100) furthermore comprises a block (130) of insulating material, and in that the block (130) is cast around the frame (110), so that the frame (110) is completely covered by said insulating material but so that the fastening means (120) are not covered by said insulating material. The invention also relates to a manufacturing method and a kit of parts.

A scaffolding element with insulation, the scaffolding element comprising a metal frame of metal braces and a set of fastening means, arranged to fasten the scaffolding element to a supporting structure of a scaffolding structure, wherein the scaffolding element furthermore comprises a block of insulating material being cast around the metal frame so that insulating material of the block completely covers the metal frame but so that the fastening means protrude outside of a space occupied by the insulating material, and wherein the metal frame directly connects different ones of the fastening means arranged on opposite width-wise sides of the scaffolding element by a connected, rigid metal connection.
A method for manufacturing an insulated scaffolding element, comprising:
- a) providing a mold;
- b) providing a first scaffolding element, in turn comprising a metal frame of metal braces and a set of fastening means, arranged to fasten the scaffolding element to a supporting structure of a scaffolding structure, the metal frame directly connecting different ones of the fastening means arranged on opposite width-wise sides of the scaffolding element by a connected, rigid metal connection;
- c) arranging the first scaffolding element in the mold with the metal frame completely contained in the mold and its fastening means protruding out from the mold;
- d) filling the mold with insulating material;
- and
- e) allowing the insulating material to set into solid state to form a block of insulating material being cast around the metal frame so that insulating material of the block completely covers the metal frame but so that the fastening means protrude outside of a space occupied by the insulating material.
