The Advantages Of Solexx Panels

May 31st, 2006 by scott

There are many advantages to using Solexx panels in your greenhouse.

Solexx panels are specially formulated using a polyethylene blend.  This makes Solexx panels quite a bit more flexible than polycarbonate panels and they can be screwed onto existing greenhouse frames.

Solexx panels are available in 4’X8’ or 4’X12’ sheets.  The Solexx panels are either 3.5 or 5mm thick.  You can also order Solexx covering in continuous rolls up to 1000 feet and this allows you to cover almost any structure.

Solexx panels transmit 70-75% of all available light.  Even though most plants only need 40% light to grow, 70-80% available light is the optimal growing condition.  If it is cloudy you won’t need to worry because when you use Solexx panels your greenhouse will have a nice, soft glow.

Solexx panels diffuse the light evenly throughout the greenhouse.  This eliminates hot spots and shadows.  When the weather warms up, a little less light transmission will help keep your greenhouse from getting too hot.

You won’t need to be concerned about your Solexx panels breaking down in the sun.  Solexx panels are treated with a double UV inhibitor.  Solexx panels have an eight year limited warranty against ultraviolet breakdown.

Cleaning Solexx panels is an easy job.  You can rinse them or simply wipe them clean.  When you wash Solexx panels twice a year with a mild soap you will keep your greenhouse covering clean and maximize light transmission.

Solexx panels are durable and hold up well when it gets cold and even when the snow builds up.  The snow often just slides right off the Solexx panels and the panels will not yellow from exposure to the weather.
