Solar Reflection

Maybe you've heard of our aluminium know-how - it's the secret to effective shading whether you're in Holland or Mexico. The aluminium strips provide the required level of solar reflection, but let hot air rise between them for added cooling. Some of the screens even combine a high level of diffusion to stimulate growth and better regulate plant temperature. There are Solar Reflection screens for most applications: inside, outside, open roof - with either sliding and suspended systems or rolling systems. Where the climate is particularly hot, a combination of screens often provides best control.

XLS F FIREBREAK

Shading and cooling with firebreak on every screen

XLS F FIREBREAK effectively cools greenhouse by reflecting sunlight while its open structure allow airflow. During the night it helps to reduce radiated heat loss from plants, minimizing the formation of dew and risk of fungal diseases. In cool climates it's often combined with an energy saving screens at night.

All Svensson inside screens can be used under all type of greenhouses cover. Their unique knitted structure reduces condensation and allows them to be bundled to a small size for maximum available light. They are UV stable and remain clean and effective for a long time.

Each climate screen has approx 40 cm (16") of firebreak along both sides, intended to limit screen-to-screen fire spread. When properly installed, this provides approx an 80 cm (32") of firebreak between adjacent screens.
