Hobby greenhouses or commercial greenhouses – both need to
be built as a structure that lets in maximum sunlight to help the plants within
get the nutrition they require, while also keeping them protected from the harsh
environmental conditions around. Traditionally, from the earliest of times,
glass has been the most popular material used to build greenhouses. However, as
time have changed and evolved, so has the popularity of greenhouse material.
Today, many greenhouses are being built with polycarbonate roofing sheets. So, what is it that makes
polycarbonate so popular today? Or, let us ask whether it is glass or
polycarbonate that you must use for your next greenhouse project to reap the
best benefits. To bring an answer to this question, you first need to
understand the characteristics of both glass and polycarbonate individually, so
that you can make an informed decision as to which material is better to solve
the purpose.
