Our quality knitted greenhouse shade cloth provides crop protection for UV and heat sensitive plants. This material provides better ventilation and water permeability because of its open lockstitch design which reduces wind speed and heat buildup in structures. The material is lightweight, being 20-25% lighter than other woven materials and dramatically more strength. It is easy to install and can be cut on site and will not unravel.

This material will reduce soil loss by helping lessen evaporation. The tough lockstitch knitted construction resists rips, tears and fraying. Applied levels remain constant during product life. All standard widths can be seamed together for even wider dimensions than standard widths. Material can be ordered in black (8 year UV protection), white (4 year UV protection), green (5 year UV protection), violet (4 year UV protection) and Aluminet Reflective (4 year UV protection). A variety of percentage shades are available.

THERMAL SCREEN - ACTS LIKE A MIRROR

ALUMINET THERMAL SCREENS offer superior year round climatic protection for flowers, potted plants and vegetables. ALUMINET acts like a mirror as its unique aluminized screens reflect unwanted sunlight and harmful radiation heat from the greenhouse during summer, and preserve the heat inside the greenhouse in winter. 4 year UV protection.

When used as a retractable curtain on the inside of the greenhouse, ALUMINET reflects out the unwanted radiation and heat during the day. During cooler temperatures, it preserves the heat inside the greenhouse. The open structure of the screen creates a cooler climate, making it excellent for use in high humidity conditions.

• Aluminet - "Cool Shade" Maximum radiation reflection on both sides, night and day. Substantially reduces heat buildup in greenhouses, skylights, patios and more. Bright shiny appearance also maximizes light diffusion underneath, improving plant growth. Also ideal for retail garden centers thanks to its cooling and "high tech" appearance.

SHADE CLOTH - SHADES AND COOLS

Due to the superior reflect abilities and light weight of ALUMINET, it is the perfect cloth to cover the outside of a greenhouse instead of standard black shade cloth. In addition to providing all of the benefits of standard shade cloth, ALUMINET is easy and quick to install.

ALUMINET is also used as a direct covering over vegetable crops. The aluminized screens not only provide shade, but also protect against frost. Under actual field conditions, crops covered with black shade cloth during frost conditions, were totally damaged, while crops covered with ALUMINET had no damage whatsoever.
