XL Polythene

​XL Horticulture are suppliers of the worlds most advanced polytunnel polythene, smart films and spectral filter polythene and the worlds most energy efficient SUPER thermic polythene. 

We are a family and owned company - we care about the products and services we offer you. We also have our on commercial nursery so we have a practical understanding and knowledge of how our products can help you.  

Currently we are only offering SunMaster CrystalTherm -  the first horticultural film in the World made from 7 layers and has a patented new anti-drip system which considerably outlasts conventional systems. It has an ultra smooth external face to repel dirt and delay the onset of algae. It is immensely strong but the clarity is similar to glass making it very suitable for hobby tunnels.

20 Years of Innovation and Research

Plants have adapted and evolved to grow in different parts of the world. Sometimes it’s the temperature and climate that effects them, but often its the light spectrum they are growing under that causes the change. For example there is more UV the closer you get to the equator, which means that you'll get a sun tan far more quickly whereas under a forest canopy part of the red spectrum is reduced. 

Very often you are trying to grow plants which are not native to Mid/Northern European light spectrum. So we thought - WHY COMPROMISE? Lets modify the light spectrum coming through the polythene to make it match, as far as we can, the plants natural light expectation. We discussed it with growers and developed a better range of covers to grow your crops more efficiently. All of our polythene is trialled in conjunction with research stations, universities and growers - we also use it on our own commercial nursery tunnels - and when it’s right we bring it to market. We are constantly monitoring it’s performance and updating our products to suit your needs.

We make it Environmentally friendly! ​

Unfortunately there isn't a way to make polythene completely environmentally friendly just yet but we do our best to make it as 'green' as we can...
  • We make it thinner so that you can cover a greater area with every tonne of polymer you use
    Don't forget at 150mu we cover a surface area about 20% larger than films which are 180mu thick.
  • We make it last longer
    We have customers who have had the same cover on their tunnel for over 13 years! 
  • We make it using carbon neutral energy
    All of our polythene is made using either wind powered or solar generated electricity.
  • Highly sought after by polythene recycling companies
    All of our film is made from virgin polymer and is highly sought after by polythene recycling companies
