The Solexx Panels

The unique twin-walled design of Solexx Paneling makes it far stronger than film greenhouse glazing. In addition, the air space between the two walls creates a protective insulation barrier that keeps greenhouses much warmer that single-wall pr polyethylene film coverings. Solexx Paneling combines the light diffusion of film with the strength of polycarbonate - at a price that is about one-half the cost of expensive greenhouse coverings.

Insect Screens

Given the increased problems and costs associated with pesticides, no modern greenhouse should be without the proper insect barrier. Insect Screens, correctly installed, prevent insect penetration, yet provide maximum possible air flow, essential for optimal crop yields.

Regardless of the cooling and ventilating system that you use, you need to consider insect screen. Screening intake vents will produce dramatic results, but all greenhouse openings, including service doors (which should incorporate double screened doors), should be screened for best results .

Aquaponics System

The aquaponic system is popular in the educational market since it can be used to show the cycle of life and mutual beneficial relationships. In the course of a school year, the fish growth rates can be calculated by your students. There are ample opportunities for classes to do scientific testing of the water quality and qualitative fish data analysis of the system.

The Benefits of Aluminet Shade Cloth

ALUMINET provides for more diffused light in the plant canopy. With black shade cloth, the net will absorb rays of light coming from low angles. Because ALUMINET is reflective, it will allow much of this low angle, (diffused) light to pass through the net into the canopy. In permanent installations, this can allow for more light into the canopy during the low light periods in early morning or late afternoon. While the benefits of diffused light have been minimally documented, personal testimonies suggestions many benefits including: 1) Higher yield, especially in tall canopy crops. With direct light, the upper leaves get excess light and the lower leaves are in shade. With diffused light, the light is spread more evenly throughout the canopy. In a greenhouse tomato study in Israel, a 6-7% increase in tomato yield (11,574 kg vs. 10,866 kg for one manufacturer and 9972 kg vs. 9094 kg for a second manufacturer) was seen for films with diffusive agents (comparisons include the same films with and without the diffusive additives).
