Polycarbonate greenhouse information
Until very recently the only accepted method for building a greenhouse was to use aluminium or
glass. The fairly recent introduction of polycarbonate manufacturing has changed those long held
beliefs. The single most important advantage of polycarbonate is the insulating effect, which
maintains an even temperature in the greenhouse and creates a better growing habitat.
Another is the strength of polycarbonate; glass panes are liable to break easily. Polycarbonate,
on the other hand, is virtually unbreakable. Polycarbonate greenhouses use a lightweight, ribbed
series of panels to provide a diffused, UV protecting light which provides a better environment
for growing your plants. The method of construction means that the sheets of polycarbonate have
insulation properties similar to those of thermo windows which helps to keep an even temperature
in the greenhouse.
Polycarbonate greenhouses are strong. They can resist impact from objects
such as falling branches or balls thrown at them. The polycarbonate sheets tend ot be very and
come supplied in the correct size for your greenhouse frame which makes it quick and easy to
build.
The ribbed effect of the panels helps to break up sunrays which means you need to provide less
shade for you plants. Also, the insulating effect of the material helps you extend the growing
season for your plants and vegetables as heat loss sees a marked reduction.
Polycarbonate plastic is one of the strongest transparent plastics available for the construction
of garden buildings. The material does not easily become brittle even in cold weather and is very
effective at resisting long-wave ultra-violet light. The only downside is that the material can be
susceptible to abrasion and outgasing over time but this is generally seen in older panels and a
simple replacement can solve this.
