What Is Polythene Sheeting?
First, a quick refresher. Polythene sheeting is a strong, flexible plastic material used in construction. Depending on its thickness and grade, it serves a range of purposes:
- Temporary protection for floors, walls, carpets, and other surfaces.
- Encapsulation of areas on-site to create safe workspaces.
- Moisture shielding for materials sensitive to water damage.
- Dust covers to maintain cleanliness during construction or renovation.
Its reputation in the construction world isn’t just about its practicality; it’s also about adherence to safety standards. And this is where fire retardant polythene sheeting, like ours at Indigo Supplies, takes centre stage.
Why Choose Fire Retardant Polythene Sheeting?
Safety first, always. Construction sites are high-risk environments, and using the correct materials can make all the difference. What makes fire retardant polythene sheeting special is that it doesn’t just offer protection; it actively reduces fire-related risks by slowing down its spread should an incident occur.
At Indigo Supplies, all our fire retardant polythene sheets conform to LPS 1207 LPCB Building Regulations, the gold standard in fire safety compliance.
Benefits of Fire Retardant Polythene:
- Complies With UK Building Regulations
Our products meet the necessary safety requirements, ensuring peace of mind on-site and with inspectors.
- Reduces Fire Risks
Minimise hazards on-site while maintaining efficient workspaces.
- Multi-Purpose Use
Beyond safety, it still serves its regular purpose in protecting against dirt, moisture, and dust.

How to Use Polythene Sheeting on Building Sites
Whether you’re a small contractor or managing a major project, efficiency depends on knowing how to make the most of your materials. Here are some tips for using polythene in the smartest ways:
1. Choose the Right Thickness
Thicker sheeting (1000 gauge or more) is ideal for heavy-duty use. For temporary jobs, lighter options (250–500 gauge) might suffice.
2. Install with Safety in Mind
When working with fire retardant polythene, ensure proper signage indicating where these materials have been deployed. Safety audits will thank you for it.
3. Secure It Properly
Tape it down or use weights to keep it in place, especially when working in windy outdoor environments.
4. Reuse Where Possible
Durable sheets like ours often withstand multiple uses, saving you money and reducing waste.
