FAQs
What materials can these clips be used with?
These clips are suitable for attaching insulation materials like bubble wrap and fleece, as well as shading nets.
Are these clips suitable for all types of greenhouses?
They are specifically designed for aluminium greenhouses. Compatibility with other frame materials may vary.
How do I ensure the best insulation effect?
For best results, ensure the clip creates a clear air gap between the greenhouse glass and the insulation material. Proper installation and a good seal are key.
What is the function of the washer?
The washer helps to distribute pressure and provides a smoother surface for the material or clip to rest against, aiding in secure attachment and preventing damage.
How many clips are in a pack?
This specific product is a pack of 32 clips. Other pack sizes (16 and 50) are also available.
Can these clips be used on the exterior of the greenhouse?
While primarily designed for interior use to secure insulation and shading, their durability may allow for exterior use depending on environmental conditions, though this is not their intended purpose.
Troubleshooting
Clip not holding material securely
Ensure the clip is fully inserted and twisted into the aluminium glazing bar. Check that the washer is correctly positioned with the smooth side down.
Difficulty inserting clip into glazing bar
Verify that your greenhouse frame is made of aluminium. Ensure the glazing bar channel is clean and free of debris before insertion.

Use more clips spaced closer together along the material's edge. Ensure the material is taut before securing it with the clips.
