Introduction
Aluminet Shade Cloth is a shade net made of aluminum foil.
It has a very good shading rate, which can be up to 99%.
It has been used extensively for shading many areas, such as greenhouse shading or providing shade for animals.
We all know about Aluminet shade cloth, but did you know it is divided into internal and external shade cloths? What are the characteristics of each of them?
This article will explain these two types of Aluminum and hopefully guide you in choosing one.
What is Aluminet Shade Cloth?
Aluminet is made from lightweight, breathable, and durable fabric.
It is the best solution for your farm, garden, pets, and more.
Aluminet shade cloths have excellent shading ability. They are a great solution for protecting pets or crops, from greenhouses to farms.
Aluminet shade cloth is made from aluminized fabric to reflect sunlight.
Because of its ability to reflect and lightweight, it is the best cloth.
It can cover the outside of a greenhouse better than ordinary black shade cloth.
It plays a vital role in maintaining the right temperature for plants because a high temperature is harmful to them.
In addition to this, the Aluminet has an excellent insulating effect.
At night, when the temperature can be low, Aluminet screens help to maintain the temperature inside the greenhouse.
What is the material of Aluminet?
The Aluminet mesh mainly has strips of aluminum foil woven through a unique process, using monofilament PES or HDPE to weave it into a precise and flat mesh structure.
The HDPE is reinforced with a UV-resistant component, which enhances the strength and durability of the foil mesh.
This change in the material ensures it will last for more than five years outdoors.
It can be used outdoors for a long time and withstands all kinds of tests, such as UV rays and rain. It avoids the weaknesses of pure aluminum foil, which is very fragile.
The shading rate, reflective rate, and diffuse effect can also be adjusted by adjusting the aluminum foil, transparent film, or blank strip ratio according to the greenhouse’s needs.
2 Types of Aluminet Shade Cloth
Depending on whether they are used inside or outside the greenhouse, Aluminet shade nets are divided into interior and outdoor Aluminet shade cloths.
Here are the differences, advantages, and disadvantages of these two nets.
Interior Aluminet Shade Cloth
Interior Aluminet, also called “Aluminet I,” is a shade cloth inside the greenhouse canopy.
Its main component is a strip of aluminum foil woven into a mesh using polyester yarn.
It is soft and easy to roll, making it ideal for use inside the greenhouse. There are no obstacles to rolling it, and it is easy to use.
For internal shading,
the weave can be such that the aluminum foil strips are arranged in a specific ratio with the transparent film strips, which facilitates shading and has a thermal insulation and diffuse reflection effect.
Outdoor Aluminet Shade Cloth
In the beginning, there was no distinction between inside and outside shading nets; they were all designed to be of the inside type.
However, a few years ago, our customers found that this type of netting was not strong enough for outdoor use and was prone to breakage.
So we changed from polyester to HDPE（a material more suitable for outdoor use） woven into what became “Aluminet O.” UV has also been added to the HDPE to make it more durable for long-term outdoor use.
Of course, because HDPE is not as soft as polyester thread, it is unsuitable for use where repeated stretching is required.
After covering the roof with outdoor shading nets, these may not be rolled for several months.
For “Aluminet O,” the weave can consist of several strips of aluminum foil plus a blank strip, which helps circulate air and prevents hot air from collecting on the roof.
EyouAgro Aluminet Shade Cloth vs. Traditional Aluminet Shade Cloth
EyouAgro Aluminet Shade Cloth
EyouAgro Aluminet shade cloth is woven so that the strips of Aluminet aluminum foil are flatly embedded in the plastic wireframe of the mesh.
The aluminum foil strip is not twisted, ensuring it is flat and adequately reflects light and heat.
An excellent reflective cross-section ensures a sufficient reflective effect for the Aluminet to perform better in the greenhouse.
Traditional Aluminet Shade Cloth
The traditional Aluminet shade cloth, which is prepared using a twisted weave of the aluminum foil strips themselves, affects the surface area of the Aluminet and has a poor shading effect.
It is difficult to control reflectivity well because you cannot calculate how much your foil strip is twisted.
This is the biggest drawback of this traditional method of weaving Aluminet shade cloth.
This is why most greenhouses on the market today use the latest Aluminet shade cloth, which provides better shading and has a more aesthetic appearance.
Extreme sunlight can be harmful to your greenhouse or animals.
The innovative design and reflective surface of Aluminet can help you reflect sunlight and reduce heat through air circulation.
EyouAgro Aluminet can have a premium reflection.
Its airy fabric allows optimal air circulation, providing the most suitable indoor environment for your plants.
