Other Reflective Films
Specific reflective films can be found here! These include in particular opaque black-and-white film with two surfaces that complement each other. The white layer with 90% reflectivity effectively disperses light to harder-to-reach places, and is therefore intended for the inner side of the growing area or room. For the outer side of the grow room, black is suitable, as it absorbs light. For the floor, we recommend FLOOR SECURE film, which protects you against possible flooding.

As much light as reaches the plants, that much energy they have for growth - and that is exactly what reflective films address. This category includes specific types that do not fit among the classic diamond or silver ones: above all universal black-and-white film and floor underlay film.
How to choose
- Black-and-white film has two functionally different surfaces - the white side reflects about 90% of incoming light and disperses it to harder-to-reach places, while the black side absorbs light and prevents it from passing out of the space. Turn the white side inwards, the black side outwards.
- Thickness and roll length - thicker film (for example 85 microns) is more durable and holds its shape better; longer rolls are suitable for lining an entire room.
- Underlay film is not meant to reflect light, but to protect the floor - place it under the tent as protection against flooding.

Frequently asked questions
Which side should black-and-white film face inwards?
The white side should face into the growing area - it reflects light back to the plants. The black side belongs outside, because it absorbs light and does not let it pass out of the space.
How well does matte white film reflect light?
The white side reflects around 90% of incoming light and, above all, disperses it evenly, so hot spots do not form as with glossy films.
What is FLOOR SECURE underlay film for?
It serves as protection for the floor under a tent or tank. If water or nutrient solution leaks, it catches it and protects the floor against flooding.
