\"How<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For commercial growers, improving energy efficiency in the greenhouse is a priority. Adopting high-efficiency retrofitting measures can significantly reduce operational costs while simultaneously improving crop yields. Investing in a modern greenhouse cover material will provide a competitive edge for your business now and over time. Keep reading to explore how you can make the most of an existing greenhouse structure by retrofitting it with high efficiency greenhouse covering that will keep temperatures within ideal ranges while saving money on utilities year-round.<\/p>\n

A more energy-efficient greenhouse cover material equals more profit<\/h2>\n

When researching the best materials for your greenhouse frame, consider investing in Solexx<\/a>. This semi-rigid insulated cladding helps keep heated air inside your greenhouse, so energy use is lower than if you had used a standard plastic film or triple-wall polycarbonate. See chart below showing covering options and their insulating ability.<\/p>\n

Retrofit an existing greenhouse frame for even more savings<\/h2>\n

Retrofitting an existing greenhouse with Solexx can be a smart financial decision. Solexx is designed to fit over existing frames, so you don\u2019t have to worry about expensive demolition or construction costs. The durable material also helps stiffen and strengthen your frame for superior protection from wind and snow damage. Solexx will literally turn your old greenhouse from a \u2018poly bag\u2019 into a sturdy building.<\/p>\n

The Solexx greenhouse covering material has a short payback period of as quick as 1.5 years in energy savings (not including all the other cost-saving benefits<\/a>), so you\u2019ll quickly recoup the costs of your investment.<\/p>\n

Here is an example of a customer that recovered an old frame with Solexx. The greenhouse frame seen in the picture was 30 years old.\u00a0 The difference after installing Solexx is \u201cnight and day\u201d according to the grower.<\/p>\n

“It was such a game changer. Winters are much warmer. Solexx has helped on so many fronts. We are getting 3-4 more turns per year. We have no frost issues, no hardening off stress, and no burn issues\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
