2 mil clear plastic sheeting is an economical lightweight sheet that is often used for painting drop cloths or as a dust barrier. 2 mil is the thinnest mil of visqueen roll availalble. It is lightweight, easy to handle, and used by those who need a lot of visqueen at a low price. 4 mil plastic sheeting is slightly heavier and is used when an inexpensive but sturdy solution is required. Common uses include protecting machinery and equipment, for dust barriers in abatement situations, and for drying chambers. Our 4 mil plastic is also available in virgin 'Ultra Clear' when total transparency and clarity is preferred. Ultra Clear is ideal for winterizing windows; you can still see through clearly while the 4 mil plastic reduces your heating bills. 6 mil plastic sheeting is one of our most popular products, as it is heavy enough to be used as a vapor barrier to block moisture, but light enough to be easy to handle and affordable. Due to its popularity, we offer a listing for 20 bulk rolls with free shipping! That price can't be beat. We also offer 10 mil clear plastic sheeting which is used primarily as a vapor barrier with added thickness and weight, ideal for crawl space encapsulation. It provides superior puncture resistance, impact, and tensile strength for heavy duty applications in which wear and tear is a factor.
You also have the option of woven polyethylene sheeting including black, clear, and flame retardant varieties. Woven sheets are unique in that they allow the wind to pass through, giving the sheet wind resistance, while retaining excellent strength due to the woven bond. Woven plastic sheeting is most commonly used for scaffolding due to its high strength and wind resistance. It is used for greenhouse coverings and temporary weather enclosures and we offer flame retardant options in areas where fire hazards are a concern or a compliance issue. Lastly, woven reinforced polyethylene plastic is used to make heavy duty woven sacks that can carry weighty industrial supplies, as the woven fibers create extra high strength due to many layers.
String reinforced polyethylene sheeting is made from high strength film with tear resistant internal scrim. This plastic sheeting remains flexible in cold weather climates due to the string body. It is also highly tear resistant in applications where rips and punctures are a concern due to the extra support of the scrim. It is commonly used to reinforce storm windows because even if the window blows out, the sturdy and abrasion-resistant poly will hold the gap. It can be used as a tarp, as a weather barrier, for construction and painting jobs, and much more.
We also sell flame retardant plastic sheeting, including white and black. White plastic sheeting is often used for hospitals or school enclosures where flame resistant visqueen is required. At 6 mil and above, white or black plastic sheeting can be used as a vapor barrier. Black flame retardant plastic sheeting is primarily used by haunted houses, where fire code requires flame resistant plastic.
