protective sheeting
Barrier against damage
Protective sheeting is material—typically plastic, canvas, or paper—used to cover and shield surfaces from damage, contamination, or mess.
Painters spread it over floors before work.
Construction sites wrap buildings in it.
We laid down protective sheeting before sanding the floors.
The term emphasizes function over material.
