Builders Film — Heavy Duty Poly Film for Construction

Aside from its primary use under concrete, it serves as a highly versatile temporary protection film. Tradespeople use it to seal off unfinished sections of a build from harsh weather, cover large stockpiles of sensitive raw materials like timber or cement, and protect expensive newly installed flooring during the final stages of a fit-out. Builders film is also used during asbestos removal to seal work areas, cover surfaces and equipment, and help contain asbestos fibres and contaminated materials. Heavy-duty film, such as our 200-micron polyethylene, provides a durable barrier that helps prevent the spread of contamination during removal and clean-up.

In the builders film vs plastic sheet comparison, standard plastic sheeting (like painter's drop sheets) is very thin and tears easily under foot traffic. True builders film is manufactured from heavy-duty, impact-resistant polyethylene, specifically engineered to survive the friction of concrete pours, steel mesh installation, and severe outdoor weather conditions.

Your builders film micron choice is dictated by the application. For standard concrete slab underlay and critical damp proofing, a robust 200-micron thickness is strictly required to prevent punctures. For lighter tasks, such as temporary weather protection or simple dust barriers, a 100-micron film provides adequate strength while remaining easier to handle.
