Construction film calculator in square metres

Polyethylene construction film is used as a moisture barrier under floors, to protect materials and furniture, as temporary cover or, in its UV-stabilised version, for polytunnels. To buy the right amount, calculate the area in square metres and add the installation losses.

Area of a roll

Area (m²) = unfolded width (m) × roll length (m)

Example: a roll 4 m wide and 25 m long has 4 × 25 = 100 m².

Watch out for the unfolded width. Wide film is often supplied folded so that it fits on a narrow roll. A roll measuring 1 m along the core may contain 4 m wide film, folded several times. Some films are supplied as a tube or half-tube (J-fold) that is cut and opened out. On the product page, check:

  • the unfolded width (the usable width of the film);
  • the roll length;
  • the total area in m²;
  • the folding method, where applicable.

Compare prices per m², at the same thickness.

How to choose construction film

  • Pick the width: 4.2m or 6.2m; 1 linear metre ordered equals 4.2 or 6.2 square metres of film.
  • Pick the material: virgin LDPE or virgin LDPE Premium for new film, or recycled rLDPE for a more economical option.
  • The whole range is 120 microns thick.
  • Pick the colour: natural or clear for visibility, or blue, black or green depending on the use.

Construction film is used as temporary site protection, to cover materials, insulation or guard against moisture, where a large area per linear metre cuts down the number of joins needed and speeds up work over wide surfaces.
