Shade System with Crop

The climate screens will bring you the expected benefits, such as greater yields, higher quality and lower energy costs. The main functions of climate screens are energy saving and shading. Beyond this, the screen is a valuable instrument for controlling the greenhouse growing climate. As these functions are interlinked, knowledge of greenhouse climate control is key, which is why we begin with some of the basics.

Only a rational application of our climate screens will bring you the expected benefits, such as greater yields, higher quality and lower energy costs.

Cucumber -Cucumbers prefer day/night temperatures of 22/19⁰C (72/60°F). The best way to cut heating costs is to use one of our transparent energy screens. In areas where winter temperatures tend to drop below 4 ⁰C (39°F), you might consider a double energy screen for even greater savings.

High light levels go hand in hand with high production levels. But don’t overdo it: radiation greater than 600 W/m2 could result in problems for your crop. In countries with moderate summers, you can always use the available energy screen for shading. In warmer climates, we’d recommend screens with 40% to 50% shading and an open structure for ventilation.
