Temporary protective sheeting is an essential part of modern construction and refurbishment projects, providing surface protection for floors, walls, doors, windows, and equipment during building works. At BaseTec, we offer a range of heavy-duty and flame-retardant polythene sheeting solutions to meet the needs of professional contractors and trades.
What Is Temporary Protective Sheeting?
Protective sheeting is typically made from polyethylene (polythene) and comes in a variety of gauges and roll sizes. Designed to create a barrier against dust, debris, spills, moisture, and mechanical damage, these products are ideal for maintaining a clean and damage-free site environment during construction, refurbishment, or decoration.
Available in
standard and
flame-retardant grades, protective sheeting is quick to apply, highly durable, and easy to remove once the job is complete.
