High light transmission
Loses no more than 4% light transmission over 20 years, with virtually no yellowing.
100% light diffusion
The Softlite grade offers up to 79% light transmission with 100% diffusion, reducing hot spots, the "rainbow" effect and harsh shadows on plants.
Thermal insulation
The multiwall design retains 50% more heat than single glass.
Impact strength
Up to 250 times the impact resistance of glass, resisting hail, wind and extreme weather.
Lightweight
50% lighter than glass and virtually unbreakable.
Condensation control
An anti-condensate (DRIPGARD) inner coating limits condensation, keeping light transmission high and preventing drip damage to plants.
UV & fire
Excellent UV resistance and a Class A (CC1) fire rating.
Warranty
15-year limited warranty from the manufacturer.
DRIPGARD coating reduces the contact angle, so condensation spreads into a thin film instead of dripping.

It's a lightweight, durable sheet made for greenhouse roofing and cladding.
THE PANELS
FEATURES
Built to grow in Texas
Every C&J greenhouse pairs a wood base and frame with clear multiwall polycarbonate and vents that open on their own.
Automatic gable vent
A heat-activated opener lifts the vent as it warms up, with no power needed.
Side wall auto vents
Side vents open automatically for cross ventilation on hot days.
Wood base & frame
A solid wood base and frame with galvanized metal roof trim.
How the automatic vents work
Vents + fan: hands-off cooling
1. Heats up
A sealed black cylinder filled with paraffin oil acts as the thermostat. As the greenhouse warms, the oil expands.
2. Opens
The expanding oil pushes a piston that opens the vent, starting around 72°F and up to about 14 inches.
3. Closes
As it cools, the oil contracts and a spring closes the vent.
No power needed
No electricity, batteries or wiring involved.
The automatic vents handle everyday ventilation. On still, hot or humid days, a greenhouse can climb 20–30°F above outdoor temps in minutes. The thermostat-controlled exhaust fan kicks on at your set temperature to pull hot, humid air out and bring fresh air in, then shuts off once it cools.
Prevents heat stress
Keeps temperatures in check on the hottest days.
Lowers humidity
Moves moist air out, reducing mold risk.
Fresh air & COâ‚‚
Brings in fresh air and COâ‚‚ for your plants.
Works while you're away
Runs automatically, even when you're not home.
