DPM stands for Damp Proof Membrane. It is a barrier used in construction to prevent moisture from rising through concrete floors.
While durable, polythene sheeting is not designed for long-term direct UV exposure. For permanent outdoor applications, consider UV-stabilized materials.
1000 Gauge (or 1000G) refers to a unit of thickness for plastic films, equivalent to 250 microns or 0.25 millimeters.
This heavy-duty sheeting is robust, but specialized pond liners are recommended for long-term pond applications due to flexibility and UV resistance requirements.
The product code Pdl 19M X 4M indicates a size of approximately 19 meters long by 4 meters wide. Please refer to the specific product listing for exact dimensions.
The BBA approval specifically relates to its use as a Damp Proof Membrane in construction. Other applications rely on the material's inherent properties of strength and durability.
Dispose of the used sheeting responsibly in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations for plastics.
Gently unfold the sheeting and lay it flat in a warm area for a short period to allow creases to relax. You can also weigh down the corners.
For minor tears, use heavy-duty polythene repair tape. For larger applications, reinforcement may be needed before installation, or a new piece may be required.
Ensure the surface is completely dry before laying the sheeting. If used as a DPM, proper installation according to building regulations is crucial.
Setup: For smaller sizes, gently unfold the sheeting upon arrival. For larger rolls, simply unroll to the desired length. Ensure the surface it covers is clean and dry to prevent trapping moisture. Cut to size using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
Compatibility: This sheeting is compatible with most common building materials and garden substrates. It can be secured using heavy-duty tape, staples, or weights depending on the application.
Care: Polythene sheeting is generally for single-use or temporary applications. It is not designed for permanent exposure to UV light without protection. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary, but avoid abrasive cleaners. Dispose of used sheeting responsibly according to local waste management guidelines.
