Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Polythene Sheeting is a heavy-duty, 250-micron (1000 gauge) damp proof membrane designed for construction professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts who require high tear resistance and reliable moisture protection. While it offers industry-leading durability and BBA-approved quality for applications ranging from concrete flooring to garden insulation, its heavy-duty nature can make it somewhat stiff and challenging to handle in tight, precision-based indoor projects.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this sheeting suitable for use under concrete floors?

Yes, it is a BBA-approved damp proof membrane, making it suitable for under-slab moisture protection.

Can I use this for greenhouse insulation?

Absolutely, the heavy-duty nature provides an effective thermal and wind barrier for greenhouses.

Is the material UV resistant?

While durable, it is primarily designed for construction and moisture protection; extended exposure to intense direct sunlight may degrade the material over time.

What does 1000 gauge mean?

Gauge is a measure of thickness; 1000 gauge is equivalent to 250 microns, indicating a very robust and thick plastic sheet.

How do I cut the sheeting to size?

A sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors can be used to cut the material to the desired dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Sheeting is difficult to unfold due to size and thickness

Unfold the sheet on a clean, open area of the floor and use a second person to help stretch and position it.

Tape is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface of the sheeting is completely dry and free of dust or oils before applying the tape.

Small punctures found during installation

Use a patch of the same sheeting material and high-grade waterproof tape to seal the puncture completely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High tensile strength and tear resistance
  • BBA-certified for professional damp proofing
  • Suitable for a wide variety of construction and landscaping tasks
  • Excellent moisture barrier properties
  • Manufactured in the UK

Cons

  • Material is stiff due to 1000 gauge thickness
  • Bulkier than standard plastic drop cloths
  • May require heavy-duty adhesives for complex sealing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When installing the Pegdev sheeting as a damp proof membrane (DPM), ensure the surface is clear of sharp debris that might compromise the seal. Overlap seams by at least 150mm and use appropriate high-tack DPM tape to ensure a continuous barrier. For outdoor applications, secure the edges using ground staples or heavy weights to prevent wind-lifting. The sheeting does not require special cleaning; simply wipe down with a damp cloth if it becomes heavily soiled. Store the product in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the polymer over time.
