Why clear sheeting
Opaque containment turns a room into a box. Clear sheeting lets light through, lets occupants and other trades see what is happening, and lets your technicians see out — which matters for safety when equipment is running and cables are on the floor.
It also reads better to a customer. A translucent barrier looks like a controlled work area; black plastic looks like something is being hidden.
Choosing the weight
At 80 micron this is the lighter sheet — easier to handle single-handed and quicker to hang, which suits a barrier that goes up and comes down the same day. For multi-day containment, or a barrier under strong negative pressure, the heavier 100 micron sheet holds up better.
Pre-sized rather than off a roll
A 10 m x 4 m sheet covers a typical room opening with enough to spare for the pole plates and a skirt at the floor. Leave that skirt — a barrier cut flush to the floor lifts and breaks its seal every time someone walks past.
Putting Up a Barrier
- Measure the opening and the ceiling height. A 4 m drop covers ceilings up to about 3.5 m with a floor skirt to spare.
- Set the poles with their head plates holding the sheet to the ceiling — ZipWall 2-pole pack or 4-pole kit.
- Seal the sides and the floor skirt with tape, or with ZipWall side-seal clamps.
- Fit a ZipDoor or zippers for access, and a tacky mat at the exit to keep dust in the work area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it fire retardant?
No fire-retardant rating is stated. If a site or specification requires fire-retardant sheeting, confirm before using it.
80 or 100 micron?
80 micron for quick, same-day barriers and floor protection; the 100 micron roll for multi-day containment and negative pressure.
Can it be reused?
On clean dust work, sometimes. On mould, sewage or asbestos-related work, dispose of it as contaminated waste.
Does it work without ZipWall poles?
Yes — it can be taped up or used as a drop sheet. The poles make a faster, cleaner barrier without fixing into the ceiling.
