Greenhouse
curtain systems may also be known as blankets, shades, and screens.
They provide for both heating and cooling needs. This is done with moveable
panels which can cover and uncover spaces as necessary. The panels may
be created from fabric or plastic film.
When it comes to heat retention, greenhouse curtain systems are most
valuable at night. This is when heat demand is the greatest. These options
save energy by reflecting heat into the structure, trapping an insulating
layer of air, and reducing the area which must be heated.
Greenhouse curtain systems can provide for cooling needs by reducing
indoor light intensity. Through the use of aluminized polyester strips,
they can reflect light back outside through the roof of the green house.
They are a cheaper option over time than applying and reapplying shade
paint.
