It has been scientifically proved that a moving thermal screen contributes to significant energy saving. It is also clear that light diffusion is as significant as energy saving within the greenhouse. This is the reason behind the development of the SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS.

This particular thermal screen allows the transmission of 88% of direct light and 81% of diffused.

The use of a thermal screen naturally requires a redefinition of strategy concerning your crop. It requires experimentation with light, temperature and humidity levels.

Svensson in cooperation with ANODOS have the experience and the know-how to help you both with installation and with the proper functioning of the thermal screen.

See below some frequently asked questions and their answers:

1. What happens with the transmission of light?

The permeability of the SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS is 88% for direct light and 81% for diffused light. This is 6% more than the previous model and on average 9% more than other thermal screens. Therefore the SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS can remain closed throughout the day.

2. What happens with vapour transfer?

Due to its special construction, the SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS can breathe.

On a practical level this means that it permits the transfer of some vapour keeping relative humidity at ideal levels.

3. How easily is it corroded?

The small amount of condensation prevents the formation of algae so it stays clean for a long period of time.

4. How pliant is it?

Due to its special construction the thermal screen can be folded into a small space, reducing the permanent shade to a minimum.

5. What is its lifespan?

The SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS is resistant to UV rays, heat and chemical substances, thus drastically increasing its life span much more than other thermal screens.

6. Can the SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS be used as a means for solar reflection?

Yes, due to its light diffusing properties, solar rays are blocked thus reducing plant stress.
