 Break out the Bubbly! With SolaWrap you will be toasting to your successful greenhouse!

Greenhouse extrusion SolaWrap

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

SolaWrap extends your growing season and peace of mind because it is the "One and Done" film!

Meet the greenhouse plastic covering called,

SolaWrap greenhouse  film (with bubbles) is a revolutionary polyethylene film that saves energy, offers UV protection, durability with transparency and extends the growing season. The unique bubble design is what allows SolaWrap the capability to allow for year-round production at a fraction of the cost of traditional greenhouse films. 

It's an insulated film that 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.

SolaWrap 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. This allows you to save money.

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 and burning glass effects.

High Resilience- That's what makes SolaWrap SolaWrap!

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 Greenhouse Cover

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 storm of the century in 1999, had no adverse effects on the film.

10 Year Long-term UV Stability

GPS guarantees the 10 year UV stability of SolaWrap 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. Download Installation Instructions

Trouble-free Recycling- Yes you may recycle SolaWrap!

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  24 hour day. Plants aren't shocked by the rapid temperature changes. In a 6 mil house, that film lacks the insulating properties of SolaWrap.
  • 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 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."

 Question: Can SolaWrap be used for Solar dryer houses

Answer: Yes!  We have already built solar dryer houses for wood, biomass, sludge etc. 
 
What has been done is, SolaWrap was installed in a double layer on the roof and we used black film in-between to collect heat and heat up the air in-between the films. then, the air was continuously cycled to the inside of the house to heat up the unit and dry the product.
 
You can also use single layer installation and use the sunlight that comes into the house through the transparent film. Most UV light is blocked out. the transmittance increases >350nm so almost no UV light gets inside of your house.
