Is diffuse scattering glass more expensive than ordinary glass?

Is diffuse scattering glass in greenhouses more expensive than ordinary glass? This question has been asked by customers a long time ago, and the result has not been asked. Now let’s focus on the difference between diffuse glass and ordinary glass in greenhouses.

greenhouse glass

First of all, let’s talk about diffuse scattering glass. Diffuse scattering glass is currently the main covering material for greenhouses. The main specifications are mainly 4 mm and 5 mm. The original sheet uses ultra-white rolled glass with a light transmittance of more than 90%, and the finished sheet It is an ultra-white tempered diffuser glass with 91.5% light transmission. The embossing type is mainly fragrant pear, followed by cloth pattern and double velvet. The main performance of diffuse scattering glass is scattering, light selection and high light transmittance. It is necessary to ensure the uniformity of the light inside the greenhouse, but also to ensure that the light passing through the glass is screened, increasing the transmittance of blue and violet light, and weakening the infrared. Light. This can increase production and efficiency.

Finally, diffuse scattering glass is currently only used on glass greenhouses, with narrow uses and sophisticated technical specifications. In addition to the above-mentioned data parameters such as scattering, light selection, light transmission, haze, energy value, etc., the process is relatively complicated. Because ordinary glass has a wide range of uses, ordinary glass in greenhouses is currently only used on the side walls in standard greenhouses. The main specification is double-layer hollow glass, some are 5+6+5, some are 6+5+6, and some are used. A layer of 5mm diffuse scattering glass and a layer of ordinary float glass are designed for the side walls to also have scattering properties.

Ordinary float glass

Ordinary float glass

The light transmittance of ordinary glass in the greenhouse is generally about 88%, and it does not need to be tempered, and the board surface is relatively large. Diffuse scattering glass is much more expensive than ordinary float glass, you can look at today's quotation. Today, the price of 4mm ordinary float original film is about 5 dollars, 5mm ordinary float original film is about 6 dollars, and 6mm ordinary float original film is about 7 dollars. Today, the price of 4mm ultra-white tempered diffuse-scattering glass is around US$7.5, and the price of 5mm ultra-white tempered diffuse-scattering glass is around US$8.5.


Diffuse glass and ordinary float glass are not comparable. The first is the difference in technology, the second is the difference in processing, the third is the difference in the efficiency of greenhouse planting, and the fourth is the difference in service life. There is no need to make a comprehensive comparison of two different glass specifications for greenhouse glass procurement. The top glass standard can be purchased according to the diffuse scattering glass standard, and the side wall glass standard can be purchased according to ordinary float glass.
