FAQ 1: How thick should the glass be for a greenhouse?

The right glass thickness for a greenhouse varies. It depends on where you’re located, the weather, what your greenhouse needs structurally, and your budget. The usual choices are 4mm and 5mm.

For example, 4mm tempered scattering glass is great for greenhouse roofs because it’s strong and lets plenty of light through. For the sides, 5+6+5mm insulated float glass works best, offering top-notch insulation.

FAQ 2: What is the most efficient greenhouse glass?

The best greenhouse glass has high light transmission, scatters light well and insulates effectively. Ultra-clear anti-reflective glass is a top pick because it lets through 97.5% of light, boosting light efficiency. Glass that scatters light evenly is also great. It reduces the stress of direct sunlight on plants and keeps leaf temperatures lower.

FAQ 3: Do greenhouses use normal glass?

Regular glass, like the kind in homes or stores, isn’t ideal for greenhouses. Greenhouse glass needs to let lots of light through, resist impact, last long, and have special scattering or reflective qualities. Even when a greenhouse uses normal float glass-like material, it’s usually treated (like being tempered or coated) to meet the unique light and weather demands of greenhouses.
