Glazing Systems
We offer four different glazing systems: single pane glass, double tempered insulated glass, twinwall polycarbonate, and fivewall polycarbonate. Our glazing options allow you to attain the best balance between insulating value, aesthetics, and economy to suit your needs.
Single layer Glass:
Our single glass is tempered safety glass to minimize any possibility of breakage or injury. The traditional look appeals to greenhouse gardens with full light transmission capable of controlling their growing variable. Single pane glass is adequate for keeping a `cool greenhouse` in mild climates.
R value = 0.9.
Approximately 95% light transmission
Double Layer Insulated Glass:
Our double glazed glass is tempered safety glass to minimize any possibility of breakage or injury. Insulated double glass is the best of both worlds, providing you with the aesthetically pleasing look of glass and the insulation you may require for your specialty plants.
Typical clear double glass R Value = 2.04
Approximately 90% light transmission
Low E glass
Double glaze glass can also be upgraded to a high-performance Low E glass to help keep the greenhouse even cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter while still maintaining the light necessary for plant growth. Other high performance options are available, please contact us for more information.
Optional high performance Low E glass R Value = 3.3
Approximately 70% light transmission
Twinwall Polycarbonate:
Our 6mm twinwall polycarbonate is the most economical glazing materials. It is a practical for a `growing greenhouse` as it offers 50% more insulation than single pane glass and diffuses harmful sunlight in the summer. It is essentially unbreakable, making it very safe in a family environment. The insulation will prevent the temperature in the greenhouse from changing drastically and results in the best possible growing environment.
R value = 1.59.
Approximately 82% light transmission.
Fivewall Polycarbonate:
Our new 16mm fivewall polycarbonate offers unbeatable insulation which is 50% more insulating than double pane glass, or 80% more efficient than 6mm or 8mm twinwall polycarbonate. Fivewall is ideal for colder climates, gardeners who grow specialty plants, or for those who prefer the most energy efficient greenhouse to reduce heating costs.
R value = 3.03.
Approximately 62% light transmission
