Sheet Polythene
Overview
This product is a roll of sheet polythene supplied as a heavy-duty protective film for covering, wrapping and temporary protection tasks. It is listed as 150g sheet polythene with a 22kg roll weight and is supplied in a configurable format (so the exact size/variant you select may differ). Sheet polythene is commonly chosen where you need a flexible, water-resistant barrier that can be cut to length and taped or fixed in place.
At a glance
If you are comparing options, the key identifiers on this listing are the 150g grade and the 22kg roll. These two details help you judge robustness and how much material you are getting per roll.
Key Features
150g grade sheet
The 150g specification indicates a heavier sheet than light dust sheets and thin films, making it suitable for more demanding protection jobs where tearing and punctures are a concern.
Supplied as a roll for easy dispensing
Roll format makes it straightforward to pull out the amount you need, cut cleanly, and store the remainder for later use—ideal for repeat tasks on site or in a workshop.
Water-resistant protective barrier
Polythene sheeting is widely used as a moisture barrier and general-purpose cover to help protect surfaces and items from splashes, damp conditions and dirt during work.
Cut-to-length flexibility
Because it is supplied as sheet material, you can cut pieces to suit the job—small covers for equipment, longer runs for floor protection, or larger sheets for wrapping and temporary screening.
Multi-purpose protection
Suitable for a broad range of protection and containment tasks across building, decorating, warehousing and general packaging workflows.
- 150g sheet polythene for robust temporary protection

150g Sheet Polythene — Full Product Guide
Introduction
Sheet polythene is a staple material for protection and covering because it is quick to deploy, easy to cut, and helps shield surfaces from moisture and dirt. This listing is for a heavier 150g sheet supplied as a 22kg roll, making it a practical choice when you want a more substantial film than lightweight alternatives.
How It Works
Polythene sheeting works as a physical barrier. Once laid over a surface or wrapped around an item, it helps prevent direct contact with dust, debris and splashes. In many temporary protection setups, the sheet is secured using tape, staples, battens or weights (depending on the surface and the job), then removed and disposed of or stored after use.
Materials and Construction
This product is described as sheet polythene. Polythene is valued for being flexible and water-resistant, and for maintaining coverage even over irregular shapes. The 150g grade indicates a heavier sheet designed for more demanding protection tasks.
Coverage and Roll Yield
The roll weight is listed as 22kg. Roll weight is a useful way to compare how much material you receive, especially when different widths or formats are available as variants. If you know the width and the gsm (g/m²), you can estimate approximate coverage; however, because this page can represent multiple variants, coverage will depend on the option selected.
Floor Type Compatibility
Sheet polythene is commonly used as a temporary floor cover on many surfaces. For best results, ensure the floor is clean and dry before laying the sheet, and use a suitable tape at edges and joins to reduce trip hazards and prevent movement. On delicate finishes, always test tape adhesion in an inconspicuous area first.
Health and Safety
- Slip and trip risk: Polythene can be slippery and can move if not secured. Tape down edges and seams and keep walkways clear.
- Work area ventilation: If using in enclosed spaces during decorating or construction work, follow site safety guidance for ventilation and access.
- Cutting: Use appropriate cutting tools and a safe cutting surface to avoid injury and to achieve clean edges.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Choose 150g sheet polythene when you want a more robust protective film for repeated handling, larger areas, or environments where lighter sheets may tear. It is particularly useful for:
- Refurbishment and maintenance projects where surfaces need shielding
- Warehousing and storage protection for equipment and stock
- Temporary screening and containment tasks
- General covering and wrapping where water resistance is beneficial
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
For temporary protection, sheet polythene is often used as a consumable. If you intend to reuse it, remove carefully to avoid tearing, fold or roll it for storage, and keep it away from sharp edges that could puncture the film. Store in a dry area to keep the roll in good condition.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
A typical use is protecting a work zone during refurbishment. The sheet is rolled out over the area, trimmed to fit, and taped at edges and overlaps. This creates a quick barrier against dust and splashes, helping reduce clean-up time and protecting underlying surfaces. After the job, the sheet can be removed and disposed of or retained if still serviceable.
Who is it for?
- Decorators and maintenance teams needing quick, robust surface protection
- Contractors and trades working on refurbishment and fit-out projects
- Warehouses and workshops needing flexible protective covering
- Facilities teams managing temporary protection during repairs
