Aluminet shade cloth

The special Aluminet™ fabric

Are you looking for a solution to your sweltering hot greenhouse during the summer? Do you love your warm greenhouse in the winter but dread working out there during the summer? Or maybe you would rather not be limited to working in the early hours of the morning before it gets too hot.

If so, then you could benefit from installing an aluminet shade cloth in your greenhouse.

What is aluminet?

Aluminet is a metal fabric that has been knit together using a specialized metallicized material.

When you are choosing a shade cloth, there are many types of fabrics to choose from. Most notably, the two most common choices are knit and woven fabrics. However, aluminet knit cloths are a great new addition to shade cloths. They not only protect the sun from getting in, but the metal fabric actually acts like a mirror, reflecting the light away.

This can help keep the sun out in the summer and the heat in during the winter months. An aluminet shade cloth can reduce the temperature of a green house by around ten degrees during the summer. This can make your sweltering greenhouse much more comfortable to work and will help your plants to lose less water. Saving water is another great benefit of installing an aluminet shade cloth.

How does a shade cloth work?

A shade cloth covers your plants, usually in a greenhouse to prevent your plants from overheating. Plants need sunlight to grow. However, too much sunlight can cause the soil to dry out, the leaves to burn, and for the plant to wilt from heat.

Putting a shade cloth over a section of your greenhouse, or the entire structure, can provide much needed shade for your plants. They are also nice for you when you are working in your greenhouse in the dead heat of summer, having shade is much more pleasant.
