sheeting
Flat covering cloth
Sheeting is material in the form of sheets—fabric for bed linens, plastic for covering surfaces, metal for roofing or siding.
The word emphasizes continuous flat material rather than individual pieces: We wrapped the furniture in plastic sheeting before painting.
Sheeting also describes rain falling in sheets—heavy, wind-driven, nearly horizontal: Rain was sheeting against the windows.
