** SolaWrap Greenhouse film** has been used in Europe for 30 years and has just been introduced to the USA. Since it is new in the US we are working with reputable Universities to trial it in comparison to double blown poly, polycarbonate, and glass greenhouses. We feel that the results will be very interesting for the greenhouse industry as a whole. 

We have started also setting up some interesting trials with some major sized growers all over the United States!
