Outdoor screen
Outdoor screens for a cool and stable greenhouse climate
An outdoor screen prevents the sun’s heat from entering the greenhouse by reducing the solar radiation already above the greenhouse roof. As a result, the temperature can be controlled more effectively, the cooling requirement decreases, and a more uniform climate is created for the crop.
Boers Scherming advises, supplies and installs outdoor screens that are fully tailored to the greenhouse, the cultivation, and the desired climate strategy.
The benefits
Less heating of the greenhouse
Because solar radiation is already blocked outside the greenhouse, the internal temperature rises less quickly.
A more stable growing climate
A more uniform climate ensures better growing conditions and less stress for the crop.
Less cooling requirement
Because the temperature stays lower, often less ventilation or additional cooling is needed.
Optimal light control
Depending on the screen fabric, the amount of sunlight is controlled without unnecessary loss of light.
Suitable for a wide range of crops
For both vegetable, fruit and ornamental cultivation, outdoor screens can make a valuable contribution to climate control.
Custom-made for every greenhouse
Each installation is tailored to the dimensions of the greenhouse, its location, and the grower’s requirements.
For greenhouses where climate management is central
Applications
Outdoor screens are used by horticultural companies where protection against excessive solar radiation is important.
Suitable for, among other things:
- Vegetable cultivation
- Ornamental cultivation
- Plant nurseries
- Growing-on businesses
- New build projects
- Renovation of existing greenhouses
Together, we’ll look at which screen solution best matches the greenhouse and the specific climate requirements of the crop.
An outdoor screen is regularly combined with other systems to control the climate even more precisely.
For retaining heat during cold periods.
For full or partial blackout when the crop requires it.
For additional protection against solar radiation via the sides of the greenhouse.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an outdoor screen and an energy screen?
An outdoor screen keeps solar heat out of the greenhouse, while an energy screen is designed to retain heat inside the greenhouse. Both systems have a different function, but they can be combined very well.
Can an outdoor screen be installed on every greenhouse?
In many cases, yes. The options depend on the greenhouse structure and the technical situation. We would be happy to assess this during an inventory.
Does an outdoor screen help against high temperatures?
Yes. Because solar radiation is limited even before it reaches the glass, the greenhouse warms up more slowly and the climate can be managed more effectively.
Can an outdoor screen be controlled automatically?
Yes. Modern outdoor screens can be connected to a climate computer, so the screen automatically responds to solar radiation, temperature, and weather conditions.
Does Boers Scherming also take care of installation?
Yes. We handle the entire process: from advice and delivery to installation, maintenance, and any expansions.
