Greenhouse Cover

“I like the Solarig covers for their durability. I want to use them on everything I have. The covers have gone through three winters without any apparent damage from ice.”

STRENGTH
This family of greenhouse film exhibits excellent tensile strength and tear strength in excess of that of any other greenhouse poly film on the market by a factor of at least 10 times! (See Picture)

LIGHT TRANSMISSION
Total light transmission in the range of 88% - 90% is comparable with other commercial greenhouse cover poly films.  This is despite the fact that the material is made up of three woven layers.

These woven layers are what gives this greenhouse film material extraordinary strength and creates diffused light.

The complete blocking of UV light by this woven greenhouse cover helps prevent the spread of disease by lowering the incident of insects.  The insects are "Blind" when this light is blocked and keeps them from entering the greenhouse.

Cornell/Penn State High Tunnel Plastic Covering Study 2007 Summary
Light Diffusion improves growth 
FlowerTECH 2007, vol. 10/no. 6  By Silke Hemming and Uko Reinders http://www.hortiworld.nl/flowertech/

DIFFUSED LIGHT
The diffused light characteristics of our greenhouse cover are superior to other plastic greenhouse covers - around 45% as compared to traditional poly films that have only 17%.  This high amount of diffused light gives this greenhouse cover material the following advantages:

  1. Diffused light prevents the formation of strong shadows inside the greenhouse.  This means light is surrounding the plants and flowers instead of just hitting them directly.

  2. Diffused light  helps prevent the plants from getting overheated and burnt.

  3. Diffused light provides a more comfortable climate inside the greenhouse.

  4. Diffused light reduces the amount of water needed for irrigation.


I.R. TREATMENT-SAVES ENERGY & MONEY $$$$
The greenhouse cover material is treated with a special I.R. additive.  This additive helps keep the heat in at night and helps provide a more comfortable temperature during the day.

LIFETIME
This greenhouse cover will last a long time.  Solaroof 172 now has a  6 year warranty.  It will last even longer than that.  The greenhouse cover retains it's strength and transparency in a way that guarantees a long life.  This will reduce the need for costly frequent replacement and will save you time and money. Solarig 140 also carries a 6 year warranty when used as the bottom layer in a double layer system with Solaroof 172 on the top. When used as a single layer Solarig 140 has a four year warranty.

“I love Solarig covers for use on roll-up sidewalls.  The material provides ease and simplicity and holds up well to the abuse of repeated rolling up and down to ventilate greenhouses.”
