Climate Screens & Coatings

Climate screens and greenhouse coatings are essential tools for creating a stable growing environment. Together, they influence light transmission, radiation, temperature and humidity, helping growers manage energy more efficiently while maintaining the conditions plants need to stay active and balanced.

Managing light and heat is the first step towards creating a stable greenhouse climate.

Managing light and heat for optimal conditions

Creating a balance between Radiation and Temperature

Sunlight is essential for growth but also introduces heat and rapid climate changes. Managing the balance between light and heat is therefore one of the most important elements of greenhouse control.

The key is to regulate how sunlight enters the greenhouse, how it spreads across the canopy, and how much heat it contributes. This ensures the plant receives the radiation it needs without being pushed into stress or overheating. Tools such as coatings support this process, but the core principle remains understanding the crop’s needs at each stage of growth.

When light and heat are well balanced, the climate stays calm and the crop remains active without stress peaks.
