500G Polythene Heavy 3.6Mx15M Builders Film

Whether you are pouring concrete on a fresh job site, tackling a messy domestic plastering overhaul, or needing to seal open roof rafters against an incoming Atlantic downpour, having a roll of 500G Polythene Heavy Builders Film on the van is an absolute lifesaver. Sized at an expansive 3.6 metres wide by 15 metres long, this heavy-duty polythene roll gives you an impressive 54 square metres of continuous, waterproof barrier protection designed to withstand the tough conditions of Irish construction and home renovations.

What makes this 500G Polythene Heavy Builders Film the go-to grade for builders, landscapers, and serious DIYers is its tear-resistant 125-micron (500 gauge) thickness. Far heavier and more durable than flimsy painter's dust sheets, it won’t puncture or shred the moment a boot walks over it or a breeze catches it across scaffolding. It functions brilliantly as a temporary damp-proof membrane under timber sub-floors, an airtight dust partition between rooms during messy demolition, or a reliable protective tarp to keep stacks of timber, bags of cement, and gravel dry outside in the yard. Suppled in a compact centre-folded roll, it fits easily into the back of an estate or work van and unrolls smoothly across wide work areas.

You can call out to our trade counter right here in Loughrea to grab a roll before heading onto site. While you are stocking up on building supplies, make sure to take a look through our full range of Hardware & DIY for heavy-duty duct tapes and adhesive sealants, browse our Paints & Woodcare for rollers and trade brushes, or explore our Garden Power Tools if your site cleanup needs an upgrade. Tough, flexible, and completely impermeable to water, this 500G Polythene Heavy Builders Film gives you dependable barrier protection you can trust on any project.

Q&A Section:Q: Can this 500-gauge polythene be used as a permanent damp-proof membrane (DPM) under concrete slabs? A: While 500 gauge (125 micron) is ideal for temporary damp protection, gravel underlays, and sub-floor lining, structural concrete floor foundations in Irish building regulations generally require a heavier 1200-gauge certified DPM. This 500G film is intended primarily for site protection, temporary weather-tightness, and decorating screens.

Q: Is the roll awkward to carry at 3.6 metres wide? A: Not at all. The film is manufactured with a centre-fold system, meaning the 3.6-metre width is neatly folded down to a practical 90cm or 1m roll length, making it very easy to fit across the back seat or boot of a standard car.

Q: Can I join two sheets together if I need wider coverage? A: Yes, you can overlap adjoining sheets by at least 150mm to 300mm and seal the seam firmly with heavy-duty polythene joining tape or all-weather duct tape to ensure a continuous waterproof seal.
