Greenhouse Polythene Cover

Description

Grekkon Limited’s greenhouse polythene cover is a special plastic film that covers a greenhouse structure to create the greenhouse effect. This is by separating the outside environment from inside to create a controlled warm micro-environment within. Our greenhouse polythene sheeting is specifically manufactured for crop production in every technical way. This includes; the choice of colors, paper thickness, anti-UV block treatment, and the anti-drip qualities. The choice of structure, which is a wooden or a metallic greenhouse has no effect on the type of greenhouse polythene paper. Similarly, the greenhouse design; vented type or tunnel type will not affect the paper color chosen. Your choice of greenhouse polythene cover is determined by the crop grown only
