Polycarbonate Greenhouses

2 April 2008

For a long time now, most people who have owned greenhouses are ones which have been made using aluminium and glass. However, today more and more greenhouses are having the glass replaced and instead polycarbonate is being used. There are a number of advantages to be gained from owning polycarbonate greenhouses over the more traditional glass versions and below we take a look at what some of these are:

1. With a polycarbonate greenhouse you will find that they are far better insulated and because of this, the temperature inside them remains at a much more even level. This in turn results in a much better atmosphere in which your plants will be able to grow.

2. Where with more traditional greenhouses that use glass and which can easily break those greenhouses using polycarbonate are very strong and the chances of the sheets breaking is minimal. The polycarbonate material is of such a strength that it can actually resist being damaged by either a branch falling on to it or a ball being thrown at it.

3. The sheets used in greenhouses today which are made from polycarbonate rather than glass are very light and can be supplied in the exact lengths that one needs. So when it comes to replacing the glass in your current greenhouse you will find it is a job that you can do yourself quickly and easily.

4. The sheets that are made from this material all have ribbed channels along them and this will further helps to diffuse and break up the suns rays as they try to enter the greenhouse. So the need for including additional shading in order to protect the plants inside is greatly reduced.

5. As well as the ribbed channels in the sheets they also have U-channels and these help to protect the sheets from damage caused by insects and dirt. Plus these channels also help to ensure that any condensation, which appears on the sheets, can drain away quickly and easily also.

6. As previously mentioned these types of greenhouses have an insulating effect in them, which actually means that if you want you can extend the growing season. Plus should you choose to heat your greenhouse during the winter months you will find that the loss of heat from your greenhouse is reduced as well.

As you can see from above there are many reasons why polycarbonate greenhouses are becoming increasingly popular over those that are made using glass. Certainly if you live in a place where the climate is cool then having a well-insulated greenhouse is important if you want to grow the best plants possible.
