It is a special knitted screen made from metalised fibre which gives it durability and longevity. It acts like a mirror as its unique aluminised nature reflects unwanted sunlight and harmful radiant heat from the greenhouse during summer and preserves heat inside the greenhouse during winter. At night the Aluminet fabric works as a thermal blanket, trapping the heat energy being released by the earth in the shaded area. This will help cut down nightime heat expenses and prevent frost damage to plants during the coldest times of the year.

Its important to note that polycarbonate panels naturally block 10-15% light therefore if you settle for a shade factor of 70% it will inhibit growth of your plants due to inadequate light. Due to the superior reflection abilities and light weight properties of ALUMINET we decided it would be the perfect cloth to cover the outside of a greenhouse instead of using standard shade cloth that often absorbs heat.
