How to put up plastic sheeting

Plastic sheeting is easy to install onto a surface. You’ll want to start by measuring the space in question and then cutting the sheet to size, making sure that you allow a small overlap at the edges so there is enough material. Clean the surface where the attachment is due to take place to make sure there is good adhesion. You’ll want to use a good adhesive to make sure that the plastic sticks properly to the surface that you’re attaching it to. When fitting, ensure that the sheeting is pulled taut so that wrinkles and sagging can be avoided.

How to secure plastic sheeting

We’d normally recommend an adhesive for this, although other options can work just as well. At The Plastic People we supply a wide range of plastic fittings such as magnetic glazing tape (comes in regular and extreme versions for when the job is tougher!) A range of wall fixings and fixing clips, among other items, plus much more to give you all the securing options you need for your plastic sheets.

Is plastic sheeting recyclable?

Yes, most plastic sheeting is recyclable, though acceptance varies by local programmes and the specific plastic type. Standard plastic sheeting is in a form which many recycling facilities accept, however we would recommend checking the details and material type of your own plastic sheeting against the requirements of your local recycling centre to be on the safe side. Contaminated sheeting, for example sheets used for construction debris or containing paint, chemicals, or other substances cannot be recycled and must be disposed of as general waste. Clean, uncontaminated plastic sheeting should be rolled or folded neatly when presenting it for collection.
