    Polyethylene builders film, or poly, is a low density polyethylene sheet used as a damp proof membrane or vapour barrier under concrete slabs and in various construction applications. It prevents rising damp and vapour transmission. Poly is available in different widths, lengths, thicknesses and impact resistance ratings and is installed according to building codes to form a continuous vapour barrier sealed at joints and penetrations.

    Builders film, or Poly, is a low density polyethylene


    TECHNICAL (LDPE) sheet used as a damp proof membrane or vapour
    barrier. Whilst it is typically used as a slab underlayment,
    DATA SHEET it can also has a wide range of general construction
    uses such as; membrane protection, floor protection,
    - Jointing Systems material containment, asbestos removal, pond lining,
    - Polythene Builders Film temporary roofing. Poly is available in a range of roll sizes,
    - Formwork thicknesses and impact ratings.
    - Formworking Accessories
    - Nails
    - Tie Wire
    - Loop Ties
    - Waterproofing

    FEATURES
    • Simple to use
    • Prevents rising damp and vapour transmissions on ground slabs
    • Wide range of construction uses
    • Compliant to AS2870 and tested in accordance with AS4347.6

    AREAS OF APPLICATION
    • Concrete Slab Underlay - Damp-proof membrane or vapour barrier
    • Landscaping - Pond or dam lining
    • Roofing - Roof protection sheets
    • Temporary flooring and membrane protection
    • Asbestos containment and removal
    • General site use

    IMPACT RESISTANCE
    The impact resistance of builders film is an important consideration as local
    building code often specifies the impact resistance of the film.

    Polyethylene film is tested by dropping a weighted dart from a specified


    height to asses the impact resistance and strength of the film.

    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
    When Builders Film is used as a vapour barrier and or as a damp proof
    membrane it must be installed in strict accordance with AS2870.

    The sheet shall be placed on the sub base so the bottom surface of the
    concrete slab is entirely under laid by the film. Joints are to be overlapped
    by not less than 200mm to ensure continuity, and are continuously taped
    using 50mm duct tape.

    Care is to be taken to ensure any penetrations by pipes or services are


    sealed to ensure a continuous vapour barrier by tapping with 50mm duct
    tape or with a minimum 200mm overlap.
