Solexx greenhouse covering benefits growers with its outstanding durability, accelerated plant growth and exceptional insulation properties. Crafted from a twin-wall, corrugated plastic material, Solexx offers superior strength and UV resistance, ensuring a longer lifespan for your greenhouse. As a result, you’ll save money year after year with healthier plants, lower energy bills and a greenhouse that lasts and lasts.
Superior Light Diffusion
Diffuse light is a substantial Solexx greenhouse benefit. Due to it’s transluscent qualities, Solexx produces an even, diffuse light proven to accelerate plant growth by 25%. Light reaches every inch of the greenhouse. Therefore, plants have more light for photosynthesis resulting in more robust growth. The diffuse light leaves no shadows in a Solexx greenhouse. Additionally, on hot days, concentrated light is scattered, eliminating plant leaf burning.
Undeniable Durability
Solexx offers a 10 year limited UV warranty with an even longer life expectancy. It withstands snow, wind, and hail, and Solexx won’t fade or yellow over time. Best of all, Solexx plastic requires very little maintenance. Should you need to replace the Solexx paneling at some time, the panels are readily available and easy to replace.
Most Economical to Heat
Solexx covering benefits growers with its superior insulation to hold in the warmth and keep your heating costs low. Consequently, your plants thrive while you save on energy costs. The chart below outlines the heating costs using different types of greenhouse coverings. Solexx has one of the highest R factors of 2.1R (2.3R for 5mm Solexx) on the market, making it more energy-efficient than the competition. Save hundreds or thousands of dollars over other coverings like polycarbonate, poly film, fiberglass and acrylics.
Greenhouse covering energy-efficiency comparison
The chart shows the yearly cost to heat a specific greenhouse using various types of greenhouse coverings. Comparatively, you can see that Solexx is the least expensive to heat.
Comparison of annual heating costs with various Greenhouse Coverings using Denver, Colorado as the greenhouse location. The 8′ x 12′ greenhouse is kept at a minimum temperature of 45 degrees all year using natural gas at $2 per therm as the heat source. Data was compiled from the USDA Virtual Grower software.
