Polycarbonate Greenhouses

Polycarbonate is a strong, transparent plastic produced in single-wall or double-wall sheets. Due to its high strength, lightweight, and thermal insulation properties, it has become one of the most popular options for semi-industrial and industrial greenhouses.
The polycarbonate covering functions similarly to glass in terms of light transmission and the greenhouse effect, but offers additional advantages in thermal insulation and physical durability.

• Polycarbonate sheets allow up to 85% of natural light to pass through and diffuse it evenly, preventing leaf burn.
• Double-wall polycarbonate sheets have a hollow space between layers that acts as insulation, significantly reducing heat loss.
• This material is up to 20 times more impact-resistant than glass and performs excellently against hail, strong winds, and physical stress.
• Polycarbonate is coated with UV protection, preventing plastic degradation and plant damage.

Best Structure for Polycarbonate Greenhouses:

For optimal performance of polycarbonate greenhouses, the structure should have the following features:

• Galvanized steel or aluminum frame: Offers high durability and corrosion resistance, ideal for supporting polycarbonate panels.
• Wind and snow-resistant frame: The design should match local climatic conditions, e.g., roof angle suitable for snow or rain.
• Leak-proof connections: Polycarbonate sheets must be properly installed in designated grooves to prevent water and dust infiltration.
• Adequate ventilation: Use of roof or side windows or fan systems to control temperature and humidity.
• Lightweight frames with curved or sloped design: Ensures even light distribution while maintaining aesthetic appearance.
