Aluminum reflective shade cloth

This aluminum shade cloth is layered with several durable insulating fabrics and an outer layer of a highly reflective aluminized shade fabric. This aluminum outer layer helps battle weather damage caused by heat changes. The shade cloth deflects temperature fluctuations while strong enough to endure strong winds and rain. It prevents irradiation damage in plants and fruits and reduces heat in greenhouses during hot days. This reflective shade cloth provides superior year-round climatic protection for flowers, potted plants, and vegetables.

This white aluminum shade cloth is a unique knitted shade fabric made from metalized HDPE (high-density polyethylene). The fibers are produced from mono-oriented HDPE, giving the fiber durability and longevity. After an aluminum metallization process, the films are coated with a special anti-oxidation film.
