Polyethylene Covers
iyrisTM SecondSkyTM Polyethylene Covers deliver 80% more peak heat absorption, but up to a 50% increase in daily light for your crop due to reduced chalking requirements.
It is available in all standard thicknesses, quality and width configurations and can be installed in the same way as standard polycarbonate film. It is also no different in thermal insulation or durability of other polyethylenes. iyris TM can be integrated into any base substrate offered by our partner manufacturers.
Beat the heat
iyrisTM SecondSkyTM Polyethylene Covers will provide up to a 5 oC reduction in peak temperatures inside your greenhouse.
Bespoke solutions
Our Polyethylene Covers are available in a wide range of grades that offer different heat-blocking properties, meaning you can find the perfect solution tailored to your crop.
Grow your profits
By cooling the greenhouse, yet letting in more light, you spend less on cooling and water but will see greater yields from your crops.
Key Benefits
iyrisTM SecondSkyTM Polyethylene can transform your growing with one simple change.
By switching to iyrisTM, you will cut the temperature in your greenhouse and this delivers a range of benefits to the grower.
The lower temperatures significantly reduce energy and water requirements for cooling systems, you can scale back on crop inputs, it reduces transpiration and chalking requirements and helps to improve yields.
Most importantly, you can extend your growing season into the hotter months, enabling you to get even more from your crop.
