Aluminet

What is Aluminet?

Aluminet is a metalized screen that reflects the long-wave length infrared radiations and stops them from entering or leaving the field. It is mostly used in greenhouses and nurseries to regulate the optimum temperature required for the crops. Its open weave structure allows better ventilation, and moisture to pass through than the solid screens,diminishing the humidity inside the area.

What are the Different Types of Aluminet?

As the usage of the Aluminet depends on the environmental conditions so different grades of Aluminet have been developed, ranging from 30% shade to nearly 80% shade, each of which has its own usages.

The different types of Aluminet areas under:

• 20% to 30% Aluminet
• 30% to 40% Aluminet
• 40% to 50% Aluminet
• 50% to 60% Aluminet
• 60% to 70% Aluminet
• 70% to 80% Aluminet
• 80% to 90% Aluminet
• 90% to 99% Aluminet

Note: One of the Caveats to Notice is that the Diffused Light Decreases as the Density Increases

· 20% to 30% Aluminet: Plants, including but not limited totomatoes, Gooseberries, etc. that are most tolerant to heat or need more heatare to be covered by this type of Aluminet.

· 30% to 40% Aluminet:  Most of the Aluminet in this range is used for more heat-tolerant plants such as roses, strawberries.

· 40% to 50% Aluminet: Lilies and Vegetables are protected mostly by making use of this range of Aluminet.

· 50% to 60% Aluminet: This type of Aluminet is used for moderate pressure environments and it can be used for plants including Orchids,Pot plants.

· 60% to 70% Aluminet: This range is suitable for orchidsof the type Oncidiums.

· 70% to 80% Aluminet: It is used for plants including Ferns, Philodendron that is most prone to heat damage and are in heavy heat climates.

· 80% to 90% Aluminet: This type of netting is suitable for Coffee, Tea.

· 90% to 99% Aluminet: These are usually employed for usages other than agriculture such as vehicular shading.

A 30% density Aluminet provides around 72% diffused light where as a 70% Aluminet provides only about 45%.

A mixture of Aluminet, having different Aluminet densities, has usually been advised as it is the most cost-effective method. Having multiple options is often the best strategy.

Why is Aluminet Important for Plants?

Heat control and the energy conversation are the main fronts where aluminet is important for plants.

Since aluminet first came out around 20years, it has evolved tremendously, and the modern generations are so designedthat they are environment friendly, and enable to protect crops against harmful environmental agents such as UV rays.

Contrary to traditional shade clothes, and also the solid screens, aluminet is build paying special attention to cater tothe proper ventilation needs of the field.

Note that aluminet is not the product forhot climates only. To get it simple, it functions as a mirror, that does not allow the ceratin heat rays, the IR radiations, to pass through. This property is important in trapping the heat inside the greenhouses to conserve energy inthe colder regions.

Aluminet also protects the fruits from sunburn. In turn, the fruits are high-quality that bring in more value.

Last but not the least, the Aluminet O has a tough build to endure high-speed winds and weather oddities.

Benefits of Installing Aluminet:

Most of the benefits of using Aluminet areas under:

· Allowed better ventilation and moisture permeability

· Controls temperature

· Long-lasting

· Impervious to deteriorating atmospheric conditions

· Easy to set up

· Safeguards plants from UV rays, and extreme weather condition

· Allows the low-angled light to pass through, and distributes it equally to all plants, even at the time of little light as dawn and dusk.

Where is Aluminet Most Commonly Used?

The common use of the aluminet is in nurseries and greenhouses to manage the temperature and maintains it in the range required for the crop.

Though the two kinds of the aluminet,Aluminet ‘O’, and Aluminet “I” were tagged to be for outdoors, and indoors respectively, both are used outdoors.

But there is no limit to creativity. As aluminets are also being used to cover the cars, and in other settings such as fish farms to provide shade.

6 Steps on How to Choose Aluminet for Your Farms/Fields.

The most important things to consider while choosing an Aluminet are as under

Step 1.

The environment, and atmospheric pressure, will mostly dictate the choice of Aluminet.  If the farm is in a colder region, ahigh-density shade will do more harm than good as it will prevent most heat from reaching the plants.

Step 1a.

A low-density shade will make sure most heat and sunlight reaches the plants for optimum growth.

Step 1b.

A moderate density shade is most useful for normal temperature and moderate pressure situations.

Step 1c.

High pressure or high-temperature solutions require thata high-density shade is employed, but it should be used for a number of days ata time only; otherwise, the plants might get starved.

Step 2:

Looks for the quality of the material.

Step 3:

Check if the aluminet is knitted or woven. Knitted are preferred since they are lighter than woven.

Step 4:

Check if the short listed option aligns with your budget.

Step 5:

Make sure that the netting size is compatible with the area of your garden.

Step 6:

Check if the material is UV protected. If not, it will eventually degrade and would not last long.

Note: For plants like tomatoes that need hotter conditions, you would probably need a low-density Aluminet whereas, for those as cucumber, colder conditions are required; thus high-density aluminet would be required.

How to Install Aluminet?

The installation process for Aluminet issimple and involves the following steps.

Step1.

Erect up the tunnel or the canopy around the greenhouse/ field which you want to cover.

Step 2.

Make sure there is support on all sides ofthe field/farm.

Step 3.

The middle line of supports is often most important in the canopy building of the farms. It needs to be secured so that the Aluminet remains fixed over it.

Step 4.

If you have a custom-size aluminet made,  start fastening it to the screws via the holes at the end of the Aluminet.

Step 5.

Run a wire from corner to corner of the field in order to provide an ‘X’ shape base for the Aluminet where it can rest.

Step 6.

Fasten it to the supports from all of the sides with the help of taut knots and then erect the Aluminet over the top of the canopy or the tunnel.

Tips for Aluminet:

Dos:

1. Carry out proper maintenance especially if the Aluminet is being used consistently in aseason; look for tears and to prevent possible fraying.

2. Do secure it tight using hooks and clamps to prevent it from swaying in the wind.

3. Do have extrasupport in the middle so that the Aluminet does not sag in the middle

4. Do maintain a scheduled up keep program to prevent the Aluminet from getting too many tears.

Don’ts

1. Don’t underestimate the energy efficiency provided by the application as it increases energy efficiency up to 17%.

2. Don’t use a high-density shade in low sunlight areas, as the plants will starve due to not having enough sunlight.

3. Don’t Buy Aluminet in the summer as the prices rise steeply during the time, consider getting an estimate in the winter and making a purchase in the same season.

4. Don’t Block off ventilation vents with the Aluminet;  having a well-regulated ventilation system is ideal.

5. Don’t Skip on watering plants twice a day on hot summer days even with the shade, as the effect of humidity might damage the plants.
