Building wrap is an integral part of building construction and renovation projects. Building wraps, construction tarps, and scaffold sheeting are used on building construction and renovation projects to create temporary weather barriers, contain dust & debris, improve heating efficiency, prevent moisture & mildew buildup, and more. There are multiple different types of building wrap, each of which has different uses. Below, we’ll cover some of the most popular types of building wraps to give you an idea of which type is right for your next construction project!

Scaffold Sheeting
Scaffold sheeting is designed to wrap around and enclose the scaffolding on the exterior of a building, creating a barrier that will protect employees and the work area from the elements, including wind, rain, and snow. There are many different kinds of scaffold sheeting available, each of which may be made from different materials and have different features that will contribute to its durability and usefulness. One common material for scaffold sheeting is Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), which is a lightweight, flexible thermoplastic material. Scaffold sheeting typically includes eyelets or grommets that are used for easy installation from within the scaffolding. Some scaffold sheeting is also fire-retardant, helping to keep employees and job sites safe during construction projects.
Construction Tarps
Construction tarps, also referred to as temporary building enclosures, are similar to scaffold sheeting, with the main difference being that construction tarps are not designed specifically for use on scaffolding. Instead, construction tarps can be used to enclose buildings that are currently undergoing construction or renovation, essentially acting as a temporary wall in order to protect a building’s interior and the employees working on it from weather like rain, snow, sleet, hail, and wind. Construction tarps come in a wide range of sizes and materials, so it’s important to select the size and strength that is appropriate for your specific project.
UV-Resistant Sheeting
UV-Resistant sheeting, often made from Polyethylene (PE), is a type of building wrap that is used to protect employees, materials, and work areas from the potentially-harmful effects of UV rays from sunlight. UV-Resistant sheeting is ideal for outdoor job sites that receive a lot of sunlight, especially during the hot summer months. Without using UV-Resistant sheeting, ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight can degrade and discolor building materials over a prolonged period of time.
