Climate
Climate control is the key to high yields and product quality.
+ LIGHT
Thanks to streamlined arches and spans of 2.5 to 3 m,
our greenhouses are the brightest on the market. Their
gothic form (27°) allows maximum penetration of light.
+ VOLUME
The towering heights under the gutter and the accentuated
gothic form of bays up to 12.80 m in width provide more
volume per covered square metre, while ensuring a more
stable and easily controllable climate.
+ INSULATION
Double inflated film. Created by RICHEL in 1978.
• Thermal insulation (energy savings of 30%).
• Tighter sheet.
• Longer sheet life.

+ BETTER CONDENSED WATER DRIPPING MANAGEMENT
Humidity and condensation are kept under control in our greenhouses; working closely with our partners and customers in
the field, we have designed condensed water collection systems. Thus, in our greenhouses, dripping is largely controlled.

As designers of horticulture solutions, we have invented key concepts:
ROBUST
To reconcile strength and volume, we
have developed the OV90 tube: made of
high tensile steel, the OV90 tube’s inertia
is twice as great as the 60 mm ovalised
tube made of conventional quality steel.

VARNISHED TUBE
Our attachment clips, tried and proven in every climate for over
40 years, are made using the best materials available on the market.
The coat of varnish applied during the manufacturing of our rectangular
tubes offers twice the protection of a standard tube with Sendzimir
Z275 galvanization (CETIM test, November 2007).
QUALITY OF ASSEMBLIES
The quality of the assemblies is essential to the structure’s resistance to snow and wind stress. Our attachments and connecting parts
are designed and sized with the utmost care, and subjected to rigorous testing in real conditions.

12.80 m
Always pioneers in terms of greater widths, we
have created the 12.80 m-bay model.
This model offers all of the best features of our
greenhouses in terms of light transmission,
climate control, energy savings and ease of
movement.
9.60 m
Robust and luminous, our 9.60 m bay has been
tried and proven on every continent and in every
climate. This high-performance model also features
the latest technological innovations developed by
our design department, such as OV90, the use of
high tensile steel, varnished tubes, etc.
duct range
12.80 TR 500
Equipped with a horizontal trellis beam, this model
offers clearance width of 12.80 m and highly efficient
natural ventilation, thanks to its double arch and
its range of vents.
6.40 m and 8 m
These models feature a ridge articulated vent of
50 %. Benchmarks in the greenhouse industry, our
8 m and 6.40 m models make covering fast and
easy: the roof sheet is only clipped at 2 points, one
at each gutter.
