When selecting a protected growing environment, key factors such as durability, safety, lifespan, ease of repair, and resilience to ever-changing weather conditions require careful consideration. The Keder greenhouse system’s bubble cladding offers the perfect solution to all these critical aspects.
What Makes the Bubbles Special?
The Polydress LP-Keder Air Bubble Film consists of an air-filled bubble centre encased in a laminate plastic film on both sides. These layers are heat-sealed to keep the air securely trapped within the bubbles, forming a robust and efficient cladding material.
Durability and Safety
The cladding is exceptionally strong and designed for load-bearing applications. This strength comes not only from its material composition but also from the secure installation system. The 2 metre wide sheets are fixed along their entire length on both sides using an interlocking profile system, ensuring an even distribution of weight. This makes the Keder system ideal for situations where safety is paramount. For example, Keder greenhouses have been used to create "football-proof" environments for schools, grandparents’ gardens, and community care projects.
Longevity and Easy Repairs
Keder cladding is built to last, with a life expectancy of 15 to 30 years before replacement might be needed. If repairs are required, the 2 metre panel design ensures you only need to replace the affected section, not the entire structure. Minor damage, like small holes in the bubbles, can be quickly fixed with clear silicone sealant, making maintenance simple and cost-effective.
Exceptional Weatherproofing
The bubble cladding provides outstanding insulation, retaining up to 95% of heat radiation with an R-value of 1.7—offering significant energy and cost savings. Combined with the profile attachment, the Keder locking mechanism creates a water- and airtight seal capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions.
Unlike traditional greenhouses, Keder greenhouses can be oriented in any direction to suit your plot. The bubble design diffuses light evenly throughout the structure, eliminating shady spots and preventing sun scorching. This ensures optimal growing conditions, leading to higher crop yields and healthier plants.
In summary, the Keder greenhouse system, with its innovative bubble cladding, sets a new standard for durability, efficiency, and adaptability in protected growing environments.
