Choose the greenhouse film that offers more

 

When it comes to selecting greenhouse film, North American growers have more options than ever. Having multiple products with many features and benefits to choose from is good news for growers, but can sometimes cause confusion.

 

According to Gustavo Guinea, despite the growing complexity of the greenhouse film marketplace, the fundamentals are actually straightforward.

 

“The first feature you want is strength,” says Gustavo, Sales Manager with AT Films. “The second is energy savings, which with today’s high energy prices, can affect a grower’s profit. Third, you want performance in terms of light diffusion, condensation control and thermal value. And to tie it all together, look for the best warranty.”

 

Gustavo explains that it’s for all these reasons that AT Films has become the preferred  greenhouse film by growers across North America. Whether it’s in the North, South, East or West, growers count on AT Films to provide what they need.

 

1. Strength. “A major difference between AT Films and other films is our unique resin formulation,” says Gustavo. “This is the basis of the stronger mechanical properties that we’re known for and that our customers depend on.”

 

2. Energy savings. There are many issues that impact greenhouse profitability like energy costs. That’s been especially true in recent years, as heating costs have headed up, up, up. AT Films customers spend less on energy, and thus keep more revenue for themselves. Take AT Films “Thermax” product for example. Experience shows that growers save at least 15% on energy costs with Thermax. Savings often range between 20% and 25%.

 

3. All-round performance. Achieving optimal growing conditions inside the greenhouse involves balancing a number of factors. These include light diffusion, condensation control and thermal value. Gustavo explains that AT Films products have superior technical qualities in all three areas.

 

“We offer the best-performing condensation control in the industry,” says Gustavo, “we manufacture film to deliver what the grower needs. Our core recommendation is to have one layer of Thermax on the bottom, then use our Super 4 product as the top layer.”

 

4. It is under warranty! Because of AT Films’ stronger mechanical properties, the company offers a non-prorated warranty against manufacturing defects on 4 year films, 1 year films, and nursery films!

 

Says Gustavo: “AT Films products meet the needs of growers for strength, energy savings, condensation control, and performance in a greenhouse film. And, we stand behind it in writing, with a Non Pro Rated Warrantee.”
