All of our greenhouse plastics are commercial-grade and are designed for use in both residential & commercial greenhouse installations. Our greenhouse plastics are designed for years of continuous use in the designated application.

How Are Our Plastics Different?

We only offer commercial-grade greenhouse plastic which is designed specificly for greenhouse installations. Our plastics conform to high quality control standards and are manufactured in the United States not overseas like most of the greenhouse plastics sold online.

Why Purchase a High Quality Greenhouse Plastic?

When building your greenhouse most of the cost of construction is typically put toward labor. Because the plastic acts as the roof of the greenhouse it is very important to not cut corners and choose a plastic that is designed for years of continual use and has been ASTM tested to ensure that the plastic's physical properties are indeed what the seller is claiming. Many "four year plastics" are not engineered to survive four years in real world conditions. Additionally, in a commercial growing application the cost of the plastic is quickly dwarfed by the value of the plants inside. Again, another reason to invest in a high quality plastic.

Why Clear Plastic Sheets Matter for Your Greenhouse

The primary function of a greenhouse is to create a controlled environment that fosters plant growth. Clear plastic sheets play a crucial role in this by providing a barrier against adverse weather conditions, pests, and fluctuating temperatures while allowing sufficient light to reach the plants. The 10 mil reinforced clear plastic sheets are designed to withstand the demands of rigorous use, offering a combination of strength, light diffusion, and UV protection that is unparalleled in the market.

3. UV Protection for Longevity: One of the significant challenges with greenhouse plastics is their vulnerability to UV degradation. The integrated UV protection system in these sheets prevents the material from breaking down when exposed to direct sunlight. This feature extends the life of the sheets to up to 4 years, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

4. Robust Durability: The 10 mil thickness of these sheets, combined with the polyester reinforcement, makes them highly resistant to damage from wind, hail, and other environmental factors. This level of durability is particularly important in regions with extreme weather conditions, where a weaker covering material would quickly deteriorate.

Benefits of Using Clear Plastic Sheets in Greenhouses

1. Enhanced Plant Growth
The primary advantage of using clear plastic sheets in a greenhouse is their ability to promote vigorous plant growth. By allowing 84% of natural sunlight to penetrate, these sheets create an environment where plants can thrive. This high level of light transmission is crucial for photosynthesis, helping plants to develop strong stems, healthy foliage, and abundant blooms.

2. Protection Against Environmental Stressors
These sheets act as a protective barrier, shielding plants from adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, strong winds, and sudden temperature drops. The reinforced construction ensures that the plastic remains intact even in severe weather, providing consistent protection throughout the growing season.

3. Cost-Effectiveness
While the initial investment in high-quality clear plastic sheets may be higher than lower-grade alternatives, the extended lifespan and durability of these sheets make them a cost-effective choice in the long run. The UV protection and resistance to tears reduce the frequency of replacements, saving both time and money.

4. Versatile Applications
Clear plastic sheets are suitable for a wide range of applications, from covering large commercial greenhouses to small-scale hobby gardens. Their flexibility and ease of installation make them a versatile choice for gardeners looking to create an optimal growing environment for a variety of plants.

Storage

If you need to store the sheets for any period, ensure they are clean and dry before rolling them up. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from becoming brittle or damaged.

Choosing the Right Plastic Sheets for Your Greenhouse

When selecting plastic sheets for your greenhouse, consider the specific needs of your plants and growing environment. The 10 mil reinforced clear plastic sheets provide a balanced solution, offering both durability and high light transmission. This makes them ideal for a variety of applications, from vegetable gardens to flower nurseries and commercial operations.

Conclusion

Investing in high-quality Clear Plastic Sheets for Greenhouses is a strategic decision that can significantly enhance your growing results. Their durable, three-layer construction and high light transmission make them an excellent choice for creating a stable, nurturing environment for your plants. Whether you are a professional grower or a dedicated hobbyist, these plastic sheets offer the strength, protection, and performance needed to support successful plant cultivation.
