Thickness Options and
Roll Sizes
Choosing the right grade helps protect your slab and support compliance with project specifications. The Tubeworks offers builders’ plastic in medium-impact and high-impact grades to suit a broad range of Victorian construction conditions.
Medium-Impact vs High-Impact
Film Grades
The Tubeworks offers medium-impact builders’ film, which is 200 µm thick and available in 2 m x 50 m or 4 m x 50 m rolls. This grade is commonly used for standard under-slab vapour barrier applications.
We also offer high-impact builders’ film, which is 300 µm thick and available in 4 m x 25 m or 6 m x 25 m rolls. This grade is suited to applications where additional durability is required, including reactive soil sites, damp-proof course applications, and projects where high-impact film has been specified.
Colours, Widths, and Custom Roll Configurations
Both grades are available in black and clear. Roll widths
up to 6 m can help reduce the number of overlapping joints
on larger residential and commercial pours.

Does Polyethylene Builders’ Film Need to Meet AS2870 in Victoria?
When polyethylene builders’ film is used as a vapour barrier or damp-proof membrane under a concrete slab, it should be installed in accordance with the relevant project specifications and AS 2870 requirements.
Key installation requirements commonly include:
1. Positioning the film to cover the full sub-base beneath the slab.
2. Overlapping all sheet joints by a minimum of 200 mm.
3. Sealing overlaps and penetrations with 50 mm duct tape.
4. Maintaining a continuous seal around service entries and slab edges.
5. Inspecting the film for punctures or tears before concrete is poured.
High-impact 300 µm film may be specified for certain sites or applications where additional strength is required. Always refer to the engineer’s specification or project documentation to confirm the correct grade for your site.
