Plants Love It
Horticultural glass for greenhouses
This feature is essential for the growth of plants. The more light that enters the greenhouse, the better it is for the plants and the higher the yields from greenhouse crops.
Unlike polycarbonate or other plastics, Greenhouse Glass retains its clarity throughout its lifespan if we keep it clean. It also conducts heat and lets ultraviolet rays pass through, which helps to heat the greenhouse during the summer months.
Long-term Investment
Did you know that Glass greenhouses are durable and can last up to 50 years or more? It is a perfect long-term investment! Although greenhouse glass is the lowest grade of glass, it remains the most affordable option for greenhouse glazing.
However, it’s important to note its proneness to breakage than toughened glass, and when it breaks, it shatters into sharp pieces.
Toughened Greenhouse Glass is also available!
4mm glass can be toughened. This type of safety glass is four to five times stronger than regular glass and is designed to break into small, blunt pieces when shattered.
Overall, people prefer greenhouse glass for its durability, light transmission, and heat retention properties, making it an ideal option for greenhouse construction.
