The SchermNed insect filter netting system is globally applicable. With this system, you can affordably and environmentally protect your crops from unwanted insects. Simultaneously, it retains desired insects, maintaining an optimal climate.

To keep pest insects out while maximizing light penetration into the greenhouse, growers have been able to opt for frameless ventilation windows in new construction greenhouses for a number of years now. Until recently, it seemed impossible for growers to install insect netting in these frameless windows. However, it is now possible in two ways!

Insect netting specialist SchermNed has increased the UV stability of its insect netting. This entails a further development of the special insect netting filter that the company has supplied for years. Netting with a kilo-Langley value (kly) of 1350 becomes the new filter standard. This news comes from Carl Stougie and Jack van der Voort of the Westland-based screen installation company, specialists in insect netting since 1990.

We have successfully obtained the HortiQ certificate. The certificate was awarded to Jack van der Voort (director) and Martin Steenks (QHSE manager) by Kiwa, a testing, inspection, and certification body for quality systems. The process was guided by Marco Vermeulen from Van Houten & Partners, a consultancy firm for the horticultural sector.

It was Jack van der Voort's father from SchermNed who came up with a self-developed insect netting filter system years ago. It is an alternative to the much better-known harmonica netting system in horticulture.
