Comparing greenhouse coverings: agrofiber or film?

When choosing a greenhouse cover option, it is very important to consider all the advantages and disadvantages. UAportal compared the effectiveness of using agrofibre and film for these purpose.

Insulation

Agrifiber is more effective in protecting against low temperatures because it retains air and creates a warmer environment. Film, on the other hand, provides better insulation against excessive heat by reflecting sunlight and lowering the temperature in the greenhouse.

Durability

Due to its lightness, agrofibre is prone to tearing during strong winds or heavy rain, so it often requires replacement. Conversely, film demonstrates greater strength and resistance to harsh weather conditions.

This makes it the most durable option for covering greenhouses. In addition, it is resistant to UV radiation, which further increases its durability compared to agrofibre.

Cost-effectiveness

The affordability of agrofibre makes it a cost-effective solution for small greenhouses. Conversely, film may require a larger initial investment, but can lead to long-term savings due to its durability and reflective properties.

Attractiveness

Agrifiber provides a natural and visually appealing look. In contrast, film can have a more technical image, but can also give a greenhouse a modern and sophisticated aesthetic style. In addition, a reflective surface can create a bright look that will maximize the satisfaction.
