Dual Atrium
Commercial Greenhouse
Growers using the Dual Atrium have experienced reduced need for chemical and growth regulators, along with reduced operating costs by minimizing the need for use of cooling equipment.
Outstanding Growing Conditions:
- The roof vent vertically opens to 85 degrees.
- With individual motors you have zone opening ability allowing you total flexibility in cooling and venting.
- Fewer obstructions than other full open roof style structures leading to higher light levels.
- Total versatility for all crops at all stages.
- Temperatures are within 1 degree of fully open roofs with significant reduction in cost and maintenance.
- The roof can close in less than three minutes.
