Our proven innovation and design incorporates the very latest advances in state-of-the-art programmer technology and energy efficient lighting systems, culminating in Standard Growth Rooms with a wider performance range, greater control of conditions and with unequalled reliability and durability.

Our combination of high quality components, design, and manufacturing expertise enables us to offer outstanding control performance and reassurance of the integrity of the results of temperature, humidity, light and atmospheric testing. Our policy of continual liaison with leading researchers ensures we maintain our premier position as suppliers of high quality plant growth and associated facilities. Weiss Technik UK provide a range of Fitotron Standard Growth Rooms. Alternatively, we can design custom-fit solutions for bespoke requirements. Fitotron Standard Growth Rooms are available with growth area sizes from 1.4m2 to 24.5m2 and are available with lighting up to 500 mol m-s- plus full humidity control. We are equipped with Computer-aided Design (CAD) and manufacturing technology to provide a high level of design and development facilities. We offer a comprehensive project management service, ensuring smooth and efficient installation. Our wealth of experience enables us to offer services for customers projects including: Turn-key projects On-site project management Cost control management

Installation, commissioning and validation

Integration into local BMS and other facilities Full user, client co-ordination

Training of customers own operating and service personnel

At initial enquiry stage, Weiss Technik UK offer an on-site service to establish exactly what is needed to meet the customer requirement.
