Question 1

What is Vento?

Accepted Answer

Vento® is an advanced tunnel and greenhouse film designed to improve climate control through passive ventilation. Manufactured by Daios Plastics S.A. in Greece, Vento features a patented self-ventilating design that reduces heat and humidity, lowers disease risk, and promotes stronger crop performance.

Question 2

How does Vento’s self-ventilating design work?

Accepted Answer

Vento is engineered with precision perforations that allow hot air to escape while drawing in cooler outside air. This creates continuous airflow without requiring fans or other powered systems, helping to regulate internal temperatures and humidity naturally.

Question 3

What crops benefit most from Vento?

Accepted Answer

Vento has shown exceptional results in berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries), vegetables (tomatoes, capsicums, cucumbers), and leafy greens. It is especially effective in high-value crops where climate consistency and fruit quality are critical.

Question 4

Is Vento suitable for high wind areas?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One of the key advantages of Vento is its ability to equalize air pressure inside the tunnel during strong winds, reducing uplift and structural stress. This makes it ideal for exposed or coastal growing regions.

Question 5

Has Vento been trialled or validated independently?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Vento has undergone field trials with UC Davis and Driscoll’s Mexico, showing measurable improvements in yield, fruit quality, temperature stability, and labour efficiency. Additional trials are underway in various global regions, including Australia.

Question 6

What sizes and specifications are available?

Accepted Answer

Vento is available in a range of widths, thicknesses, and light transmission levels to suit different tunnel types and crop needs. Custom sizing and multi-season durability options are available upon request. Speak with Terrashield for tailored recommendations.

Question 7

How long does Vento last?

Accepted Answer

Depending on your location and UV exposure levels, Vento can be supplied in 36-month, or 48-month lifespans, with full UV stabilization and anti-drip options included.

Question 8

Can I install Vento on existing tunnel structures?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Vento is compatible with most standard low and high tunnel frameworks. Installation is similar to conventional plastic films, though correct alignment of the ventilation holes is essential for optimal performance.

Question 9

Where is Vento made?

Accepted Answer

Vento is manufactured exclusively by Daios Plastics S.A. in Thessaloniki, Greece, a global leader in agricultural films with more than 50 years of manufacturing experience and exports to over 40 countries
