Solexx applied to a custom gambrel style frame
Solexx is easy to work with. It cuts easily and can puncture, but you just can't tear this stuff. If you had a couple of ice axes you could puncture and pull yourself right up the sides of the building.
Up and Over
Solexx standard width of 49.5" makes overlapping on 24" framing easy. Placing a screw about every 5" on the overlap creates a good seal.
Some important information to consider
Great Insulation Factor and Light Diffusion
It's interesting to note the difference in the way it feels in a greenhouse with 8mm. polycarbonate and 3.5mm Solexx. We have both and can show you the difference. In the Solexx greenhouse you'll note things like terra cotta pots stay a neutral temperature but in the polycarbonate atmosphere they are heated by the sun which dries out the root systems.
Light diffusion is very Important in the greenhouse
Sealing the ends with silicone helps the insulation factor.
