Know before you buy
The 6 mil thickness is the industry standard for professional-grade greenhouse film, providing a balance between structural integrity and light transmission. It is thick enough to resist tears from wind and debris while remaining flexible enough for easier installation.
The anti-dust coating helps prevent dirt and debris from adhering to the surface of the film. This ensures that the plastic maintains its high light transmittance over time, preventing your greenhouse from becoming dim or dingy as it ages.
Light diffusion scatters incoming sunlight, which helps eliminate harsh shadows and hot spots inside the greenhouse. By spreading light more evenly, it ensures that all parts of your plants receive consistent exposure, which reduces the risk of leaf scorch and promotes uniform growth.
No, you should avoid direct contact between this greenhouse plastic and PVC materials. Chemical reactions between the two can cause the plastic to degrade prematurely, so it is recommended to use a barrier like greenhouse tape or furring strips if your frame is made of PVC.
The 4-year warranty specifically covers UV degradation, which is the breakdown of the plastic caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight. It ensures that the film will retain its structural integrity and light-transmitting properties for the duration of the warranty period under normal use.
