Greenhouse Blackout Systems
We are dedicated to installing state-of-the-art greenhouse blackout systems to help your operation conform to mandated bylaws. We understand that each greenhouse operation is distinct, and that’s why we offer customizable blackout systems to suit your needs. Whether you require a partial shading system for your greenhouse or a complete blackout system, our products enhance light management and also contribute to energy efficiency, enabling you to reduce your operating costs and improve output.
A single layer of energy curtains can reduce your energy requirements by 25% to 35%. With these savings in mind, single energy curtains pay themselves off within 1-2 years! Using a double screen strategy can provide you with an additional 15% to 20% in energy savings. A double screening system provides you with more flexibility with your growing strategy and generally pays itself off in 3-4 years.
Based in Chatham-Kent, Ontario, our Greenhouse Blackout Systems can be installed throughout Southwestern Ontario and beyond.
Recommended Product:
Obscura
Precious sleep for plants – or neighbors
Double-layered Obscura screens provide the total blackout needed to manage plants that need a shorter day than daylight hours allow. Single-layer Obscura is used with supplemental lighting for plants that need additional light. It keeps the light inside the greenhouse for maximum effect – and restricts the light from disturbing neighbors.
Reasons to choose Obscura:
- Total control over day length for the most sensitive plants
- Effective cooling when a reflective upper surface is chosen
- High energy-saving, especially if one layer is aluminum
- Light emission control that satisfies neighbors and legislation
- Increased productivity when used with supplemental lighting
- More uniformity from supplemental lighting in the growing area
- Good moisture management
