Tuuletõkkevõrke

Tuuletõkkevõrke, often translated as windbreak netting or wind barrier mesh, is a material used in construction and agriculture to mitigate the effects of wind. In building construction, it is typically installed on the exterior of a building, beneath the final cladding layer. Its primary function is to prevent wind from entering the building's insulation layers, which can significantly reduce the insulation's effectiveness and lead to increased heat loss. By blocking direct wind infiltration, tuuletõkkevõrke helps maintain a stable indoor temperature and improves energy efficiency. It also acts as a secondary water barrier, protecting the building structure from wind-driven rain. The material is usually made from durable, weather-resistant synthetic fibers, often woven or non-woven, designed to allow water vapor to escape while restricting air movement.

In agricultural applications, tuuletõkkevõrke serves a similar purpose of wind reduction. It is often used to protect crops, livestock, and young trees from strong winds. By creating a sheltered environment, it can prevent physical damage to plants, reduce soil erosion caused by wind, and minimize stress on animals. In horticulture, it can be erected around greenhouses or open fields to create microclimates that are more conducive to plant growth. The density and mesh size of the tuuletõkkevõrke can be chosen based on the specific needs of the application, with finer meshes offering greater protection against smaller debris and insects. Its installation can significantly improve yield and quality in farming and gardening.
