Glass Greenhouses

What are the benefits of a glass greenhouse?

For keen gardeners, a greenhouse can be a fantastic addition to your garden. Glass greenhouses offer many benefits:

• Light Transmission – glass greenhouses offer unparalleled levels of light for your plants, giving them everything they need to thrive
• Durability – a glass greenhouse can last in excess of 50 years meaning you don’t need to worry about short-term deterioration and maintenance
• Appearance – glass greenhouses are an attractive garden structure that will give you a great view of the beautiful plants inside

Is glass good for a greenhouse?

Glass greenhouses are best for long term use. While it can be trickier to install due to it being the most heavy-duty option, a glass greenhouse will last you in excess of 50 years. 

Glass Greenhouse Safety

The primary concern those considering a glass greenhouse have is the possibility of shattering the glass. The glass used for greenhouses is tempered to make it as shatter-resistant as possible and to ensure that, in the event of the glass shattering, the pieces break into small squares for maximum safety.

Glass Greenhouse Heating

Depending on the heating budget for your greenhouse, you’ll want to consider either single or double-paned glass. Single paned glass may result in higher heating and cooling costs, whereas double-paned glass greenhouses will offer better climate control and reduce costs.

Glass Greenhouse Maintenance

As long as the glass panels are sealed correctly at installation, you should be able to prevent condensation from forming in double or triple-paned glass greenhouses. Maintenance should only require glass washing when dirt accumulates.
