Greenhouse plastic

One of the fundamental aspects of greenhouses is the use of plastics as an essential material for their subsequent optimal development and with truly visible results.

At MSC Greenhouses, we take this type of material very seriously, which is why today we're explaining the characteristics you should consider before buying a greenhouse or choosing the ideal plastic for your greenhouse.

Key features to consider when choosing greenhouse plastic:

Lightweight: Check that the material is lightweight and easy to handle to fit your greenhouse, but it's also advisable to check its resistance since it will have to withstand periods of strong winds, hail, rain, etc. That's why its lightness and resistance will be one of the keys to the success of our product.

Thermal: Since our plastic will be in direct contact with the sun, the product must be able to conserve thermal energy and have the capacity to filter radiation and allow heat transfer without affecting our crop.

Material: One of the key points is the durability of the plastic; therefore, having a material that protects against UV rays and requires maintenance can extend its lifespan, and if circumstances allow, it could last between 4 and 5 years.

Anti-drip and dust properties: Some products, due to the type of material or their chemical composition, may retain dust and damage the passage of the sun, which is one of the points to consider in their use.

Functionality:
Finally, as a key point, we know that plastics are like a thin layer that allows photosynthesis to take place without harming our crop; therefore, the thinner the better, but at the same time it is good to keep in mind the key points mentioned above.
