When it comes to industrial polythene sheeting, not all options are created equal. For projects involving temporary floor protection or safeguarding surfaces during construction and refurbishment, choosing materials that meet the highest safety standards is a no-brainer. That's where fire retardant polythene sheeting conforming to LPS 1207 LPCB regulations steps into the spotlight. Designed with both practicality and safety in mind, this specialised polythene sheeting is an essential asset for construction professionals.
At Indigo, we pride ourselves on being leaders in the supply of industrial polythene rolls of all types and grades. Whether you're undertaking a massive renovation or just need to protect sensitive flooring, we've got the perfect solution tailored to your needs. Here's everything you need to know about fire and flame retardant polythene sheeting and why Indigo should be your go-to supplier.
Why Polythene Sheeting is a Construction Essential
Before we jump into the fire-retardant variety, let's break down why polythene sheeting is such a game-changer in industrial and construction settings. Polythene sheeting (also known as visqueen) is prized for its versatility and durability and is commonly used for:
- Dust and Debris Control: Prevent the chaos of construction dust from infiltrating areas where it shouldn’t go.
- Moisture Protection: Shield unfinished surfaces or materials from excess water or humidity.
- Temporary Coverings: Ideal for shielding floors, furniture, or walls during messy construction or refurbishment tasks.
But not all polythene rolls are equal, especially when flammability and fire safety come into play. That’s where our fire retardant polythene sheeting brings added peace of mind.
What Makes Fire Retardant Polythene Sheeting Stand Out?
Our fire retardant polythene sheeting is not your average plastic roll. It is specifically designed to meet the rigorous safety standards of LPS 1207 LPCB regulations. For those who may not be familiar, LPS 1207 sets the benchmark for fire performance in polythene sheeting materials used on construction sites. LPCB certification (Loss Prevention Certification Board) ensures top-notch reliability and compliance with building regulations.
Here’s why this matters:
- Enhanced Safety: Industry-certified to reduce fire hazards, offering you security and peace of mind on-site.
- Multi-Purpose Usage: These sheets aren’t just safe; they’re also tough. Great for protecting floors, surfaces, and more during projects where sparks might fly (literally).
- Compliance: Keeping up with regulations needn’t be a headache. Fire retardant polythene sheeting ensures you meet building codes without cutting corners.
Did you know one of its most popular applications is temporary floor protection? It’s strong enough to handle the messiest projects and delicate enough not to damage expensive flooring. Win-win.

How to Use Fire Retardant Polythene Sheeting for Maximum Efficiency
Getting the most out of your fire retardant visqueen polythene requires smart application. Here are a few expert tips:
- Use with Temporary Surface Tapes: Pair it with durable, heavy-duty adhesive tapes to secure the sheets in place—even in high-traffic areas.
- Overlap Panels: Overlapping the edges of the sheets ensures complete coverage compared to patchy placements.
- Dispose of Waste Responsibly: Once the project concludes, ensure all used materials are recycled or disposed of according to your local guidelines.
By following these steps, you can keep mess, damage, and potential fire hazards well under control.
