PROTECTION AGAINST BIRDS

In order to prevent birds from spending their time on your greenhouse top or gutter, we can offer a system to prevent them from approaching these areas, ask for our bird proofing system.

SEPARATION WALLS

We combine both separation walls in plastic (single or dubble) and exterior walls with insulated wall or roof panels (on demand).

The separation walls can be both fix or moveable (possibility to roll them up).

CONCRETE PLINTHES

To obtain an optimal finish and also to protect your crops against ground frost, we place concrete plinthes or borders along the complete length and width of your greenhouse. The concrete plinthes are 12mm thick and 50 cm high. An aluminium profile in the concrete makes for an easy way to hold the plastic foil in place.

PLASTIC FILM

All our greenhouses are covered with thermic anti-fog plastic between 0.18mm and 0.2mm thick, with a diffuse light transmission of 92% and a factory guarantee of 48 months in middle European climate.

The type of plastic we apply is determined in dialogue with the customer, taking into account the nature of the cultured product, enabling optimal conditions and allowing excellent growth as desired by the farmer.

All our greenhouses can also be covered with DUBBLE LAYER PLASTIC on the roof and/or on the lateral facades. This system has multiple advantages.

First of all, the loss of light is heavily reduced, because there is little to no condensation on the foil. Once the dubble foil is gonflated the insulation is instantly increased, reducing the heating cost with a mere 40%. Finally the dubble film also keeps the temperature inside the greenhouse more stable.

The plastic film can be adapted according to the plant or crop that is cultured, it will protect your product optimally against the negative external influences, and will create an ideal micro climate for the growth of your plants.

There are a number of factors which are important for every greenhouse foil: a high light transparancy, a long lifetime and good mechanical properties are crucial. This is possible because the foil undergoes different treatments, for example:

Thermicity

The additon of mineral fillers or co-polymers such as EVA prevents that long wave infrared radiation (warmth) escapes from the greenhoust. Thermic foils prefent in such manner a strong and sudden cooldown and reduce your heatingcosts.

Diffusion

Light transparancy is an essential characteristic of plastic greenhouse foils. It is however important to make a distinction between direct and indirect or diffuse light. Too much direct light can have a detrimental effect on the growth of the crop or plant, mainly in regions with a lot of intens sunlight. The addition of mineral fillers results in a broader and more equally spread of the light, this diffused light has a positive effect on the growth of your crops or plants.

Anti-fogging

Condensation drops are blocking a part of the (PAR)-light (upto 15%) and can damage crops or plants. The addition of special additives ensures that the condensation drips flow over de film and form a thin layer of water which flows along the sides of the greenhouse or tunnel. Result: more light enters the greenhouse.

UV-blocking/ Anti-Petal Blackening

Ultraviolet radiation doesn't always contribute to plant growth, in certain cases it can even damage the plant. By adding specific additives that block the UV-light the radiation is filtered by the film and does not enter into the greenhouse. An example, this helps to prevent the so called 'petal blackening'  an undesired discoloration of the leafs of roses.
