It has been proven that a movable energy screen makes it possible to reach substantial energy savings. But at Svensson, we know that while saving energy is important, it is not necessarily more important than achieving the maximum possible light transmission into the greenhouse. That is why we developed the SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS.
We take a step further with this new energy screen. Figures such as 88% direct and 81% diffuse light transmission say a lot. What says even more, for example, is the saving of 15 cubic metres of gas per square metre for pepper, tomato and cucumber growers.

Of course, using an energy screen requires a different growing strategy. Or, to put it another way, requires experimentation with light, temperature and humidity levels. Sufficient knowledge about these aspects is now available, certainly at Svensson.

We are happy to help you get started. This is a technical breakthrough with many details that may not all be addressed here. If you would like to know more, we or your installer would be happy to provide you with more information.

The most frequently asked questions about SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS.

1. How about light transmission?
Excellent: the direct light transmission is 88%, the diffuse light transmission is 81%. That is an impressive 6% more than this screen’s predecessor, the SLS 10 ULTRA, and no less than 9% more than alternative screens. Consequently, the screen can remain closed during the day at the start of the season.

2. How many cubic metres of gas can I save annually using the SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS?
With normal use, you can easily save 15 cubic metres of gas per square metre.

3. Does the SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS comply with the requirements of the Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme?
Yes.

4. What is the story with the water vapour transmission of this screen?
Thanks to the special knitted structure, SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS is able to breathe. This allows excess water vapour to pass through, without letting the air humidity drop too low at the start of the season.

5. How prone is it to becoming dirty?
Minimum condensation prevents algae growth and the screen remains clean for a long time.

6. Is the SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS flexible enough?
Yes, thanks to its knitted structure, the screen easily folds up into a small package, minimising shading as much as possible.

7. How long does the screen last?
SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS is resistant to UV, heat and chemicals, so it lasts a very long time - longer than other types of fabric with normal use.

8. Can the SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS be used as a solar reflection screen?
Yes, thanks to the light diffusing properties of the material, bright sunrays are blocked, so you prevent plant stress.

9. So what are we waiting for?
Right you are. Contact your installer or us to get to know the most translucent energy screen around: THE SLS 10 ULTRA PLUS.
