THERMAGLAS™ Condensation Control Multiwall Polycarbonate

Built-in condensation control for commercial greenhouse applications

THERMAGLAS multiwall polycarbonate offers the same light transmission, rigidity, durability, insulation, and co-extruded UV protection as standard SUNLITE, and features built-in condensation control. Palram’s proprietary condensate control technology helps maximize light transmission by minimizing condensation droplet formation that would otherwise reflect valuable sunlight. By reducing condensate drip, moisture-related diseases are minimized, improving your crop quality and yield.

 

THERMAGLAS  can be used for gable-peak, arch, and most gothic arch style structures; as well as retrofit glass, polyfilm, and fiberglass-covered structures. It's an excellent solution for applications as diverse as production, propagation, holding areas, and retail garden centers.
