Shading is just as critical to maintaining healthy plants in the summer as heating is in the winter. Plant scorch can easily occur due to excessive exposure to direct light and high temperatures. In fact, it isn’t uncommon for summer temperatures to reach a stifling 40°C in unshaded glasshouses.
Deflecting solar heat and creating shade is essential for the wellbeing of both the plants and the people using the greenhouse. Our shading solutions offer year-round benefits. With our interior screens, it is possible to deflect heat back into the greenhouse and reduce the overall area that needs to be heated. This makes them an essential choice for those looking to minimise heat use and maximise energy efficiency during the colder months.
Our handmade cedar shades are a traditional and highly functional shading solution, perfectly reminiscent of the classic blinds used on Victorian kitchen glasshouses.
Sitting below the roofline on the interior of a greenhouse, thermal screens are an incredibly effective way to manage heat, light diffusion, and shade efficiently.
Silver reflective shades are a highly effective external solution for actively reducing temperatures in a glasshouse by deflecting the sun before it reaches the glass.
