When building a glass greenhouse, choosing the right frame and glass is crucial.

1. Greenhouse Frame

It is best for greenhouses to use top-grade aluminum profiles designed specifically for greenhouses. The main structure is made of 6061 high-strength aluminum alloy. After surface protection treatment, it meets national standards. This makes the greenhouse's aluminum frame strong and durable, and is very suitable for greenhouse construction.

2. Greenhouse Side Wall Glass

The side walls of greenhouses are usually made of standard insulating float glass.. Since a lot of heat escapes through the greenhouse walls and leaks in winter (70-80% of total heat loss), enhancing the insulation and sealing of the structure is key. This approach effectively reduces heat loss and is cost-efficient.

3. Greenhouse Roof Glass

For the roof, We can choose 3.2, 4 and 5mm tempered diffuse reflective glass with a light transmittance of more than 92.5%. This glass, combined with special aluminum profiles and durable rubber seals, offers excellent sealing and looks great. Tempered glass boasts amazing strength and break resistance.

Greenhouses, usually 5-7 meters tall, are often used for vertical farming of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and medicinal plants. Safety is a top priority for such tall structures, especially the roof glass. Tempered glass is essential to prevent accidents during severe weather.

Another important factor is light scattering. Controlling temperature is vital for year-round farming and impacts operational costs. The tempered diffuse glass, with up to 99% light transmittance, ensures enough light without the risk of underexposure. It softens sunlight, preventing leaf burn in plants, and can reduce indoor temperatures by about 5 degrees Celsius in summer.

Yuhua has 8 kinds of tempered diffuse glass with different haze values to suit different light and temperature conditions.
