1.Light Transmission
Clear glass types like low-iron glass are ideal for maximum sunlight exposure.
2.Thermal Insulation
Double-glazed or Low-E glass is best for energy efficiency in colder climates.
3.Durability
Laminated or tempered glass is essential for safety and long-lasting performance.
4.Cost
Horticultural glass is the most affordable option, but tempered or laminated glass offers better long-term value.
5.Weight
Heavier glass types like double-glazed require sturdier frames.
When selecting glass for a greenhouse, the choice depends on factors like light transmission, insulation, durability, and cost.
Increased safety (shatters safely) Durability (more resistant to impacts and weather extremes) High light transmission (like horticultural glass) Better longevity compared to horticultural glass | Excellent thermal insulation (reduces heating costs) Durability (long-lasting structure) Helps maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels Good light transmission Limitations: More expensive than single-glazed options Heavier, requiring stronger greenhouse frames |
3. Low-E Glass Energy efficiency (better temperature control) Reduces UV damage to plants Maintains optimal growing conditions year-round Limitations: Higher cost Slightly reduced light transmission | Superior light transmission (up to 95%) Minimal greenish tint (clearer than standard glass) Improved plant growth due to better sunlight exposure |
