Lumisol Clear / Where to buy it / List Companies
 

We are all hearing about this Lumisol Clear that many are now starting to use after reading the TT tests and seeing that it allows UV through but helps retain heat at the same time.

I thought it would be good if we all made a list so others know where to go for it.

Please add anywhere that you know sells this stuff.

Did I read somewhere that it was only good for five years of letting uv through.

Yes thats what I read as well but for the price its still a great buy and better than using your electricity all the time

Hi im going to buy some decking boards to make a big cold frame for my torts what the best way to make a good lid with the lumisol x

A few ways of doing it, you could just make the coldframe unit then just drape the lumisol over the top of it as I did when I first built mine and weight it down. By the way the polythene in this photo is not lumisol

OR look at this link, it shows that I eventually made a lid for my own although I used polycarbonate in this photo but it might give you an idea of how to go about it. http://www.shelledwarriors.co.uk/for...ng+area&page=4

I havent fitted any lumisol as yet so not got anything to show you but I would think if you build a frame work for your lid then stretch the lumisol over it you will have to screw more wood on top of the lumisol to hold it on place.

The whole design from start to finish of mine is here http://www.shelledwarriors.co.uk/for...t=warming+area

Hope this gives you a few ideas

Im still on this guys trying to find a deal I havent forgot give me until next week and Ill have a answer for you all.
