Medium-Reinforced Grade Greenhouse Plastic

• Made in the USA
  
• Commercial Grade
• UV Resistant
• Non-Biodegradable
  
• Tear & Rip Resistant
• High Light Transmission Rate

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.

Understanding the Importance of Greenhouse Plastic Wrap for Optimal Growing Conditions

Greenhouses provide a controlled environment where gardeners and horticulturists can cultivate plants year-round, regardless of external weather conditions. A crucial component of any greenhouse is its covering, which must be both durable and effective in creating the ideal growing environment. One of the best options available is the Greenhouse Plastic Wrap, known for its robust construction and excellent light transmission. Let’s explore why this material is essential for greenhouse success.

The Science Behind Its Durability

The key to the durability of Greenhouse Plastic Wrap lies in its construction. The three-layer design ensures that the material can withstand harsh weather conditions, including strong winds, heavy rain, and even hail. The polyester string reinforcement acts as a structural backbone, preventing tears from spreading and maintaining the integrity of the wrap over time.

Additionally, the inclusion of UV inhibitors in the polyethylene helps protect the material from the damaging effects of the sun. Ultraviolet light can cause many plastics to become brittle and crack over time, but the UV inhibitors used in this wrap significantly slow down this process, extending its lifespan to up to 4 years in outdoor conditions.

Practical Benefits of Greenhouse Plastic Wrap

The Greenhouse Plastic Wrap isn’t just about durability and light management; it also offers several practical advantages:

1. Ease of Installation: The material is lightweight and flexible, making it easy to install over various greenhouse frames, whether they are made of metal, wood, or PVC. It can be cut to fit any shape or size, providing a custom solution for different greenhouse designs.
2. Weather Protection: Beyond light management, the wrap serves as a barrier against wind, rain, and cold temperatures. This protection is vital for extending the growing season and safeguarding delicate plants from sudden weather changes.
3. Energy Efficiency: By helping to maintain a stable internal temperature, the Greenhouse Plastic Wrap reduces the need for supplemental heating or cooling. This can result in significant energy savings, especially during extreme weather conditions.
4. Cost-Effectiveness: With a lifespan of up to 4 years, the Greenhouse Plastic Wrap offers a long-term solution that minimizes the need for frequent replacements. This durability makes it a cost-effective choice for both hobbyists and commercial growers.
