# How is SolaWrap Greenhouse Plastic different than Bubble Wrap

## SolaWrap Bubble Greenhouse Covering VS Bubble Wrap...Are there any differences?

![How is SolaWrap Greenhouse Plastic different than Bubble Wrap](https://www.globalplasticsheeting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/How%20is%20SolaWrap%20Greenhouse%20Plastic%20different%20than%20Bubble%20Wrap-jpg.jpeg?width=428&height=451&name=How%20is%20SolaWrap%20Greenhouse%20Plastic%20different%20than%20Bubble%20Wrap-jpg.jpeg)

 

YES! SolaWrap is 17 mil thick when flattened out and over 1/4" inflated. Normal bubble wrap will have varying thickness' but the biggest difference is the** Ultraviolet Iinhibitors** that** **present in our film which gives it a 5 year UV warranty. 

 

 

**We have structures using the same film for over 30 years without issues. **

 

Another visible difference is how the bubbles in SolaWrap are closed with a 3rd layer of film, helping with thermal gain or loss. Typical bubble film only has two layers which are the outer skin and the bubble. 

 

**In Summary:  
**

• SolaWrap is 17 mil thick  
• SolaWrap is designed for the sun, wind snow for greenhouse growing. It has UV inhibitors.  
• SolaWrap has a 30 year track record withstanding 100 MPH winds and 120 lbs snow loads  
• Solawrap has 3 layer bubbles. It's so tough it's almost impossible to pop. Bubble wrap is more fun to pop

 

## 📏SolaWrap is available in the following sizes:

• 4' Wide x 328' Long

• 5' Wide x 328' Long

• 6' Wide x 328' Long
