No-Drop

NO DRIP

Anti condensate that inhibits the formation of condensation into droplets by reducing surface tension making the condensation run off the sheets into the gutter or drain.

Double UV

2 UV

Two sided UV Protection for superior resistance against UV rays which helps maintain long term high light transmission.

LIGHT DEPRIVATION CORRUGATED SHEETS

LIGHT DEPRIVATION CORRUGATED SHEETS
