Solexx can be purchased by the foot to meet your exact needs

This greenhouse material is absolutely fantastic and can be used in many ways. Unlike poly carbonate, Solexx is easy to shape, does not crack or shatter and can be adapted to almost any shape you need. It is as easy as cardboard to shape and has a fantastic insulation value.

Glass greenhouse panels let in intense direct light that creates hot spots and will burn your plants. Polycarbonate greenhouse covering is an improvement but still only partially diffuses the light leaving your plants vulnerable to sunscald. With the diffused light of Solexx greenhouse panels, your plants will not suffer sunburn and as a result they will be healthier and grow more vigorously.

The unique Solexx greenhouse covering transmits 70-75 percent of the available light. Most plants only need 40 percent light to grow, but 70-80 percent available light is the optimal growing range. Even on cloudy days, your greenhouse has a pleasant, soft glow inside. The panels diffuse the light evenly throughout the greenhouse eliminating “hot spots” and shadows. Also, a bit less light transmission will help to keep your greenhouse from getting too hot during warm weather.

Solexx panels are treated with a double UV inhibitor during the extrusion process. The covering has an ten-year limited warranty against ultraviolet breakdown and is tested and certified by an independent lab. Solexx greenhouses have been in the field for well over fifteen years and there has been minimal UV degradation. All plastics do eventually break down when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time; however, these panels are easy and inexpensive to replace.

Solexx paneling can be rinsed or wiped clean without worry of scratching. The panels are impervious to chemicals so you can wash them with a mild soap. It’s a good idea to do this a couple times a year to keep your greenhouse clean and to maximize light transmission.

Solexx panels are very durable. Solexx greenhouses have been undamaged after being covered in several feet of snow and exposed to subzero temperatures for most of the winter. Snow tends to slide right off of the slick paneling material. Unlike many greenhouse materials, our panels will not yellow from the sun or cold.

Solexx greenhouses are made with polyethylene. Polyethylene is much more flexible and is easy to cut to any size. Polycarbonate panels tend to be thicker, but have a lowerinsulation factor than polyethylene. Both materials diffuse light, but polycarbonate diffuses less (because it is more transparent), making the greenhouses much hotter in the summer. Polyethylene is very easy to clean and will not scratch like polycarbonate.

Solexx panels can be cut with a simple utility knife. Because the material is so flexible, it’s also possible to bend it around many curves and corners on a structure.

Available Sizes

• 3.5mm 24.75″ Wide
• 3.5mm 49.5″ Wide
• 5mm 49.5″ Wide

Air gaps give extra insulation

R-Value - the measurement of ‘insulating ability’ of the material. The higher the R-Value number the greater the insulation value.

U-Value - the measurement of ‘heat loss’ through the material. The lower the U-Value the less heat is escaping.
