Is all Rolled Plastic Sheeting The Same? Why is Some Types More Expensive?
Flexible polyethylene sheeting is widely available from a variety of suppliers and retailers, including home improvement stores, building supply stores, and online retailers. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a supplier for flexible polyethylene sheeting:
-
Quality: Look for a supplier that offers high-quality sheeting that is designed for your specific application. Make sure that the sheeting is made from durable, puncture-resistant materials that are suitable for your intended use. "Virgin Resin" is the "best" plastic sheeting when the quality is paramount. This means there isn't any 'reground" plastic in there that can weaken the film.
-
Price: Compare prices from multiple suppliers to ensure that you are getting a fair and competitive price. Keep in mind that the cheapest option may not always be the best option in terms of quality and durability.
-
Availability: Check to see if the supplier has the sizes and colors of sheeting that you need in stock, and make sure that they can deliver the sheeting to your location in a timely manner.
-
Customer service: Look for a supplier that offers good customer service, including responsive communication and a willingness to answer any questions or concerns that you may have.
-
Environmental sustainability: Consider whether the supplier offers sheeting that is made from recycled materials or uses eco-friendly manufacturing processes.
When purchasing flexible polyethylene sheeting, be sure to carefully read the product specifications and instructions to ensure that you are selecting the appropriate sheeting for your intended use. Do some research from a company that specialized in selling plastic sheeting before you decide on what you need. Often big box stores hire hourly employees who are not trained in resin attributes.
