Aluminet Energy Curtains and Thermal Refective Screens
Why consider Aluminet screens?
Saves energyAluminet® screens have been tested and proved to save over 50% of heating energy, which means direct reduction of your operational costs. |
|
Increases yieldsBetter temperature control, together with optimized light management, ensure maximum yield from your greenhouse. Aluminet® screens raise plant temperatures at night, avoid overheating in the day and improve photosynthesis by increasing the amount of scattered light. |
|
Protects against frostMany outdoor crops benefit from improved climate management. Aluminet® screens installed on light-frame shade houses protect crops from frost, wind and heat stress, increasing both crop quality and productivity. |

How do Aluminet screens work?
Double-side reflection
Aluminet® screens reflect sun radiation during the day, reducing overexposure to heat, and reflect IR radiation at night, increasing plant temperature and reducing risk of freezing. The screens also prevent condensation on leaves.
Light Diffusion
Aluminet’s special structure improves light management. The use of special additives and the multifaceted reflection of the twisted Aluminet® strips contribute to efficient diffusion of incoming radiation, creating uniform light throughout the greenhouse.

Aluminet® I Open Screens
Aluminet® I Open Screens provide multiple solutions where both heat-stress reduction and frost protection is necessary. The double-sided reflection screen helps to protect your crop against both midday heat stress and overnight frost.
Light transmission parameters were tested according to ASTM-D 1746 & ASTM-D 1494 methods.
Aluminet® IC Closed Screens for Energy-Saving
Aluminet® IC is highly recommended for greenhouses where a high level of energy saving is essential. Tests show that Aluminet’s insulation properties contribute significantly to reduced energy consumption.
Energy savings tested by the INTRON Quality Assessment Institute in Test no. R20010307 on Nov. 8, 2001. Light transmission parameters were tested according to ASTM-D 1746 & ASTM-D 1494 methods.
Fire retardant parameters were tested according to NFPA 701 regulations.
Many outdoor crops, such as vegetable and leaf crops, benefit from moderate climatic conditions. Reduction of direct radiation and temperature in summer improves product quality and can save water and fertilizers, prevent some diseases and save disinfection treatments. These screens also provide wind and frost protection and improved humidity control.
