C.03 Greenhouse Sub-roof Fabric

Adaptable greenhouse sub-roof fabric. Our light-transmitting fabric offers a haven for crops from temperature extremes and loss of heat through convection. A greenhouse sub-roof creates an insulating “dead air” layer at gutter height that acts as a barrier to heat loss through the greenhouse roof (where 68% of all heat escapes). The fabric also traps and helps to hold radiant heat by reflecting it back towards the crops. The fabric can be made to accept zip-on walls for added heat retention and protection from the elements. When installed gutter to gutter and down the sidewalls, heat ceiling fabrics can reduce the amount of space requiring heat by as much as 30% to 50%.
