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.

Unveiling the Benefits of Greenhouse Plastic Roll: A Robust Solution for Greenhouse Protection

Greenhouse cultivation is an art and science that requires the perfect balance of temperature, humidity, and light. Achieving this balance often hinges on choosing the right covering material. One standout option is the Greenhouse Plastic Roll, a reinforced plastic film that not only protects your greenhouse from harsh weather but also creates an ideal environment for plant growth. In this blog, we delve into the features, benefits, and installation tips for this high-performance greenhouse covering.

What is Greenhouse Plastic Roll?

The Greenhouse Plastic Roll is a premium-grade covering material specifically designed for greenhouses. It is constructed from 10 mil reinforced polyethylene, consisting of two layers of durable polyethylene with a molten polyethylene core in between. This advanced construction is further enhanced with heavy-duty polyester string reinforcement, giving it exceptional tear resistance and longevity. This innovative design makes it one of the most durable and reliable greenhouse coverings available on the market.

Key Features of Greenhouse Plastic Roll

1. Enhanced Durability and Longevity
The 10 mil thickness of the Greenhouse Plastic Roll provides robust protection against environmental factors such as strong winds, heavy rain, and even hail. The addition of polyester string reinforcement significantly reduces the risk of tears and punctures, ensuring that the film remains intact even in adverse conditions. This durability translates to a lifespan of up to four years, making it a cost-effective choice for long-term greenhouse applications.

2. UV Protection for Extended Life
Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can cause standard plastic films to degrade over time, leading to brittleness and reduced performance. The Greenhouse Plastic Roll is engineered with advanced UV inhibitors that protect the film from sun damage, preserving its strength and flexibility throughout its lifespan. This UV protection not only extends the life of the film but also helps maintain a stable growing environment by preventing fluctuations in light transmission.

3. Optimal Light Transmission
Light is a crucial element for photosynthesis, and the Greenhouse Plastic Roll is designed to allow 84% light transmission. This high level of light penetration ensures that plants receive ample sunlight, promoting healthy growth and maximizing photosynthetic activity. The film’s semi-diffused nature also helps to distribute light evenly throughout the greenhouse, reducing the risk of hotspots and ensuring uniform growth conditions.

4. Moisture and Thermal Control
Maintaining the right humidity and temperature levels is essential for plant health. The Greenhouse Plastic Roll’s polyethylene layers offer excellent moisture control, minimizing the risk of condensation build-up that can lead to mold and fungal growth. Additionally, its thermal properties help regulate internal temperatures, providing a stable environment that protects plants from temperature extremes.

Why Choose Greenhouse Plastic Roll?

Selecting the right greenhouse covering material is a critical decision that impacts plant health and operational costs. Here’s why the Greenhouse Plastic Roll is a preferred choice among growers:

• Resilience Against Harsh Weather: Its reinforced structure and polyester string reinforcement make it highly resistant to tears and punctures, ensuring that your greenhouse remains protected even in severe weather conditions.
• Extended Product Life: The combination of heavy-duty construction and UV inhibitors results in a long-lasting film that doesn’t need frequent replacement, offering significant savings over time.
• Improved Plant Growth: With 84% light transmission and effective moisture control, this film creates an optimal growing environment, enhancing plant growth and productivity.
• Versatility: The Greenhouse Plastic Roll is suitable for various greenhouse types and sizes, making it a versatile option for both small-scale gardeners and large commercial operations.

Installation Tips for Greenhouse Plastic Roll

Proper installation is key to maximizing the performance and lifespan of the Greenhouse Plastic Roll. Here are some essential tips to ensure a successful setup:

1. Measure and Cut Precisely: Measure your greenhouse frame carefully before cutting the roll to size. Leave an extra 6-12 inches on each side to allow for secure attachment and to accommodate any stretching or movement of the film.
2. Prepare the Frame: Inspect the greenhouse frame for any sharp edges or rough spots that could tear the plastic. Cover these areas with protective tape or padding to prevent damage during installation.

3. Choose the Right Day: Install the film on a calm, mild day. Windy or extremely cold weather can complicate the installation process, making it difficult to achieve a smooth, tight fit.
4. Secure the Film Tightly: Use clips, batten tape, or wiggle wire to fasten the film to the greenhouse frame. Start by securing the long sides first, then stretch the film over the top and secure the short sides. Ensure the film is taut to prevent flapping or sagging, which could cause wear over time.
5. Check for Proper Ventilation: Once installed, check for any areas where air or moisture might accumulate. Proper ventilation is crucial to maintaining a healthy growing environment, so make adjustments as needed to ensure adequate airflow.

Conclusion

The Greenhouse Plastic Roll is more than just a protective covering; it’s an investment in the health and productivity of your greenhouse plants. With its reinforced construction, UV protection, and excellent light transmission, this film provides a durable and effective solution for creating an optimal growing environment. Whether you’re starting a new greenhouse or upgrading an existing structure, choosing the Greenhouse Plastic Roll means choosing quality and performance that you can rely on for years to come.
