FAQs

What does 'DPM' stand for?

DPM stands for Damp Proof Membrane, a material used to prevent moisture from passing through concrete floors and walls.

Is this sheeting suitable for outdoor use long-term?

While durable, prolonged direct UV exposure can degrade polythene over time. For long-term outdoor applications, consider UV-stabilized products or protective coverings.

Can I cut this sheeting to size?

Yes, the sheeting can be easily cut to the required size using sharp scissors, a utility knife, or a cutting blade.

What is the difference between Micron and Gauge?

Micron and Gauge are units of thickness measurement. 250 Micron is equivalent to 1000 Gauge, indicating a thick and heavy-duty material.

Is this product environmentally friendly?

Polythene can be recycled in many areas, but its environmental impact depends on manufacturing processes and end-of-life disposal. It is manufactured in the UK.

How should I store the sheeting when not in use?

Store the sheeting rolled or folded in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects, to prevent damage and degradation.

Can this be used as a pond liner?

While strong, this sheeting is not specifically designed or certified as a pond liner. For ponds, it is recommended to use specialized pond liner materials.

Troubleshooting

Sheeting is creased or folded upon arrival (sizes over 3m).

Carefully unfold the sheeting and lay it flat in a warm environment for a short period to allow creases to relax. For immediate use, flatten manually as much as possible.

Minor tears or punctures.

Repair small tears or punctures using a compatible heavy-duty polythene tape or patch. Ensure the repaired area is smooth and well-adhered.

Sheeting does not lay flat.

Ensure the surface underneath is even. Use weights or temporary fixings to hold the edges down until the sheeting settles into place, especially in windy conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unfold the sheeting carefully. For larger sizes sent as rolls, unroll to the desired length. Secure the sheeting using appropriate methods for your application, such as tape, weights, or fixings. Ensure edges overlap sufficiently when joining pieces to maintain a continuous barrier.

Compatibility: This sheeting is compatible with most standard construction and landscaping materials. It is designed for use as a membrane and protective cover. Ensure surfaces are clean and free of sharp objects before laying to prevent damage.
