Reflective Sheeting

Does anyone know of any cost saving ways for sheeting for the grow room?
I've been told wrapping paper (the white side not patterned) is really good.
Can anyone else help out?




P.s I'm trying to find out so i can make a list of the cheapest and easiest way to grow indoors.

Thanks.

paint, just paint the sides white.

Im really just looking for materials.

Thanks for such a quick post though.

mylar and those rolls of that shiny film. i forget the technical name because i haven't had to buy any in a while hah. white paint reflects something like 80% or 90%(can't remember for shit) of light, and this reflective material is 95% or more depending on which one you get.

In the UK Mylar is quite expensive. Im looking for prices under 5 pounds/dollars really.

Thanks though

mat white paint has a reflectivity of 80% Mylar 85-90% and poly 90-95%.

get yourself some panda film!
in here it's like 1 and a half pounds per a sheet of 3.6m x 1m.
no idea about UK though.

hey there
try black and white plastic sheeting, costs about £1.75 per meter and its 2 meters wide. its easy to wipe clean as well. it as a good reflectivity as well
hope this helps
