Commercial Growers

Palram offers commercial growers a wide selection of greenhouse coverings with different light transmission, thermal insulation and diffusion properties. These greenhouse coverings are lightweight and durable to reduce maintenance and material costs. They create a tailor-made environment to match the grower’s crops and facilitate high crop yields. Moreover, Palram products are suited to specific structure types, including retrofitting film or glass greenhouses.

Main Benefits

• UV protection
  


• High level of light transmission and diffusion
  


• Easy to handle
  


• Performs year round, even in areas with harsh climates and temperature extremes
  


• Suits every type of structure while requiring minimal supports

Retail Garden Centers

As retail garden centers accommodate both plants and customers, they need to be comfortable for both. Palram greenhouse sheets and systems cater to these requirements with SolarSmart™ technology, which blocks infrared radiation (heat) while allowing visible light into the greenhouse. The result is a pleasant shopping experience for the customer, while providing the light and conditions required for plants to grow and flourish.

Main Benefits

• SolarSmart™ technology provides selective solar transmission options
  


• Performs year round in harsh climates
  


• Lasts for years due to superior durability
  


• Leverages the benefits of natural light while reducing heat buildup
  


• Creates an enjoyable shopping experience

Cow Sheds

Optimal confinement conditions for dairy cows require durable and lightweight shelter coverings. Unlike metal alternatives, PALRUF PVC corrugated sheets are resistant to even the harshest corrosive environments. As a result, leaks, rust and deterioration caused by corrosion are prevented.

Main Benefits

• Chemically-resistant material does not rust or corrode
  


• Durable even under extreme weather conditions and UV radiation
  


• Washable material requires minimal maintenance
  


• Lightweight material lends itself to low-cost construction

Cannabis Greenhouses

Due to the recent developments in the legalization of recreational and medical cannabis, growers are faced with several growing challenges. Commercial cultivation of cannabis requires full control over the day and night cycles. During daylight cycles, growers in the commercial market strive for maximal light transmittance and high light diffusion factors. Opaque walls are desirable for security and discretion, as well as for light deprivation control. Palram provides a suite of solutions for cannabis growers with specific high-light transmission and diffusion panels for the roof; and opaque, reflective multiwall or corrugated sheets for greenhouse walls and gables.

Main Benefits

• Polycarbonate roof panels provide high level of light transmission
  


• Light blocking, UV resistant, and reflective sheets enable full light deprivation control

Animal Feeding Areas

Animal feeding areas are ground zero for germ transmission. For this reason, they have one of the highest sanitation and hygiene standards in animal husbandry. Cladding material used in these areas must offer resistance against concentrated frequent cleaning cycles and power washing. AGTUF corrugated PVC liner panels DURACLAD PVC interlocking multiwall panels offer the chemical resistance required for such environments.

Main Benefits

• Chemically-resistant material does not rust or corrode
  


• Washable material requires minimal maintenance
  


• Lightweight material can be installed easily

Poultry Houses

Poultry houses require ceiling and wall liners with good insulation and resistance to the harsh chemicals used in frequent cleaning and sanitary maintenance. AGTUF corrugated PVC liner panels and DURACLAD PVC interlocking multiwall panels can withstand exposure to such chemicals and frequent cleaning for years while also offering the insulation that animal breeders need.

Main Benefits

• Excellent chemical resistance
  


• Minimal outgassing in animal breeding areas
  


• Easy-to-clean surface resists water and protects against rust
  


• Offers good insulation

Hog Confinements

Hogs need durable, lightweight coverings for optimal confinement conditions. Materials used should be durable, washable, and chemically resistant. PALRUF corrugated PVC sheets provide a clean, reliable, and chemically-resistant solution that keeps the shed dry and lasts for years.

Main Benefits

• Excellent chemical resistance
  


• Minimal outgassing in animal breeding areas
  


• Easy-to-clean surface resists water and protects against rust
  


• Offers good insulation

Silos & Barns

When storing grains, a dry environment is vital for protecting them from mold and fungus. At the same time, it’s important to balance production costs. PALRUF corrugated PVC sheets make for an excellent roof covering and allow builders to widen the purlins spans and to save on construction and installation without compromising the roof’s integrity. SUNTUF corrugated polycarbonate can also act as a skylight by using SolarSmart technology to allow for selective light transmission.

Main Benefits

• Rust free
  


• Corrosion-resistant
  


• Leak-proof
  


• Easy to install and maintain
