Whether you're adding a fresh coat of paint to your walls or using glues and adhesives during a plumbing, carpentry or another DIY project, the last thing you want is to end up with a mess on your floors. Fortunately, you can keep things tidy simply by spreading out polyethylene sheeting or other plastic sheeting before you start your job. Ace Hardware makes it easy to stock up on plastic drop cloths with a wide range of products you can browse online and in stores.
Can You Reuse a Plastic Sheet?
One frequently asked question about colored and clear plastic sheeting is whether you can use it more than once. The answer depends on the nature of your project and the sheeting you purchase. Like drop cloths, heavier plastic sheets may be suitable for cleaning, folding up and reusing again and again. However, thinner plastic sheet products are often designed for single use and can’t be easily cleaned after your project is done.
Plastic Sheeting for Your Projects
When shopping for plastic sheets, considering the following features will help you select the best option for your specific project:
- Thickness: To compare product thicknesses, look at their mil ratings. The greater the number, the thicker the plastic. Plastic sheets that are 3 millimeters or less are light-duty and suitable for use as temporary floor protectors. Thicker 4-millimeter products can provide light weather protection, while plastic sheeting of 6 millimeters and up is the best choice for vapor barriers, moisture barriers and other heavy-duty applications.
- Dimensions: The size of the plastic sheeting will determine how much coverage it provides. Many products come in rolls, so you can cut them to suit your needs.
- Color: Clear plastic sheeting is an affordable, versatile solution, while black plastic sheeting absorbs UV. Other colors of floor protectors, such as green and brown, are available to suit your preferences and needs.
- Leakproof: Choose a leakproof sheeting product for water barriers and messy projects for extra protection.
Other Uses for Floor Protectors
Plastic sheeting is an excellent choice of floor protector for DIY projects, but it also has other uses. Many homeowners and gardeners find black plastic sheeting functions as a landscaping barrier to prevent unwanted growth while working well as a garden pond liner. Because it’s weatherproof and generally puncture-resistant, polyethylene plastic sheeting is also a practical cover for outdoor chopped firewood.
