At Advancing Alternatives, Inc. we have been serving Growers, Garden Centers, the Greenhouse Industry and the Dairy Industry since 1997.  Primarily our business is providing natural ventilation and related products for the Greenhouse Industry and Dairies. This web-site and all of our products are designed for Commercial Growers and the Commercial Livestock Industry ONLY!  We do not sell to Private Homeowners and/or Residential Customers.   ALL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. 

Company Profile

We hold several patents on our innovative Roll-Up/Lock-Down Curtain Systems and on our patented structural FlareTube Products.  We partner with a Wire Forming company which allows us to provide top quality wire products such as S-Hooks (Extension Hangers) Zig-Zag Wire and Sod Staples at reasonable and competitive prices.

Our Roll-Up/Lock-Down Curtain Systems can fit any "Straight" or "Curved" wall--Gutter Connect or Free Standing Structures.  Because we sell in 4' increments we can fit your needs and budget with our extensive line of operators for Roll-Up Curtains, both manual and electric.  Many of our customers retrofit their existing curtain systems with our manual operators to insure better and safer opening for their employees.  Our electric operators provide a fully automated Curtain System that can't be beat.

Our Roll-Bar Cap makes upgrading your old system to a Roll-Up/Lock-Down system a snap.  It clasps single or multi layers of curtain materials against any standard 1.315" OD pipe and allows tension to be applied in either rolling direction.  Since our Roll-Bar Cap fits most existing swaged pipe you can throw away those troublesome plastic clips forever and install our Posi-Clasp Aluminum Roll-Bar Cap with self drilling Tek screws!

NEW THIS YEAR is our expanded line of Low Voltage Motors and Controllers (24 Volt) to now provide you with a viable alternative to the Gear Box and Tube Motors.  Our Low Voltage motors come in 60, 80, 88 and 148 NM for great curtain rolling power.  Controllers output 24 volts OR the can be powered from a 24 volt battery source.  We also offer Transformer Relay Boxes to allow you to convert to our Low Voltage Motors while continuing to use your Vent Controller.  All are designed for greenhouses that only have low voltage sources available.

Our Mission

Our name belies what we strive to do--"ADVANCE" the development of our products and provide new "ALTERNATIVES" to old problems, all-the-while, improving on many of the products we provide.
