Advice
Minimize risks and keep your energy under control. Together, we will determine which screening technique fits your situation best, ensuring you get the most out of your greenhouse.
We provide advice at every stage of the project, whether you are just starting out or if things aren’t going quite as planned. With our customized solutions and smart choices, you can quickly get back to what really matters: your crop.
Just get in contact, we work on-site or remotely, wherever you need us.
Service & maintenance
Leave the annual maintenance to Hortiwest. We plan, order, and install to extend the lifespan of your systems.
We work fast, accurately, with a focus on preventing climate issues before they start.
We offer practical advice to companies with their own technical service so that you can stay focused on cultivation. A stable, reliable partner for all your maintenance.
Horizontal screen installations
A high-quality screen makes your greenhouse more manageable and saves energy. Whether you go for a single, double, or even triple screen, the choice is yours. We will help you based on practical experience and product knowledge, so that the system fits your crop and climate.
Our expertise goes everywhere. From a project in Finland with temperatures down to -20 °C, where a double screen is essential to keep the heat in, to greenhouses in Australia at +35 °C, where screening is used for cooling.
Together, we make an informed choice for both fabric and installation, so that you get the most out of your greenhouse.
Vertical roller & Twin roller screens
Climate control down to the meter. Vertical roller screens allow you to grow flexibly and efficiently.
Take a project we did in the Netherlands. We installed twin roller screens in a large greenhouse and divided it into 20 separate sections. This gave each section its own climate control.
You will be able to create multiple growing zones within a single greenhouse and maintain maximum control over energy consumption and growing strategy.

Insect screen systems
Finding the right balance between insect control and climate control is a customized process. We are here to help you find that balance.
With dozens of different mesh sizes and types available, the choice can be overwhelming. We advise you based on your specific crop, pest pressure, and greenhouse design to find the perfect fit.
Whether it’s bee netting, protection against whitefly, or keeping airflows manageable, we always look for the right balance between airflow and protection.
For an organic grower in Zeeland, we significantly reduced caterpillar pressure with a carefully chosen mesh size and professional installation, while keeping the climate stable.
Do you use organic pesticides? We’ll make sure beneficial insects like predatory mites, spiders, and ladybugs remain inside and can do their work. This keeps your greenhouse biological and healthy, without compromising on ventilation or production.
Air- baffles
Prevent growth delays caused by cold traps and temperature differences in your greenhouse. Dealing with constant draughts above the screen cloth? Ridge seals are designed to control these air currents and distribute the temperature more evenly.
We can advise you on both the quality and quantity of ridge seals. Depending on the depth, surface area, and your specific crop, it is sometimes better to install more than two seals.
In Finland, for example, we installed ridge seals in four different positions in an exceptionally deep greenhouse. This significantly improved air distribution and stabilized the climate.
Dealing with uneven growth or temperature fluctuations? Extra ridge seals can make all the difference.
