Abstract: An apparatus for screening off large surfaces, for instance glass surfaces, growing surfaces or the like and a method of assembling such apparatus for screening off is described. The apparatus includes at least one curtain (14), for example a greenhouse curtain, which is held up by a number of support lines (12) along which the curtain is mobile for opening or closing it. The curtain includes a number of suspension lines (26) integrated in the curtain across the support lines (12), which suspension lines (26) are freely mobile along the length of the curtain. The support lines (12) can be coupled together by one or several of the suspension lines (26) via connectors. At least some of the suspension lines (26) integrated in the curtain (14) are stretched between at least some of the support lines (12). When stretched the suspension lines (26) are freely mobile in the curtain and in the said connectors (15) and at least some of the connectors (15) are attachable to the suspension lines (26).

Abstract: Greenhouse screen for use as a filter for short-day treatment of plants and made of a film, textile, non-woven material or a combination thereof with high light resitance and good weathering conditions. The greenhouse screen at least partly consists of a material which in one or more layers has high absorption of light in a significant part of the wavelength interval 575-800 nm and with substantially total absorption in the wavelength interval 600-750 nm and which has high transmittance of light in the wavelength interval 400-575 nm.
