Too hot in your greenhouse?
During hot summers it is often not enough to close your movable screen to protect your crop. A shading coating keeps excessive light and heat out of your greenhouse. You choose how you want to apply the layer: manually, by machine, or by helicopter. The coatings are weather-resistant, and you can easily remove the coating after the summer season with ReduClean.
Coatings can be applied manually, with a machine or helicopter.
Let’s ask a grower
The climate on California’s Central Coast is perfect for growing orchids, provided you are able to protect them against the fierce radiation all year round. Cal Coast Orchids sells top-quality Phalaenopsis throughout the entire state and beyond.
Bas van Eijk, co-owner Cal Coast Orchids:
“We were at our wits’ end. The orchids had already been planted in the greenhouse and threatened to become burned. This is when we got the idea of applying a temporary ReduSol coating.”
The temporary coating has since become a year-round event at Cal Coast Orchids. ReduSol has proven to be a very good means of damping and diffusing the sunlight. The fixed screen is an extra safety tool in this regard and has a 70% heat retention capacity. “In the winter we start off with 30% shading. At the end of February, we apply a thicker layer on top of this. If necessary, we can add another layer in the middle of summer,” says Van Eijk.
