Reflecting on innovation, we turn our focus to Ridder’s highly reflective aluminium energy shading screens. Reinvented in 2019, Ridder revolutionized the climate screens market with their flame-retardant properties, meeting the growing demand for enhanced fire safety standards in the US and Canada. These screens offer unique advantages crucial for greenhouse cultivation. Let’s explore these attributes in detail:
Energy Savings up to 68%
Ridder’s Flame-retardant Sun Shading Screen excels in sunlight management. Its closed-structure design enables energy savings of up to 68%, outperforming other single-layer screens. This feature is particularly beneficial for growers in northern climates who require high energy efficiency during colder months and rely on a single screen throughout the year to maintain optimal greenhouse conditions.
Superior Cooling Effect
The open model of the Ridder Sun Shading Screen is engineered for exceptional cooling, making it ideal for tropical climates. By reflecting sunlight, the screen reduces direct exposure to crops, resulting in a cooler greenhouse environment during high temperatures. This deflection of solar energy minimizes heat absorption by plants, crucial for maintaining stable temperatures essential for optimal plant growth.
Quality and Consistency
Serving as a protective barrier against direct sunlight, the shading screen enhances crop yield and quality. It effectively manages moisture levels, reducing the risk of condensation during unexpected temperature drops. This stability is vital for improved crop development and increased productivity. Additionally, the screen helps shield crops from extreme heat, preventing heat stress that can impede growth. Made of robust aluminum, the screen resists corrosion and wear, maintaining its reflective and flame-retardant properties over time for consistent performance.
Moisture Regulation
The aluminum sun shading screen plays a pivotal role in maintaining an optimal moisture balance within the greenhouse. It prevents condensation build-up, which can occur due to sudden temperature drops, by regulating moisture levels. This control is essential in preventing excessive humidity, crucial for maintaining crop health. By blocking direct sunlight, the screen ensures consistent humidity levels, preventing water loss in plants through transpiration. This controlled moisture environment significantly enhances plant growth, yield, and quality.
Reflective Aluminum Top Layer
The aluminium top layer on the screen acts as an effective sunlight reflector. On sunny days, it helps maintain a manageable greenhouse temperature by deflecting excess heat. This reflective quality contributes to energy conservation and enhances climate control within the greenhouse. The design ensures a significant amount of solar radiation is reflected, preventing overheating. The white underlayer of the flame-retardant aluminium film facilitates the combination of high reflectivity and low convection, which prevents the top air layer from warming, maintaining an optimal climate for continuous crop growth.
Information and Possible Rebates
