Why Polycarbonate is the Best Choice for Greenhouses

Why Polycarbonate is the Best Choice for Greenhouses

When it comes to greenhouse construction, selecting the right material is crucial for ensuring optimal plant growth and long-term durability. Polycarbonate has emerged as the top choice for both hobbyists and commercial growers due to its exceptional properties.

Benefits of Polycarbonate Over Glass

              Superior Insulation: Twin-wall and multi-wall polycarbonate panels trap air between layers, providing excellent thermal insulation that helps maintain stable temperatures inside the greenhouse.

              Impact Resistance: Unlike glass, polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable, making it an ideal choice for areas prone to extreme weather conditions.

              Light Diffusion: Polycarbonate panels provide uniform light distribution, reducing hot spots and ensuring that plants receive even sunlight exposure.

              UV Protection: Many polycarbonate sheets come with a UV-resistant coating, preventing yellowing and degradation over time.

 

Best Panel Types for Greenhouses

              Twin-wall panels – Ideal for balancing light transmission and insulation.

With its combination of durability, energy efficiency, and ease of installation, polycarbonate is the best solution for modern greenhouse structures. We offer various panels with different light transmission levels, ranging from:

              20% (white color)

              25% (bronze)

              50% (light bronze)

              85% (clear)

This variety allows you to grow a wide range of fruits and vegetables under optimal conditions. Not only does this create a healthier and more sustainable food source, but polycarbonate panels also have an impressive lifespan of more than 10 years, making them a long-term investment for greenhouse growers.
