$15.40 - $59.95Polyethylene film is used in many applications in construction. Our Construction films are selected to suit these applications. We stock many of the sizes and gauges.
Light Poly
Used for covering items from moisture and landscaping.
MEDIUM AND HEAVY POLY
Can be used for under gravel and protection from moisture.
Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) vapour barrier
Vapour barrier protects homes by preventing water vapour from escaping from the building envelope. Leaking vapour barrier can lead to condensation in the walls and wood rot. In Canada the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) developed a standard for greatly improved vapour barrier that is now a requirement of the building code for new home construction. Film made to meet the requirements of CAN/CGSB-51.34-M8 has clearly defined and tested properties which can only be achieved with first quality ingredients and careful manufacture and testing. The film also needs to contain stabilizers that are designed to ensure that the film will last the lifetime of the house.

- A CDN building code requirement
- CGSB: certified since 1988
- Clear in Colour
Applications
- Wall and ceiling vapour barrier
- Foundation damp-proofing
- Sill and plate poly
- Eaves protection
