Cravo has three
basic types of curtain system
 interior
curtain systems that are custom designed to be installed inside greenhouses
manufactured by others;
interior/
exterior curtain systems that are designed to be installed inside
greenhouses with roofs that retract or open; and
exterior
curtain systems that are installed above greenhouses.

All Cravo curtain systems are “suspended;” i.e. the curtain
fabric is hung from specially designed patented hooks that slide on stainless
steel wires.
Interior Custom Designed Curtain Systems
Cravo has a long-standing reputation as one of the premier suppliers
of custom designed curtain systems. Faster and easier installation
are the result of putting the effort into designing and manufacturing
the curtain systems so that they are made to measure.
Curtain fabrics from the leading suppliers are available to allow
for optimum shading, cooling, heat retention or blackout. Fire retardant
fabrics are available for applications where fire codes must be met.

Fabric life is maximized since
curtains are suspended from hooks which slide on stainless steel

Optional seal extrusions provide
tight energy seal. |

Indoor/Outdoor Curtain Systems
Cravo has again led the way on indoor/outdoor curtain systems for
use inside greenhouses with roofs that open or retract. To ensure
that the curtain systems are designed to withstand the sun (UV),
wind or rain, our suspended curtain systems use many of the components
used on our retractable roofs. Fabric life on the curtain system
is also maximized since we are able to use some of the fabrics that
were originally designed for use on the retractable flat roof greenhouse
on which they are constantly exposed to the elements.

Exterior Curtain Systems
Exterior curtain systems are used primary above greenhouses to help
cool them when the existing cooling and ventilation system has proven
to be insufficient. The design is very similar to a retractable
flat roof greenhouse except that the structure to which the curtain
system is fastened must be attached to the existing greenhouse structure
and is usually cable braced along either the sidewalls or gables.
Installing the curtain system above the greenhouse
has many benefits. For example, this system can
stop
the heat before it enters the greenhouse (The cooling effect is
similar to a cloud passing by the sun);
help
compensate for the ventilation loss if the vents are screened; and
help
extend the life of the roof covering by reducing UV exposure.
