Paint On Shading From Two Wests Puts Others In The Shade
Painting a ‘whitewash’ shade on the greenhouse seems to put a jinx on summer sunshine for many gardeners, leaving the plants inside at a disadvantage in overcast or rainy weather. But there is an alternative – weather-sensitive shading from Two Wests and Elliott, the UK’s leading mail-order garden supplies company.
Greenhouse shading is a fast-drying, paint-on material which reacts to prevailing weather conditions. In dry weather it turns white, reflecting the sun’s rays and protecting the plants inside the greenhouse from excessive heat and glare while allowing them to grow steadily and without sudden stresses. In damp or wet conditions the protective film becomes clearer, allowing for improved light transmission and making the most of what is availcataable to the plants.
A single application of our greenhouse shading remains effective for up to seven months and although it is not washed off by rain it can easily be removed when required by rubbing with a damp cloth or brush. Supplied in concentrated form, greenhouse shading is diluted at around one part to two parts water, but this can be varied to give the desired level of shading. It is easy to apply to the outside of the greenhouse either by brush or spray – and the good news is Gardening Naturally's shading spreads evenly and does not clog sprayers.
An 11 kg tube of greenhouse shading will shade an area of around 300 square feet, which is enough to cover a greenhouse measuring eight feet by ten feet. Gardening Naturally Standard, is suitable for use on glass, polythene and other polyethylene-based plastics, while Gardening Naturally Special, must be used on polycarbonate glazing.
