Greenhouse Glazing Options
Greenhouses originated in Great-Britain, especially in England. Due to the cold weather, people have been using greenhouses for many decades to be able to grow vegetables all year long.
Advantages
Transmittance
Single-layer glazings generally transmit 90 percent and double-layer glazings about 80 percent of light. Other factors play an important role in the transmittance of light too, for example, the location of the greenhouse and the orientation to the sun.

Aesthetics
The main reason to choose glass is that it's more beautiful than any kind of polycarbonate greenhouse. A majestic greenhouse in the middle of your garden will be the eye-catcher at any barbecue or pool party.
Durability – maintenance
Glass is in general a more durable material than plastic and it will last longer without any signs of aging. The higher cost of glass results in a longer lifetime of your greenhouse.
Strength
The glass used in greenhouses is safety glass and is almost as strong as polyester for greenhouses.
Basically using toughened glass as greenhouse glass. Toughened glass is the strongest and has a thickness of 3 or 4 mm (about 0,11 inches). This type of glass will granulate if broken instead of break into sharp pieces, therefore being the safer and stronger option.
