8-year-warranty

FIRST GREENHOUSE SCREEN ON THE MARKET WITH AN 8-YEAR WARRANTY (*)

Phormium screens are exceptionally strong. Unlike traditional knitted screens, most Phormium screens (**) are woven. This unique construction offers significant benefits:

  • High-quality, durable yarns. Phormium uses high-performance yarns such as HDPE. The Phormium factory in Lokeren has state-of-the-art production facilities and produces most of its yarns in-house.
  • A robust, durable structure. The unique woven technology provides yarns in both directions of the screen. This creates a robust, durable structure designed for many years of efficient use.
  • Longer service life and lower cost of ownership. The extended lifespan of woven screens can significantly reduce replacement, labour and disposal costs. In the case study below, the cost of ownership is more than 30% lower.
  • Backed by a unique 8 year warranty.
  • A more sustainable choice. The long service life of the woven Phormium screens means that they are the most sustainable & environmentally friendly choice. Choosing a Phormium screen contributes to reducing the consumption of fossil-fuel-based materials.

The Phormium factory in Lokeren (BE) is part of the world-famous weaving industry in Flanders. Phormium has translated the advanced high-tech knowledge of weaving into superior screen solutions. As the only woven screen manufacturer in the world, Phormium is fully vertically integrated: from yarn extrusion, weaving beam production, weaving & knitting to tailor-made finishing, Phormium has all the know-how under one roof!

For more than 30 years, Phormium has been a leading global player in the segment of screens for horticultural greenhouses. Growers all over the world, with greenhouses in the most diverse climate zones, experienced first-hand that the woven Phormium screens are unbeatable in terms of lifespan.

Based on that experience, Phormium extends the warranty on all woven screens to 8 years(**). Of course, the real lifespan of the woven Phormium screens is often considerably longer. Depending on the specific circumstances, the screens can last up to twice the warranty period.

Testimonials

Lider Gida, Turkey

Erdem Çelik, General Manager of Lider Gıda, Turkey:

"We have been using Phormium woven screens for many years in our tomato greenhouses. We choose Phormium because, in addition to excellent shading and energy-saving properties, they also have an incomparably long lifetime. It ensures that we can save significantly on the replacement costs of the screen, the labor costs and the associated organization. In other words, the cost of ownership is a lot lower compared to knitted screens.

Lider Gıda (Trabzon, TR) is one of the largest producers of quality tomatoes in Turkey with 37ha of greenhouses "

Sanfiero Orchids, The Netherlands

Lennart Stolze , General Manager of Sanfiero Orchids, The Netherlands:

“We were looking for an energy screen which was strong and durable so it would last for years and that’s how we ended up at Phormium. More than 13 years ago, PhormiTex Bright was installed in the first part of the greenhouse and we are still happy with it.

Therefore, it was logical that last year, when we renovated the other part of the greenhouse, we chose to work with the Belgian manufacturer Phormium again.”
