Advantages of glass cover greenhouse over polycarbonate cover greenhouse

Glass greenhouses transmit almost 100% light and glass stays that way for a lifetime or more , compared to  80% with double wall polycarbonate that will gradually fade over time as the polycarbonate becomes more opaque. Due to the weight of the glass covering the glass greenhouse structure is generally stronger than other greenhouses, so it is an excellent greenhouse investment and adds lasting value.

Glass has long been the traditional covering. Its favourable properties include:

high transmission in the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) bandwidth

good heat retention at night

low transmission of UV light

durability

low maintenance costs

       For most widely used greenhouse glass, it can also be divided into many types:normal float (ultra clear) horticultural glass, tempered diffuse glass and diffuse glass with AR(anti-reflective) coating.

For Yuhua diffuse glass and diffuse glass with AR coating, it is more popular than other greenhouse glass within domestic glass factories.Our glass not only has higher light transmission, but also can diffuse the sunlight to decrease the shadow in the greenhouse and reduce the temperature of the leaf surface.

The greenhouse with diffuse glass can increase the yield by more than 20% (tomato, cucumber, lettuce, strawberry) than the ultra clear float glass greenhouse; and the content of vitamin C, vitamin E and soluble sugar in fruits is greatly increased.
