Glazing that transmits plenty of light ensures that the plants grow quicker. Good heat insulation enables savings on heating costs and goes easy on the environment. And a high proportion of UV light makes for more intensely colored blossoms. Those are factors that nowadays decide on the competitiveness of every horticultural operation.

Major requirements for greenhouse glazing

• High Light Transmission
  Light is an essential production factor in horticulture. One percent more light means one percent more growth, according to an often-heard gardener‘s rule. This means that glazing should transmit at least 85 to 90 percent of the light – the more, the better – to the interior of the greenhouse.
• Good Transparency, Especially in Bad Weather
  Particularly in dull weather, it is most important to get as much light as possible into the greenhouse. That is why glazing must have perfectly smooth surfaces to which dirt cannot adhere, and where condensation flows off as a film.
• Weather Resistance for Many Years to Come
  What use is high initial light trans-mission if the glazing becomes dull in the course of time? Greenhouse glazing must retain its high trans-parency for many years, even decades. Only products that meet these requirements are suitable for this purpose.
• The Entire Range of Sunlight
  Natural light contains the entire spectrum, including UV radiation in the wavelength from 300 to 380 nm. This promotes vigorous, compact plant growth and gives flowers their glowing colors.
• Optimum Heat Insulation
  Heating costs money and is harmful to the environment. A reduced need for heating is therefore doubly beneficial. The prerequisite, though, is suitable glazing: double glazing with U-values below 3 W/m²K should be the norm. 
• Low weight
  Lightweight, inherently rigid and break-resistant glazing materials enables effective yet airy constructions.
