Polythene Replacement

Why should you consider using polythene sheeting for polytunnels?

Polytunnels are considered a sustainable option for gardeners. If you are a commercial grower and want to yield year-round, polytunnels can be beneficial for you. They are durable and can help grow a variety of crops. The polythene sheeting used for polytunnels has a lifespan. It can be damaged by UV rays but can be recycled. The best quality plastic coverings come with a 7-10-year guarantee against UV degradation. Well-designed, constructed, and properly maintained polytunnels can last for years.

Benefits of using polythene sheeting for polytunnels:

Polytunnels provide ample space for growers to cultivate crops, and the polythene sheeting can be easily adjusted with the frame. The polythene cover protects the plants and maximizes the yield by controlling the environment around the plant. The polythene covers can handle far more wear and tear than regular plastic. Here are some of the benefits of using these covers:

1. UV Absorption:
Polythene sheeting for polytunnels has thermic and light transmission properties. It promotes antioxidants that aid in plant growth. The ultraviolet additive protects the polythene from damage due to extensive weather conditions. The film transmits the full spectrum of UV light that plants naturally receive.

2. Anti-Fog:
This polythene sheeting contains a unique additive called lumisol, which helps control water condensation on the film. It reduces condensation uniformly on the plastic sheet, minimizing the risk of water dripping on the plants. Properly installed, the film has a lifelong anti-fogging effect.

3. Anti-Aging:
Polythene sheeting for polytunnels is made of high-quality content and an anti-aging agent that improves the film's longevity.

4. Diffusion Control:
Manufacturers have started adding light diffusion properties to polythene sheeting. This helps improve the amount of diffused light that reaches crops, reducing the risk of lower leaves being scorched by intense light. It has also been recorded that diffused light reduces fungus spore development and controls pests.
