Aluminet

Aluminet Shade Cloth is a high-quality, reflective shade cloth that is perfect for greenhouses and vegetables, as well as creating shade for your outdoor recreational areas. It provides maximum radiation reflection on both sides, night and day, will reduce heat inside your greenhouse structure, can help reduce heat loss in winter, increases light diffusion, and is highly resistant to UV degradation. Aluminet shade cloth is our most popular garden shade cloth, and we offer the best prices on the web.

ChromatiNet

ChromatiNet is a series of colored shade nets with special optical properties which improve the utilization of solar radiation by agricultural crops. This technology promotes stimulation of particular responses, which determine the commercial value of each crop and the visual appeal of your flowering plants.

  • ChromatiNet Red Shade Cloth increases the red and far-red light spectrum, producing higher foliage volume and longer leaves and stems.
    Available in 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%.

  • ChromatiNet Pearl Shade Cloth diffuses light which stimulates photosynthesis and improves crop yields.
    Available in 20%, 40%, 50%.

  • ChromatiNet Gray Shade Cloth blocks IR radiation and evenly distributes light resulting in cooler temperatures and protection from wind damage and sun scorching.
    Available in 60%, 80%.

  • ChromatiNet Blue Shade Cloth increases blue light and acts as a natural growth regulator, decreasing foliage volume by around 20%, darkening the foliage and delaying the bloom.
    Available in 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%.

Climate Screen

Moveable climate-control screens have many uses in commercial and residential greenhouses alike. Shading, cooling, reducing solar heat gain, insulating against heat loss, controlling condensation and humidity, and fine-tuning the light and energy of the sun are just a few of the things well-thought-out climate screens can provide.

Energy Saving Shade Cloth

Tempa Shade Cloth uses aluminum strips in a closed-screen structure for superior insulation value, bringing the greatest energy savings at any given shading level. It doubles as an effective shading screen when needed and reduces condensation when there is a sudden temperature drop, helping to avoid damage to plants. This multi-functionality makes it ideal as a single screen solution for climates where needs are often changing.

Tempa is ideal in moderate climates and in greenhouses where different crop varieties will be grown throughout the year. Tempa is also found in greenhouses with side ventilation, as it then provides excellent cooling for the plants below it. Available from 35%-57%.

Luxous Shade Cloth lets the most daylight reach your crop while saving energy and improving the greenhouse climate. Its translucent strips and closed-screen structure are effective when in use, but also bundle very small and tight to not block light when rolled away and not in use.

Your plants will benefit from energy savings with maximized production thanks to the highest light transmission. Luxous is also useful for slowing down radiated heat loss at the end of the day and at night – reducing the risk of condensation on plants.

Luxous is best for saving energy while still transmitting precious daylight, and is typically found in production-intensive operations with heating systems. It’s often used as part of a multi-screen solution together with a shading screen or – increasingly – with a second Luxous screen for even better climate control. Available from 11%-78%

Diffusion Shading

Harmony Shade Cloth helps accelerate production and produce healthier plants by gently managing and diffusing sunlight. Its white strips scatter sunlight more effectively. To further improve cooling, many Harmony screens have an open structure. High grade light diffusion actively scatters the sunlight to reach deeper – and more evenly – into your crop. You’ll see less risk of burning the plants and more even light exposure at a cooler temperature, bringing increased crop quality due to the lower temperature of the fruit or flower. Available in 55%, 60%.

Reflective Shading

Solaro Solar Reflection Screens combine aluminum strips with open structure weave to provide solar reflection and also let hot air rise 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, for use on sliding and suspended systems or rolling systems. Where the climate is particularly hot, a combination of screens often provides the best control.

Solaro is ideal for shading in hot climates or simply to manage more sensitive plants and can be used at night to reduce radiation losses that otherwise cause condensation on plants. Available in 30% to 80%.

Blackout Shade System

If you grow plants that need extra beauty sleep, our blackout screens are double layered to provide more than 99.9% blackout (enough for the most sensitive plants). Choose between a white or aluminum upper layer for solar reflection or interior light intensification and completely control your growth and flowering cycles.

Knitted Black Shade Cloth

Black Shade Cloth naturally resists the sun's harmful UV Radiation. On hot days, black shade cloth absorbs the sun's heat and can transfer and hold some of this heat on your structure. Knitted Black Shade Cloth uses a tough, lockstitch knitted design which is UV stabilized for long life and will not ravel or fray. Shade levels remain constant during product life.

The consistent lockstitch creates thousands of little vents, which results in less heat buildup in the structure. Less wind stress is placed on the structure, and less stress is created on the net due to its excellent ventilation properties. Black shade cloth is also used where plants are being light conditioned for indoor/outdoor use or where plants are being deliberately drawn to achieve increased height by reaching a restricted light source.

Decorative Colored Shade Cloth

The attractive colors of shade cloths are not only attractive with your greenhouse or your backyard but also help control inside heat build-up and be used for decorative use in yard fencing. They are perfect with swimming pools, pergolas, balconies, sports fields, and other outdoor spaces. This is the shade cloth of choice for many nurseries, retail garden centers, patio lovers, ball diamond fences, and tennis courts. Shade cloths will reflect the sun's powerful radiation and provide a cooler, shaded area for people, animals, and heat-sensitive plants alike.

Available in decorative Green, White, Saddle Brown, Chromati Blue, Red, and Violet. Light Transmission varies depending upon color.

Monofilament Black Knitted Shade Cloth

Our monofilament knitted shade is constructed from high-density polyethylene for added strength and longer life; for many applications, it has become an economical alternative to woven fabrics. It is engineered to resist tears, mold, and mildew, and its finished edges on both outer sides require no tape or grommets.

It is UV stabilized to hold up under the most extreme solar conditions and is great for windbreaking, patio screening, pool covering, hail protection, and more. Each panel is custom-made to your specifications.
