• 4 year, 6 mil greenhouse film
Solar-Ice is a four-year film that will lower greenhouse temperatures in the daytime heat. Solar-
This leads to healthy, bushy plants while reducing greenhouse temperatures. In addition, there is less risk of plants scorching while achieving an optimum rate of photosynthesis. Solar-Ice creates higher yields and stronger-than-normal root systems, making it a excellent choice for ornamental plants, nursery stock and tomatoes. Greenhouse owners have long contended with the loss of heat from greenhouses during the night and at times of cool weather. That is why high level of thermicity of Solar-Ice is so important. Research conducted in Europe shows that, in greenhouses covered with Solar-Ice, Your workers and customers will enjoy this more comfortable environment and you can expect this will be reflected in productivity, too. |
Consider the benefits
• lowers greenhouse temperature by 9 degrees compared to outside (during summer heat-build season)
• produces higher-yielding plants with stronger than normal root systems
• less demand for watering
• inhibits fungus spore development
• inhibits insect propagation
• comfortable working conditions during harvest season
Compare the performance
As this table illustrates, Solar-Ice provides significant advantages compared to conventional films.
