Mylar Superplant Diamond Black 1.2 x 30m
Mylar Superplant Diamond Black 1.2 x 30m — 94% Reflectivity, 100% Light-Tight
Choosing Mylar over standard white film is a deliberate choice for higher light efficiency. A white surface typically reflects 85–90% of incident light; the Mylar Superplant Diamond Black achieves 94% reflectivity — measurably more light reaching the canopy rather than being lost to the walls. The hammered diamond texture (Diamond) of the reflective surface also produces a diffuse reflection pattern that eliminates hotspots under the lamp and distributes light intensity more evenly across the full grow footprint.

Diamond hammered texture: the difference from standard Mylar
Standard smooth Mylar reflects light specularly — directly and concentrated. The diamond hammered texture of the Superplant Diamond Black redistributes each light ray across multiple angles from every micro-facet of its surface. The effect is analogous to the difference between a mirror reflector and a hammertone reflector: more diffuse, more uniform, less peak intensity at the centre and better coverage toward the edges. This is particularly advantageous in grow rooms where a single lamp must cover a larger area. By comparison, the Black/White Foil 85mu remains the practical per-metre option for smaller projects.
Black backing: fully light-tight
The black layer on the reverse makes the film 100% light-tight, even at fixing points and overlaps. This makes the Diamond Black usable as a complete lining for grow rooms, corridors and converted spaces without any additional black backing layer required. The 110 µm thickness provides strength and durability for long-term use. A roll of 1.2 x 30 metres covers 36m² per roll. Pair it with a Secret Jardin Dark Street grow tent for a complete high-reflectivity setup. Also consider the Easygrow 70mu 25-metre roll for larger surface projects.
What is the difference between Mylar Diamond Black and standard white film?
Standard white film reflects 85–90% of light diffusely. The Mylar Superplant Diamond Black achieves 94% reflectivity thanks to its high-gloss diamond surface texture. The hammered pattern also ensures uniform diffuse distribution without hotspots. For growers seeking to maximise PAR delivery to the canopy, Mylar provides a measurable light gain over white film.
Is the Mylar Superplant Diamond Black suitable for grow tents?
Yes, the Diamond Black works well as supplementary lining inside or outside a grow tent. Its 100% light-tight construction (black reverse) also makes it suitable for blacking out windows, cable entries or uncovered corners of a grow room. The 1.2 metre width aligns with standard grow tent dimensions.
How much area does a 1.2 x 30 metre roll cover?
One roll covers 36m² of surface area. For a 3 x 3 metre grow room with 2-metre-high walls, the four walls total 24m² — a single 36m² roll covers the full wall area with ample margin for overlaps and cutting waste.
