Polyfilm vs. ETFE: A 30-Year Cost Case for Smarter Greenhouse Glazing
The choice of greenhouse covering material is rarely as simple as comparing price per square foot. Upfront material cost is only one variable in an

For many greenhouse projects, the glazing decision eventually narrows to a familiar comparison: Polycarbonate or something newer like ETFE? Polycarbonate has become a common choice
ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) is a fluoropolymer film used as greenhouse glazing in single-layer and multi-layer systems. Compared with glass, polycarbonate, and polyethylene, it transmits a
At some point in the process of every greenhouse project, the focus narrows to a deceptively simple question: What should we use for glazing? It’s
