Use Cases
Moisture Barrier
Builders film is used as a moisture barrier to prevent water and moisture from seeping into buildings or structures. It is often laid on the ground before pouring concrete slabs to protect against rising damp.
Temporary Weather Protection
It can be used to provide temporary weather protection for buildings under construction. This helps shield the site from rain, wind, and other elements that could potentially damage the construction work.
Dust Containment
Builders film can be used to create barriers around construction sites to contain dust and debris. This is especially important in urban areas or near sensitive environments where dust control is a concern.
Temporary Enclosures
It can be used to create temporary enclosures or partitions within a construction site. This might be done to separate different work areas, contain hazards, or provide privacy.
Landscaping and Gardening
In addition to its construction uses, builders film is sometimes employed in landscaping and gardening to line ponds, create weed barriers, or protect plants from frost.
Temporary Floor Covering
Builders film can be used to protect flooring during construction or renovation projects. It acts as a barrier between the construction activities and the finished floor

Installation
When builders film is used as a vapour barrier and or as a damp-proof membrane it must be installed in strict accordance with AS2870.
The sheet shall be placed on the sub base so the bottom surface of the concrete slab is entirely under laid by the film. Joints are to be overlapped by not less than 200mm to ensure continuity, and are continuously taped using 50mm duct tape. Care is to be taken to ensure any penetrations by pipes or services are
sealed to ensure a continuous vapour barrier by tapping with 50mm duct tape or with a minimum 200mm overlap.
