Polythene Roll

Polythene Roll

Falcon Link TR stocks a comprehensive range of polythene rolls - polyethylene (PE) film rolls - for construction, packaging, and industrial applications in the UAE. polythene rolls are widely used as dust covers, moisture barriers, surface protection on construction sites, and for wrapping goods during transit. Available in various widths, thicknesses, and roll weights.

polythene polRolls and Polythene Sheets in UAE - Construction and Industrial Supply

Heavy-duty polythene rolls are one of those materials that disappear quietly into a construction project and nobody thinks about them until something goes wrong. When the moisture barrier under a concrete slab fails, when a finished installation gets damaged by rain overnight, or when goods arriving at a UAE warehouse are soaking wet inside the packaging - that is when the importance of specifying the right polythene roll becomes obvious.

Falcon Link TR supplies 1000 gauge and 2000 gauge polythene rolls from its Sharjah warehouse, providing the construction, agricultural, and industrial sectors with consistent gauge accuracy, reliable tensile strength, and competitive wholesale pricing. We stock both clear and black options in standard roll widths and lengths, with custom sizes available for larger requirements.

The Products We Carry

1000 Gauge Polythene (250 micron): This is the standard specification for damp-proof membrane (DPM) beneath concrete floor slabs and raft foundations across UAE construction projects. It meets the requirements of most UAE municipality and engineering consultant specifications for ground floor moisture protection, and it is available in clear and black.

2000 Gauge Polythene (500 micron): Double the thickness of the 1000G, used where conditions are more demanding - underground waterproofing, pond liners, temporary roof protection during construction, and industrial containment where a puncture would cause significant problems.

Clear and Black Polythene Film: Clear film allows light through, making it useful for greenhouse propagation covers, seedling tunnels, and any application where you need to see what is underneath or allow photosynthesis. Black film absorbs heat and blocks light - useful for weed suppression, ground mulching, and applications where light exclusion matters.

Where Polythene Rolls Are Used in the UAE

  • Damp-proof membrane under concrete: The sandy, saline soils in much of the UAE mean that moisture from the ground will migrate upward through concrete slabs unless there is a proper DPM in place. 1000G Polythene laid beneath the slab is the standard solution and has been standard practice on UAE residential and commercial construction for decades.
  • Temporary weather protection on construction sites: When a structure is partially built and rain or humidity is forecast, Polythene sheets go over exposed structural elements, stored materials, and partially installed systems to prevent water ingress and damage.
  • Greenhouse covers and agricultural use: UAE greenhouse operations use polythene film for tunnel covers, drip irrigation channel liners, seedling propagation covers, and mulch film. UV-stabilised grades extend the service life significantly in the UAE sun.
  • Packaging and palletisation: Industrial polythene rolls wrap and seal pallets, machinery, and bulk goods for storage and export from UAE ports, protecting goods from dust, moisture, and handling damage during transit.
  • Painting and plastering protection: Lightweight clear polythene sheeting is stretched over installed fittings, furniture, and floor areas to protect against paint overspray, plaster splatter, and surface contamination during fit-out work.
  • Pool and water feature liners: During construction of swimming pools, water features, and irrigation reservoirs, polythene liner is used as a temporary water-tight barrier while permanent waterproofing is applied.

Why Source Polythene Rolls from Falcon Link TR

  • Gauge consistency - thickness tolerance within tight tolerances across the full roll length
  • Long roll lengths (50m to 100m per roll) to reduce mid-job restarts and material waste
  • Competitive wholesale pricing with volume discounts for bulk orders
  • Fast delivery from Sharjah to all UAE emirates
  • Both clear and black options in standard and heavy-gauge weights

Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge polythene roll is needed for a damp-proof membrane in UAE construction?

For damp-proof membrane (DPM) beneath concrete floor slabs in UAE construction, 1000 gauge (250 micron) polythene is the standard and meets most UAE engineering and municipality specifications. For areas with aggressive saline soils or high groundwater tables - more common in coastal and low-lying areas of Dubai and Abu Dhabi - upgrading to 1200G or 2000G gives additional protection.

What is the difference between 1000 gauge and 2000 gauge polythene?

Gauge measures the thickness of the polythene sheet. 1000 gauge equals 250 microns (0.25mm), and 2000 gauge equals 500 microns (0.5mm). The thicker 2000G sheet is stronger, harder to puncture, and better suited for demanding applications like underground waterproofing, pond liners, and industrial containment where a failure would be difficult to repair.

Do you supply UV-stabilised polythene for outdoor use in UAE?

Yes. Standard polythene degrades relatively quickly under the UAE's intense ultraviolet radiation. For outdoor applications that need to last more than a few weeks - greenhouse covers, agricultural mulch film, or long-term site protection - we supply UV-stabilised polythene that maintains its integrity for a significantly longer period outdoors.

What roll widths and lengths do you stock?

We stock rolls in widths from 2m to 6m and in lengths of 25m, 50m, and 100m as standard. Folded rolls are also available for wider coverage from a narrower reel. If you need a specific size that we do not carry in stock, contact our team and we can usually source it with a short lead time.
