Why Insulation Blankets Aren’t Recommended for Greenhouses

In agricultural cultivation, multi-span greenhouses are popular due to their excellent structural design and efficient use of natural resources. However, when it comes to insulation needs, Chengfei Greenhouse does not recommend using internal insulation blankets. Here, we will explain why, based on the impact on lighting, temperature control, ventilation, operational complexity, and cost-efficiency.

1. The Importance of Lighting Efficiency

Multi-span greenhouses are designed to maximize the use of natural light, which is essential for photosynthesis and healthy plant growth. However, using internal insulation blankets can block some of this light, especially during winter or cloudy weather. This reduction in light can slow down plant growth and affect overall yield and quality. Chengfei Greenhouse suggests using specialized insulation curtains designed for multi-span greenhouses. These curtains allow for better light penetration while still providing sufficient insulation.

2. Insufficient Temperature Control

Although the primary purpose of internal insulation blankets is to retain heat, their effectiveness is often limited. Multi-span greenhouses cover large areas and have high ceilings, making it impractical to use thick blankets like those used in traditional solar greenhouses. As a result, only thin insulation blankets can be applied, which offer limited temperature control. At night, when temperatures drop, these blankets may not provide adequate protection, and plants can suffer from cold stress. In contrast, Chengfei Greenhouse offers insulation curtain systems that provide stable temperature control and can be adjusted according to specific needs, making them more suitable for modern agricultural production.

3. Ventilation Issues

Proper ventilation is crucial for plant health. Using internal insulation blankets can obstruct airflow within the greenhouse, leading to poor ventilation. This can result in higher humidity levels and create ideal conditions for pests and diseases. In multi-span greenhouses, these issues can be even more pronounced due to their size. Chengfei Greenhouse ensures that the design of the greenhouse promotes optimal air circulation, helping farmers maintain healthy plants by reducing the risk of pests and diseases.

4. Operational Complexity and High Maintenance Costs

Installing and operating internal insulation blankets in multi-span greenhouses can be challenging. Due to the large space, setting up and managing these blankets requires significant manpower and time. Additionally, frequent use can lead to operational issues such as malfunctioning or damage, increasing the complexity of production management and maintenance costs. Chengfei Greenhouse recommends using automated insulation curtain systems, which significantly reduce the need for manual operation and improve production efficiency.

5. Cost-efficiency Considerations

From an economic perspective, the long-term use of internal insulation blankets can be expensive. In addition to the initial installation costs, frequent maintenance and replacement can strain a farmer’s budget. Given the limited insulation effectiveness, farmers may not see an adequate return on their investment. Chengfei Greenhouse offers solutions that are both cost-effective and durable, helping farmers extend product lifespan and achieve higher returns on investment.

Chengfei Greenhouse does not recommend using internal insulation blankets in multi-span greenhouses due to their limitations in lighting, temperature control, ventilation, and cost-efficiency. Instead, we advocate for using specialized insulation curtain systems designed for multi-span greenhouses. These systems provide reliable insulation, are easy to operate, and offer better economic value.
