SolaWrap is a greenhouse film with a unique bubble design that delivers added strength, longevity, and better growing conditions than standard greenhouse plastics.

Everything You Need to Know About SolaWrap
SolaWrap greenhouse plastic saves energy, blocks UV, and is unmatched in durability, with excellent light transparency that carries through the whole growing season. Its bubble design supports year-round production with great longevity, strength, and better growing conditions than standard polyethylene films.
SolaWrap is built from three parts: the bubbles, the keder, and the connector. Together they prevent leakage and thermal bridges, so up to 95% of heat radiation is retained. The keder is a rope-edge bead that connects each film panel to the frame. With a thermal conductivity of 3.3 W/sq m K, SolaWrap delivers distinctive insulation — and real savings on energy.
How SolaWrap Greenhouses Stand Up
120 lb/sq ft snow load

10-year UV stability

Install One Time and That's It
In most cases you install SolaWrap once and you're done — a storm won't take your greenhouse film off, and your crops stay protected. During installation, slide the 4', 5', or 6' strips of SolaWrap into the connectors and cut the film with a knife or scissors. The low-weight keder strips glide easily along the track, making install fast and simple.
Cost & Where to Buy
How much does SolaWrap cost?
SolaWrap runs roughly $1.67 to $2.00 per square foot depending on roll length — about $2,600 to $3,300 per roll at standard sizes, not including sales tax. Shipping is free on every order.
Where can I buy SolaWrap?
SolaWrap is available through local distributors subject to regional stock, or directly from a national distributor like overlakesupply.com that carries the full product line and ships directly to your location or jobsite. Need a different length? Request a custom quote on 4', 5', or 6' wide options.
SolaWrap vs. Cheap 6-Mil Poly
You could cover a greenhouse with a cheap 6-mil poly sheet — but you get what you pay for. A basic poly sheet won't stand up to wind, snow, hail, or strong sun and may last only about 4 years. SolaWrap carries a 10-year warranty against UV degradation and an expected lifespan of 15–25+ years.
| SolaWrap | 6-Mil Poly Sheet | |
|---|---|---|
| Lifespan | 15–25+ years | ~4 years |
| UV warranty | 10 years | None |
| Snow / wind | 120 lb/sq ft · 100 mph | Minimal protection |
| Insulation | Retains up to 95% of heat radiation | Poor |
