Polyethylene (PE) Sheet / Builder's Film Roll

WHAT IT IS

Polyethylene (PE) sheet — also called builder's film or DPM (damp-proof membrane) — is a low-density or high-density polyethylene roll used on Malaysian construction sites as a vapour barrier under concrete slabs, a curing sheet over fresh pours, temporary weather protection, and concrete protection during finishing work. Common thicknesses are 0.20 mm and 0.25 mm (800–1000 gauge). Typical rolls measure 0.2 mm × 4 m × 50 m or 0.25 mm × 3.66 m × 42.7 m. Available in transparent, black, and blue. An essential, low-cost site consumable stocked by every Malaysian hardware supplier.
