Air Flow Systems
GreenJacket® AFS System and Bubble
We are excited to introduce the GreenJacket AFS (Air Freeflow System) insulation. We have been listening! While our Foam Insulation will still be available, we are answering the call for a better method of insulating, while allowing for even BETTER air movement under the IMPERMEABLE GreenJacket Turf Cover.
Benefits of AFS Systems & Bubble Insulation
The AFS Freeflow (Air Freeflow System) system is a UV Resistant, non-water soluble nylon 3D matrix composite that is designed to our strict specifications….
The layer is designed to provide air flow to promote an exchange of Oxygen vs Anoxic gases…
Like all of our products, the AFS fabric is designed to our strict specifications, to meet our strict requirements. These include:
- Suspend a Snow / Ice load of 100lbs per sq/ft and allow air flow to move freely under such a load.
- Work in conjunction with our GreenJacket vent tubing system.
- Easy to handle and install unaffected by wind offering a Long Useful Life Cycle.
- Integrated strength – yet lightweight and easy to store.
Roll size available : 96” x 169FT (1352 sq/ft per roll)
While the GreenJacket Impermeable cover is providing the turf a barrier to the outside elements such as WATER, ICE, SNOW, DESICCATION, COLD TEMPS, and also reflecting the sunlight to help minimize Temperature Fluctuations, the GreenJacket AFS (Air Flow System) allows air to transfer passively under the coverall throughout the covered surface. The use of a leaf backpack blower along with our Vent Tubing will positively exchange air under the cover as implemented by several GreenJacket clients in both 2007-08 as well as 2008-09 in such places as Edmonton-Canada, York-Maine, Wasilla-Alaska, and Dover-New Hampshire. Also 2010-11 Panarama – Britsch Columbia.
We know that turf, root zone, and soil contain endless amounts of micro-biological components which are living breathing organisms that constantly respire gases and water vapor, especially if the cover is installed before the turf has had time to sufficiently Harden Off naturally. The GreenJacket AFS will minimize the harmful build-up of these gases and water vapor under the cover by allowing them to escape out through the AFS fibers.
