Clear Polythene

  
XL Polythene

We have recently installed a new re-reeling machine enabling us to supply polythene covers at any length you want. We stock jumbo reels of XL Polythene, the most advanced greenhouse films available today on the market, and we offer a fast delivery service, with a highly competitive price.  

To achieve optimum performance from your tunnel greenhouse you need to select a film with the correct features – such as lifespan, light transmission, thermal effect, condensation etc.
 
‘XL Horticulture’ polytunnel covers are manufactured from 3 layers of polythene film using the latest technology to produce a range of extremely strong and durable products to suit all growers - all supplied with a 4 year guarantee.
XL Superclear 600 HDF
A general purpose UVI/EVA film for use with all hardy stock. This film is actually stronger than conventional 720g films, but offers significant cost savings, whilst incorporating an infra red filter (HDF) to slightly lower the daytime temperature. The HDF also gives 62% scattered light to reduce shadows from the structure so that the plants grow more evenly.
XL Sterilite HDF
A 720g thermal AF anti botrytis/mildew and heat reduction film for use with all heated crops, sun loving stock, propagation houses, and over wintered vegetables. The HDF filter produces 62% scattered light and lower daytime temperatures as with Superclear HDF. The addition of UVA and UVB filters reduces many fungal diseases like mildew and botrytis, whilst the thermic anti-fog additives can give up to a 2° temperature lift on a frosty night and dramatically reduce the amount of condensation on the film. A top of the range film offering significant benefits to virtually every grower.
XL Supergreen
A 720g UVI/EVA temperature reduction film for use with hardy stock that prefer shaded environments. The green filters reduce light transmission to 65% (glt) boosting photosynthesis of plants more receptive to blue spectrum light.
XL Superblue
A 720g UVI/EVA height reducing film for use with bedding plants and HONS that like full sun. The filters in this film modify the wavelengths of PAR light in the near red/far red/blue wavelengths which modifies the growth patterns of plants so that they grow shorter and bushier.
