Polytunnel Film
Our manufacturing site in Italy has been manufacturing the highest quality greenhouse and tunnel films for over 50 years. A market leader in many parts of the world, with the latest advanced technology to produce the highest quality films. The site has 35 extrusion lines and can manufacture any type of film to help with any growing conditions.
Made from specialised polythene to maximise your growing conditions, trapping temperature and humidity so your crops can grow in perfect conditions.
Because they maintain growing conditions in this way, polytunnels are excellent for growing crops out of season. They are also used increasingly in floriculture, enabling growers to produce a wide range of produce.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the polytunnel film withstand extreme weather events?
Our polytunnel films are designed to withstand most extreme weather events, including high winds, heavy rain, snow load, and temperature fluctuations. The films feature reinforced outer layers and UV stabilization to prevent degradation. Properly constructed tunnels using our films have proven reliable in storms and extreme conditions.
How much light do the films transmit?
The films transmit over 90% of visible light to optimize light levels for plant growth. The clear, anti-condensate films provide excellent light transmission across the visible light spectrum.
How long can I expect a polytunnel films to last?
With proper installation and maintenance, you can expect our polytunnel films to last 4-6 years on average. Factors like environmental exposure, structural integrity, and storage when not in use impact lifespan. Following manufacturer guidelines helps maximize durability.
What types of projects are these films intended for?
Polytunnel films allow season extension and protected cultivation of crops including vegetables, fruits, flowers, and herbs. Applications range from commercial farms to backyard greenhouses. The films are commonly used for hoop houses, high tunnels, cold frames, and low tunnels. Their versatility supports diverse agriculture, nursery, and hobby gardening projects.
