LS Climate Control | Svensson Screens

The use of Svensson screens has many benefits for the growing climate inside the greenhouse. Light, temperature and humidity can be controlled with the aid of Svensson screens.

Svensson screens should be installed on a moveable slide system so that you can open and close them, depending on the outside weather conditions and the needs of the crop. Irrespective of the climate and type of greenhouse you have, you can install Svensson screens in it.

The screens are flexible, with an easy-folding structure. Therefore the folded screen is of minimum size, making maximum light transmission possible.

The screens are very versatile and give you excellent control over light, temperature and humidity. This means the best growing conditions for your crop.

Svensson Screens perform three main functions.

They provide shade.

They allow you to control temperature.

They allow you to control relative humidity.

For shading:

With Svensson Screens, you can control light levels in your greenhouse. If the sun is too harsh for growing, Svensson Screens provide shade and reduce plant temperatures. The aluminium content of the screens reflects more than 90% of solar radiation, optimising the shading and cooling effect on the crop. The more aluminium in the screen, the cooler the crop will be.

We recommend theXLS, OLS and Solar Ultra Screens for the best shading.

For temperature control and energy saving:

Svensson Screens can be used to conserve energy in your greenhouse in the evenings. The heat accumulated in your greenhouses can leak out at night, plummeting plant temperatures and causing stress to your crops. By using a Svensson Screen with a high aluminium content, heat will be conserved throughout the evening, which can save you up to 50% on heating costs.

We recommend the OLS, Solar Ultra and XLS screens for the best in energy conservation.

For humidity control:

Controlling the humidity is essential for eliminating disease. With a Svensson Screen the humidity levels can be regulated and condensation, and therefore dew drops on the plants, is reduced. The screens are designed so that you can still close them and allow the humidity to escape if desired. Their polyester composition means that they have a temperature similar to the environment, reducing the likeliness of condensation developing and dripping onto the crop.

We recommend the XLS and SLS 10 Ultra range for humidity control.

The kind of screen you choose depends on what climate you grow in. Some screens provide better shade, against strong, clear sunlight, and some screens provide better ventilation in hot and humid areas.

The screens will all perform the same functions at varying degrees depending on what the focus of the particular screen is.

Moveable screens

The ideal set up is to combine two different moveable Svensson screens. This way, you can adjust and control exactly the levels of light, heat and humidity, all through the times of the day and the seasons of the year. This variable screen system gives you:

Optimum shading and cooling
Maximum energy savings
Day and night humidity control
