What Flower Greenhouses Ask of Film
Flower quality depends on a steady greenhouse climate: enough light for fast growth, warmth through cool highland nights, and no dripping condensation that spots blooms. EVA film layers bring those properties together in one co-extruded sheet.
Kenyan growers in the Naivasha and Nairobi highlands regions have moved toward multi-layer films that balance light, heat and anti-drip – and 3-layer EVA is a common spec for the segment.

Film Options for Flower Greenhouses
3-Layer EVA Film
EVA-containing co-extruded film for better thermal retention, flexibility and clarity.
PO Greenhouse Film
Polyolefin film with high light transmission for light-hungry crops.
Anti-Drip Film
Coated or formulated to control condensation on the inner surface.
The East African Flower Market
Kenya is a leading exporter of cut flowers, grown largely under film greenhouses in the highlands. Growers sell by grade, so a stable climate and clean blooms directly affect price – which is why film spec matters to the flower segment.

Quick Answers
EVA Greenhouse Film Questions
EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) is blended into film layers for better thermal retention, flexibility and clarity than standard PE.
Multi-layer films combine light, heat and anti-drip properties in one sheet, which keeps the greenhouse climate steady for quality crops.
Layer count is one part of the spec – 5-layer films allow more specialized additive placement; 3-layer is a proven balance for many flower greenhouses.
Anti-drip formulations and coatings control inner-surface condensation so it does not drip onto blooms.
UV-stabilized grades are typically specified for 3-5 years depending on region and additives.
Yes – width, thickness and additive packages are produced to your greenhouse design.
