Glass greenhouses are luxurious, beautiful and permanent. For many people, the glasshouse is the iconic greenhouse, and the transparency of the glass really creates an outdoor feel indoors, surrounded by their own farming paradise. This alone is enough to make many people choose glass over polycarbonate or polyethylene film for their greenhouse covering.
There are many benefits to building a greenhouse with glass.
First of all, glass has high light transmittance. At present, the light transmittance of high-projection diffuse reflection glass can reach 98%, and the light is softer and more uniform after diffuse reflection, which can illuminate a larger area of plants.
Second, compared to other greenhouse materials, glass lasts the longest (30-plus years), unless it breaks. And the light transmittance doesn't decay over time. As mentioned, glass is the traditional glazing material used to build greenhouses and is unmatched for its appearance and longevity.
Finally, compared to other materials, glass is more environmentally friendly and does not cause white pollution.
If your heart is set on glass greenhouse, tempered glass is always recommended because it is stronger, which allows for fewer support bars, and it increases the safety of the people working underneath in case of breakage.
