Understanding Gauge & Micron Thickness
Polythene thickness can be measured using either gauge or microns (mu). Gauge was traditionally used as an imperial measurement, while micron is now the recognised European metric standard.
As a guide:
- 1000 gauge = 250 micron = 0.25mm
- The higher the gauge or micron measurement, the thicker and more durable the polythene sheet
This 500 gauge / 125mu damp proof membrane provides a strong and reliable moisture barrier, offering excellent performance for waterproofing applications where durability and flexibility are essential.
