HORTICULTURAL GREENHOUSE FABRIC
Solarweave®
The benchmark in greenhouse fabric, Solarweave® 185, has proven its performance working in Australian conditions for more than 40 years.
Natural
White
Light transmission engineered for maximum yield
Scrim-reinforced material delivers superior toughness, excellent tear resistance, and high strength while remaining lightweight and durable.
Product Benefits
Balanced Light Transmission
The semi-transparent construction provides the optimal light levels for plant growth while protecting from weather extremes.
30+ Years Proven Performance
A proven track record across demanding greenhouse environments means you're specifying fabric with proven staying power.
Puncture-Resistant
Strong resistance to accidental punctures minimises repair and replacement costs.
Strong Welding Performance
A dirt-repellent coating facilitates in-field welding for secure seams and repairs.
Solarweave® 185 Features
Built with polyethylene scrim reinforcement and dirt-repellent coating, Solarweave® 185 delivers superior light transmission while maintaining excellent toughness and strength.
Up to 5-Year UV Warranty
We engineer UV stabilisers directly into the fabric during manufacturing for superior protection that outlasts surface treatments.
Advanced Coating Technology™
GALE's proprietary coating process delivers class-leading coating adhesion and superior resistance to flex cracking.
Polyethylene Scrim Reinforcement
UV-stabilised polyethylene reinforcing layer provides reliable puncture, tear, and tensile performance.
100% Lead & Phthalate-Free
Non-toxic manufacturing process ensures safe use across all applications, from agricultural operations to drinking water storage.
Temperature Resilient
Performs reliably across -40°C to +70°C temperature range. Handles extreme seasonal swings without cracking, warping, or losing structural integrity.
185gsm Weight Specification
Lightweight construction optimised for greenhouse applications. Light enough for easy handling during installation while maintaining the strength that hothouse structures require.
100% Recyclable
Fully recyclable material with no chlorine or heavy metals in production.
Standard Roll Specifications
Convenient 2.05m width in 50m, and 100m rolls or jumbo rolls (1,200-1,400m). Standard sizing works with industry fabrication processes while minimising waste.
