The Bubble Plastic for the Greenhouse SolaWrap Greenhouse : Plastic Bulk Rolls
SolaWrap guarantees an even light diffusion over the entire greenhouse. 83% of sunlight diffuses through more than 100 air bubbles per square foot. 30% is healthy infrared light. This even diffusion spreads evenly thus avoiding shading and burning areas, and the results are faster growing healthy plants.

SolaWrap Is Available In The Following Sizes:
- 4' x 328'
- 5' x 328'
- 6' x 328'
SolaWrap has a 5 year warranty against UV degradation. For over 40 years, this product has not deteriorated, changed color, or become foggy or streaked. Used as greenhouse roofing or walls, SolaWrap is waterproof, and airtight. It has withstood hailstorms, snowstorms, hurricane winds and both hot and cold snaps. Customers report picking strawberries inside the greenhouse, while the temperatures outside are -30 degrees Celsius. This same greenhouse withstood snows, 70 mile-per-hour winds and violent hailstorms. Bottom line is, this greenhouse plastic is S T R O N G!
Installation:
Solawrap is a flexible polyethylene greenhouse plastic that is easily installed! You can cut it with a knife or scissors, and it's completely recyclable and can be safely incinerated. Our patent pending slide and lock technology is quick, safe and easy to use.
Roll Sizes:
Rolls come in 4', 5' and 6' widths by 328' long.
Meet the greenhouse plastic covering called SolaWrap:
SolaWrap greenhouse film is a revolutionary polyethylene film that saves energy, offers UV protection, and durability. The unique bubble design is what allows SolaWrap to facilitate year-round production at a fraction of the cost of traditional greenhouse films.
It's insulation withstands the most extreme climates. SolaWrap has a track record for over 40 years of testing in the Swiss Alps, the Middle East, and across Europe. It provides an insulating effect that retains up to 95% of heat radiation while providing an R-value of 1.7. This energy savings is significant!
SolaWrap Significant Energy Savings:
Thanks to its distinctive insulation properties (thermal conductivity value of 3.3 W/sq. m.K), SolaWrap offers a high level of energy efficiency. Its construction principle (air bubbles, keder, profile) prevents any leaks or thermal bridges, so that up to 95% of the heat radiation can be retained.
High Transparency:
SolaWrap greenhouse plastic guarantees the uniform illumination of the entire horticultural area. At the same time, the air cushion bubbles (1,000 bubbles per sq. m.) ensure a diffuse illumination inside. This prevents the formation of shade or high heat concentration.
High Resilience:
Another plus point of the film is its high resilience. Unlike some other films, SolaWrap can withstand the standardized drop weight test without any consequences. Due to its high quality, it can bear high surface loads by sectioning off the roof surface.
Weatherproof:
SolaWrap represents the highest degree of security for a greenhouse cover. Experience has shown that the horticultural area is well-protected, even in the event of hail, snow or high winds. Even “Lothar”, the European cyclone of the century in 1999, had no adverse effects on the film.
5 Year Long-term UV Stability:
SolaWrap comes equipped with a 5 year UV stability at 100 Kly/y. Even under the most severe climatic conditions, no changes in color or clouding will occur, and the film will not weaken in any way.
Easy Installation:
SolaWrap can be easily cut with a knife or scissors. The low weight of the strips of keder allows for simple installation and simple replacement of old or defective sections.
Trouble-free Recycling:
SolaWrap is a polyethylene film that can be completely recycled in an environmentally-friendly manner or thermally reused in secure fashion.
The differences between SolaWrap and a 6 mil film are significant:
- Temperature Change: In a SolaWrap house you don't have dramatic temperature changes during the 24 hour day, and plants won't be shocked by the rapid temperature changes.
- 3 Kinds Of Light: In a SolaWrap greenhouse the bubble/ film gives you diffused, refracted, and direct sunlight.
What about a cost saving when growing medical cannabis:
According to the INC report:
"Growing cannabis within the greenhouse enables almost the same yield at four to six harvests per year, but at a lesser cost. The cultivators reported that cannabis cultivated in the greenhouse can produce a pound of weed at a US$50 (AU$64) cost, when indoor cultivation needs US$300 to US$500 (AU$384 to AU$640) for the same yield."
