Horizontal blackout screen
Horizontal blackout screens for optimal light control
A horizontal blackout screen provides maximum control over the amount of light in the greenhouse. By fully or partially closing the screen, natural daylight can be precisely regulated.
This allows you to create the right conditions for crops where light control is essential.
Boers Scherming advises, supplies, and installs blackout screens that are fully tailored to your greenhouse, your cultivation, and the desired climate strategy.
