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. Northern Polytunnels Mill Green, Waterside Road, Colne, Lancs, BB8 0TA Tel - 01282 873120 http://www.northernpolytunnels.co.uk/lumisol-clear.html This company also has an ebay account - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/9-2m-WIDE-...item43dcb8446d ...................................... I have been told from friends that own garden allotments that this company in Sunderland sells the Lumisol Clear. AE.Taylor & Co 44 Borough Road Sunderland Tyne and Wear SR1 1PW Tel: 0191 567 5078 ........................................ Also found this one, seems to be the same company as above, its certainly the same address..... 44 Borough Road Sunderland Tyne & Wear SR1 1PW sales@aetaylorltd.co.uk Phone 0191 500 1099 .......................................... Please add anywhere that you know sells this stuff. |

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 |
