All of our greenhouse plastics are commercial-grade and are designed for use in both residential & commercial greenhouse installations. Our greenhouse plastics are designed for years of continuous use in the designated application.

How Are Our Plastics Different?

We only offer commercial-grade greenhouse plastic which is designed specificly for greenhouse installations. Our plastics conform to high quality control standards and are manufactured in the United States not overseas like most of the greenhouse plastics sold online.

Why Purchase a High Quality Greenhouse Plastic?

When building your greenhouse most of the cost of construction is typically put toward labor. Because the plastic acts as the roof of the greenhouse it is very important to not cut corners and choose a plastic that is designed for years of continual use and has been ASTM tested to ensure that the plastic's physical properties are indeed what the seller is claiming. Many "four year plastics" are not engineered to survive four years in real world conditions. Additionally, in a commercial growing application the cost of the plastic is quickly dwarfed by the value of the plants inside. Again, another reason to invest in a high quality plastic.

Clear Plastic for Greenhouses: A Vital Component for Optimal Plant Growth

Greenhouses provide a controlled environment for plants, offering protection from harsh weather, pests, and extreme temperatures. The key to a successful greenhouse is its covering material, and Clear Plastic for Greenhouses stands out as an exceptional choice for both hobbyists and commercial growers. With its robust construction and superior light transmission, this plastic is designed to create the ideal conditions for plant growth and longevity.

Why Choose Clear Plastic for Your Greenhouse?

Selecting the right plastic cover for your greenhouse is crucial, as it directly affects plant health, growth rates, and overall productivity. Clear Plastic for Greenhouses, with its 10 mil reinforced film, offers a blend of durability, light transmission, and UV protection that is difficult to match. Here's why it should be your top choice:

1. Enhanced Durability: The triple-layer construction—featuring two outer polyethylene layers and a molten polyethylene core—provides exceptional strength. Reinforced with polyester strings, this plastic is engineered to resist tears and punctures, making it a reliable option for long-term use.
2. Optimal Light Transmission: Allowing 84% light transmission, this clear plastic ensures your greenhouse is well-lit, promoting healthy plant growth. The ample sunlight penetration supports photosynthesis and helps maintain a consistent internal temperature, which is essential for the development of strong, healthy plants.
3. UV Protection for Longevity: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can degrade many greenhouse materials. However, this plastic is equipped with UV inhibitors that protect it from harmful UV rays, preventing it from becoming brittle and extending its lifespan to up to 4 years.
4. Versatility and Strength: With a thickness of 10 mil, this plastic is both sturdy and flexible. It can withstand harsh weather conditions, such as strong winds and heavy rain, while remaining easy to handle and install.

3. UV Protection for Extended Durability
Clear Plastic for Greenhouses is treated with UV inhibitors that shield it from the sun's damaging rays. This protection prevents the plastic from yellowing, cracking, or becoming brittle over time, ensuring that your greenhouse cover remains effective and attractive for multiple growing seasons.

4. Tear and Puncture Resistance for Longevity
The reinforced polyester strings within the plastic create a grid pattern that significantly enhances its resistance to tears and punctures. This feature is particularly beneficial in areas prone to high winds or where there is a risk of physical impact from tools, debris, or animals.

5. Ease of Installation and Maintenance
Despite its thickness and strength, this clear plastic is lightweight and easy to work with. Its flexibility allows for a tight fit over greenhouse frames, reducing the risk of flapping in the wind. Regular maintenance, such as occasional cleaning with water, will keep the plastic clear and functional, maintaining optimal light transmission.

Practical Applications

Clear Plastic for Greenhouses is a versatile solution suitable for a range of applications:

• Residential Greenhouses: Ideal for backyard gardeners looking to create a controlled environment for growing vegetables, herbs, or flowers year-round.
• Commercial Greenhouses: A durable choice for larger operations that require a long-lasting cover capable of withstanding constant use and exposure to the elements.
• Seasonal Crop Protection: Can be used to create temporary structures for protecting crops during extreme weather conditions, such as early frosts or heavy rains.

Creating the Ideal Greenhouse Environment

A greenhouse’s primary function is to create an optimal environment for plant growth. The choice of covering material plays a significant role in achieving this goal. Clear Plastic for Greenhouses not only provides the necessary light and protection but also ensures that your plants thrive in a stable and nurturing environment.

Whether you're cultivating a small garden at home or managing a large commercial operation, investing in high-quality Clear Plastic for Greenhouses is a smart choice. Its durability, excellent light transmission, and UV protection make it an invaluable component of any successful growing system.
