Polythene sheet in the UAE
FEPY sells polythene sheet rolls for construction, curing and protection work in the UAE. Rolls come in 100, 200, 300, 500 and 1000 gauge, 3.6m or 4m wide, in lengths from 5m to 50m. Heavier 1000 gauge sheet is commonly used as a damp-proof membrane under concrete slabs, while lighter gauges suit dust covers, painting protection and temporary sheeting. The page also lists blue polypropylene sheets in 2mm, 3mm and 5mm. Each product shows the gauge, roll size and weight.
How to choose
| Gauge | Approx. thickness | Typical use |

FAQs
What does polythene gauge mean?
Gauge is a measure of thickness. As a rule of thumb, 100 gauge is about 25 microns, so 1000 gauge is about 250 microns. Higher gauge means thicker, stronger sheet.
Which polythene sheet is used under concrete slabs?
1000 gauge polythene is commonly specified as a damp-proof membrane under slabs. Always follow your project specification.
What roll sizes are available?
Rolls are 3.6m or 4m wide, in lengths from 5m to 50m. The product name shows the size and roll weight.
Why do rolls of the same size have different weights?
Weight depends on gauge and length. Check the gauge and weight in the product name to compare rolls.
Do you also sell rigid protection sheets?
Yes. Blue polypropylene sheets 0.9m x 2m are available in 2mm, 3mm and 5mm.
