Solexx Greenhouses

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solexx is a unique twin-wall greenhouse covering material. 

The revolutionary panels provide the most diffused light-
the best light for plants! 
 
Solexx home gardening greenhouse kits and greenhouse
equipment and supplies are sold in every state throughout
Hobby greenhouse growers love Solexx greenhouses for
their amazing strength and most of all for the quality growth
their plants receive from the diffused light of the Solexx
greenhouse covering. 

  


 

Solexx greenhouse panels keep plants happy!

Glass and polycarbonate greenhouse coverings will not protect your plants from the suns burning rays. With the diffused light of Solexx greenhouse panels, your plants will not suffer from sunburn.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Glass greenhouse panels let in intense direct light that creates hot spots and will

burn your plants. Polycarbonate greenhouse covering is an improvement but still

only partially diffuses the light leaving your plants vulnerable to sunscald. With the

diffused light of Solexx greenhouse panels, your plants will not suffer sunburn and

as a result they will be healthier and grow more vigorously.

 

The perfect greenhouse covering: diffused

light, insulated, easy-to-install, strong and

affordable!

 

 Insulated twin-wall Solexx™ greenhouse panels reduce your heating costs while

providing 70-77% soft, diffused light - the best light for plants! The strong,

shatter-proof greenhouse glazing protects your plants from strong winds, snow

and other harsh weather conditions. Unlike other twin-wall greenhouse coverings,

the flexible paneling can be bent around corners and easily cut with a utility knife.

 

 Solexx twin wall greenhouse covering              Solexx is easy to apply to your greenhouse frame. Just slide it over the frame and attach. Minimal seams!

 Solexx™ XP and Solexx™ Pro greenhouse coverings are now available in rolls up to

1000' long, so it is easy for you to re-cover just about any structure!

  • Strong and shatter proof greenhouse covering protects against wind and snow.

 

  • Solexx™ greenhouse panels diffuse the light throughout the greenhouse for optimal

R Factor - the measurement of ‘insulating ability’ of the material. The higher the R Factor

number the greater the insulation value.


U Value - the measurement of ‘heat loss’ through the material. The lower the U Value

the less heat is escaping.

The Frame

  • A combination of composite tubing (the same material used to make bridges), steel fittings, and PVC provides
         superior strength and stability against wind and snow.

  • White frame reflects the greenhouse light - sending more light back to your plants. Dark frames absorb the light.

  • Color-coded, pre-cut greenhouse frame makes assembly easy.

Greenhouse benches and hanging rods included


  • Each wide, strong full length shelf holds up to 500 lbs so you can fit a lot of plants in a small area.

  • Steel-reinforced hanging rods run the length of the greenhouse giving you the perfect spot to overwinter your hanging baskets!

  Built-in bench frames give you more growing area than any other greenhouse on the market!               Put up to 200 pounds on each steel-reinforced hanging rod.

 

Ventilation for healthy plants!

  • An large 24" x 12" Easy Flow Louver is included with each greenhouse for ventilation.

Drinking Water Contaminated with Drugs

AP Investigation Finds Drinking Water Contaminated With Drugs

By: Drucilla Dyess
Published: Thursday, 13 March 2008

According to several news sources on March 9th, The Associated Press (AP) conducted an investigation over a period of five months and discovered that an assortment of drugs have been detected in the drinking water supplies of 24 major metropolitan areas serving at least 41 million Americans all over the United States.

Drugs such as antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers, sex hormones, acetaminophen and ibuprofen were found in the water samples taken during the investigation. Although the concentration of the drugs found measured to be in quantities of parts per billion or trillion, far below the levels of a medical dose, the presence of so many prescription and over-the-counter medicines in such a vast amount of our drinking water is raising concerns among scientists about long-term effects on human health.
