The best source of greenhouse paper in Kenya is Aqua Hub. Prices for various greenhouse polythene films vary in Kenya. We provide three different greenhouse polythene sheet varieties, each with a different micron count and UV treatment. Both high and low altitude regions can employ greenhouse polythene. In hot regions, a ventilation net is applicable to allow air circulation to aid in cooling. Our polythene sheeting for greenhouses is expertly made with crop production in mind. This covers the color selection, paper thickness, UV protection, and leak resistance. The type of greenhouse polythene paper is unaffected by the choice of structure, whether it is a wooden or a metallic greenhouse. Similar to how the design of the greenhouse—vented or tunnel—will not have an impact on the paper color selected. The crop you grow determines the type of polythene cover you use for your greenhouse.
Greenhouse paper in Kenya
The primary purposes of a greenhouse paper are to keep the inside environment isolated from the outside environment and to transmit as much regulated light as feasible. The cover improves plant growth and light transmission. To increase the cover’s tensile strength, enough light stabilizers are added. Our polythene for greenhouses is UV-protected and extremely strong and durable. They are simple to set up. The polythene covering of the greenhouse offers the crops physical defense against winds, rain, insects, and other natural calamities.

For colder temperatures and higher altitudes, yellow greenhouse films are perfect. They are quite effective at preventing drips and fog. It comes highly recommended for growers of cucumbers and colorful plants, primarily flowers.
Nectarine For farms in high elevations or regions with exceptionally low temperatures, clear or milky white greenhouse films are ideal. At night, they are a little warmer than they are during the day. They are perfect for crops like tomatoes and peppers.

The thickness and treatment of Greenhouse paper in Kenya
Greenhouse polythene paper is available in a variety of gauges, primarily 150, 180, and 200 microns. The most popular plastic films in Kenya are 200 microns thick. A caliper is applicable to determine the precise thickness.
Films made of plastic for agriculture must be UV-stabilized. Better strength is provided by doing this, which also blocks the sun’s harmful rays, extending durability. Non-UV treated films will deteriorate as quickly as feasible. In order to effectively disperse light, bounce the available sunshine, and lessen shadows, it must also be translucent.
