Ten reasons growers switch to screens.
Greenhouse climate screens transform what's possible inside a glasshouse — accelerating growth, cutting heating costs, and giving growers fine control over the environment their plants live in. Here's what the research and decades of grower experience consistently show.
Most plants need shade — but if you move the shade, plants develop up to 15% faster.
Diffused shade equals more photosynthesis — and more photosynthesis equals 5–10% more growth.
Plant temperature can be up to 11°C cooler in summer with the right screen.
In winter, plants can be up to 4°C warmer, protecting against cold stress.
Plants stay drier with less disease when humidity is properly managed.
Winter heating costs reduced by up to 47% with energy-saving screens.
Plant quality improves through balanced light and temperature exposure.
Harmony light diffusion screens reduce water, fertiliser, and overall running costs.
Worker comfort is improved with cooler, less harsh greenhouse conditions.
Greater control over the climate means greater profits, year after year.
How climate screens change the climate.
From the basic principle to the science of nighttime heat loss — see what's actually happening inside a greenhouse fitted with Svensson screens.

Five engineered solutions from Ludvig Svensson, each built for a specific greenhouse climate challenge. Click through for full specifications, key benefits, and frequently asked questions for each product.
Pest Control
Xsect Insect Nets
Ventilated pest-control nets that block harmful insects while keeping airflow and beneficials inside. Cooler, less humid, more productive greenhouses.
Explore Energy SavingLuxous Energy Screens
The brightest energy saver. Maximum daylight reaches the crop, condensation is absorbed, and bundle size stays minimal — even when not in use.
Explore Light DiffusionHarmony Light Diffusion
Gentle, scattered sunlight that reaches deeper into the canopy. Healthier plants, more even growth, cooler fruit and flowers.
Explore Shade + CoolingSolaro Reflective Shade
Aluminium strips in an open weave reflect direct sun while letting hot air vent upward. Built for hot climates where cooling and ventilation matter most.
Explore BlackoutObscura Blackout Screens
Total blackout for sensitive day-length crops, plus light-emission control that satisfies neighbours and meets local legislation.
Explore Shade + EnergyTempa Shading Energy
Aluminium strips in a closed structure deliver the greatest energy savings of any screen — and double as effective daytime shading.
