Clear, diffuse and anti-reflective coated glass for commercial greenhouse roofs and sidewalls.
Greenhouse glazing should be selected around the growing strategy and the greenhouse structure. Optical requirements, panel dimensions, support details and installation sequencing all influence the purchasing specification.
For greenhouse builders managing large panel quantities, clear documentation also helps coordinate production, packing and delivery across construction phases.
MIGO GLASS offers horticultural glass options for greenhouse roofs and sidewalls, including clear and low-iron float glass, diffuse glass and anti-reflective coatings.
A December 2025 production update documented the start of a 300,000-square-metre order of 4mm ultra-clear Nashiji patterned glass for greenhouse roofs.
Production began following a scheduled roller change from the preceding solar glass batch. The record demonstrates the preparation involved in manufacturing a specified pattern and thickness for a large greenhouse glass order.
The update records the start of production; it does not identify a Dutch customer or establish final project completion.
MIGO GLASS has also published information about testing of selected 4mm, double-sided AR-coated diffuse glass samples at WUR LightLab in the Netherlands.
For a greenhouse buyer, the relevant next step is to review the report corresponding to the proposed glass product. The sample reference, coating and measurement conditions should match the configuration being evaluated.
Laboratory evidence supports product selection, while the order specification defines what is to be supplied.
MIGO GLASS's horticultural range includes 4mm glass, custom panel sizes, clear and low-iron substrates, and diffuse patterns such as matt-matt, prismatic-matt and Nashiji-matt.
Processing options include tempering, edge finishing and single-sided or double-sided anti-reflective coatings.
Clear Greenhouse Glass
Clear glass can be considered where the greenhouse design calls for a transparent glazing surface.
Buyers should identify the required substrate and optical specification, then coordinate panel sizes and edge details with the glazing system.
Diffuse Greenhouse Glass
Diffuse glass provides a different distribution of transmitted light from clear glass.
Selection should follow the growing strategy and the greenhouse designer's optical requirements. Specify the exact product reference and required scattering measurements rather than using "diffuse glass" as the complete purchasing description.
AR-Coated Greenhouse Glass
Anti-reflective coatings are available on one or both surfaces.
The order should identify the coating configuration and any orientation requirements. Handling and cleaning instructions should be included in the technical review, particularly where installation teams will work with large quantities of coated panels.
A useful comparison needs more than one transmission number.
Ask suppliers to identify the glass thickness, substrate, surface pattern, coating and test method associated with each result. Confirm which measurements the greenhouse designer requires.
Where reports use different optical terms or measurement conditions, resolve those differences before comparing products. A sample result should remain linked to its tested configuration rather than be applied to an entire glass range.
For a large project, agree how sample approval and production acceptance will relate to each other.
Roof and sidewall glass may serve different parts of the greenhouse design. List them separately where their optical or processing requirements differ.
A glazing schedule should connect each panel type to its location, dimensions, quantities and required finish.

The 4mm product range is a supply reference. Final glass selection should follow the greenhouse design and project requirements.
Manufacturing dimensions should be based on the approved glazing drawings.
Specify the required edge treatment and acceptance criteria. For repeat panels, consistent documentation makes receiving inspections and replacement orders easier to manage.
Where orientation matters, define how the panel surfaces should be identified.
Agree on practical marking or packing information before production so installers can recognise the intended arrangement without guessing from appearance.
For phased construction, discuss whether panels should be grouped by size, greenhouse section or delivery stage.
Provide the site receiving arrangements and any relevant unloading constraints. Packing requirements should support the installation plan as well as transport protection.
For greenhouse contractors, the most useful enquiry combines the glazing schedule with the optical requirements.
For procurement teams comparing suppliers, request quotations against the same defined glass configuration. Keep differences in substrate, pattern, coating and processing visible so that prices can be assessed meaningfully.
For repeat projects, retain the approved product and drawing references. Review changes in climate strategy, greenhouse structure or crop requirements before reusing a previous specification.
