Do you want to improve your greenhouse climate?

Managing light and temperature in your greenhouse is critical to ensuring healthy crops and higher yields. Not all crops can tolerate full sunlight and high temperatures, which is where shading paints and diffuse coatings come in. These innovative solutions help protect your plants from light damage by reflecting or diffusing sunlight, allowing for an optimal greenhouse climate.
Boost yields
Keep your crops healthy by controlling light exposure.
Easy removal
Convenient to apply and remove when needed.
Climate control
Maintain consistent temperatures for healthier plants.
Flexible application
Easily applied manually or mechanically for seamless integration.
Types of shading agents
Shading agents come in both liquid and powder forms. We offer liquid shading agents, diffuse coatings, and powder options to help you create the ideal greenhouse climate. No matter what you grow, there’s a shading solution tailored to your needs.

Crops respond uniquely to different light and climate conditions. Light-demanding crops such as roses, tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers thrive in full sunlight but require protection from excessive radiation. Conversely, shade-loving plants, including many potted plants and orchids, benefit from significant shade. Contact our specialists for custom advice.

Q4 White has a life span of 8-25 weeks depending on dosage. You can increase the percentage of white by adding more product for increased shade. However, some crops are sensitive to excessive greenhouse shading paint that exceeds the 65% percentage. Q3 can be used for higher shading percentages, but is less weather resistant and more suitable for short-term shading.
