Glasshouse Shading
Summer heat can devastate your crops and skyrocket your cooling bills. Our professional glasshouse shading/whitewashing service provides the perfect balance of light control and temperature management, protecting your investment while boosting productivity.
Glasshouse shading is the most cost-effective method to regulate your glasshouse environment. By applying specially formulated compounds to your glass or polycarbonate panels, we create an intelligent barrier that reflects excess heat while maintaining optimal growing conditions.
Glasshouse shading delivers immediate results without the hefty upfront investment or ongoing maintenance headaches of thermal screening. Though it is a recurring cost, year on year.
To Shade, or Not to Shade…
Uncontrolled heat and intense sunlight don’t just reduce yields – they destroy profits:
- Plant stress leads to stunted growth and poor fruit development
- Leaf scorch damages crops beyond recovery
- Flower drop eliminates future harvests
- Dehydration stress disrupts nutrient uptake
- Soaring energy costs from desperate cooling attempts
The Shading Advantage:
Our professional application transforms your glasshouse into a perfectly balanced growing environment.
-
It reflects up to 85% of excess solar radiation, maintaining ideal growing temperatures even during heat waves
-
The diffused coatings scatter light evenly throughout your crop canopy, eliminating hot spots and promoting uniform growth.
-
Shading reduces cooling costs by up to 40% compared to mechanical ventilation systems alone.
-
It shields sensitive plants from UV damage while maintaining photosynthetic efficiency.
