• More than anything else, plants need sunlight the
  most. Like water and food requirements of a human
  being, plants thrive for the sunlight. If they
  get the right amount of light, they tend to grow
  faster. But always remember, for plants diffused
  light is better than direct sunlight. So how do
  we produce diffused light? Obviously using
  greenhouse coverings.
• They offer innumerable advantages and are able to
  meet your specific requirements concerning local
  climate, budget and the site location. The
  R-value and U-value should be taken into
  consideration for measuring the materials
  capability of the greenhouse panels. R values
  define the materials insulation ability while
  the U value measures the heat loss. A lower
  U-value is preferred for greenhouse covering.

• While talking about varieties, polycarbonate
  coverings for commercial greenhouse offer an
  extra transmission and thermal insulation as
  compared to that of glass. Greenhouse
  polycarbonates covering are light in weight and
  meet both the structural and maintenance
  requirements of the panel system.
• These panels have huge control over the
  integrated drips and condensations and thus help
  in reducing the fungal infection caused by
  viruses, and bacteria. Controlled conditions also
  improve light transmittance and reduce
  reflectivity.
• Polycarbonates coverings are designed in a way
  that looks like an insulated honeycomb structure.
  This structure preserves heat and saves heating
  costs. Twin-walled polycarbonates are best for
  cooler climates and can withstand the snow loads.

Feature highlights Polycarbonates are prone to
condensate formation specifically in enclosed
environments like greenhouses. These are
available in corrugated and flatforms with
single, double walls and are stronger than any
other form of coverings. The R-value range is
between 1.5 to 2and offers features like sunlight
diffusion and efficiently provides insulation.
If you invest in polycarbonates greenhouse
covering, you will be served for a year getting
the bang for the buck. They last for years and
are the best and most expensive materials. The
only disadvantage, it scratches easily and hence
utmost care has to be taken while travelling.
Regular cleaning with a piece of cloth can
preserve its longevity. It is the best option
for outdoor applications. Other options for
greenhouse coverings are

Fibreglass
7
They are extremely strong and durable and possess
the R-value similar to that of greenhouse plastic
glass. They provide good diffusion and light
transmission for the greenhouse coverings.
Leaving them untreated, UV rays can demolish the
fibreglass panels mitigating their efficiencies
in the long run. But if well-maintained it
remains extremely strong and would stay for
years. Even some of the manufacturers offer 10
years of guarantee which includes a warranty
against yellowing and structural failure.

Polyethylene film
9
This is the most cost-effective option most
commonly used for greenhouse coverings. They are
easy to install but are not a continual solution
for greenhouse coverings. They are available in
one or two layers coating. You can cover it with
any one of the multiple coatings which further
provides UV protection, thermal protection and
anti-drip protection from the heat. The R-value
of Polyethylene films ranges from 0.87 to 1.7.
Due to the porous nature of the material, they
allow plants to breathe and grow well.

• The best option for the greenhouse covering will
  facilitate higher yields and savings to the
  horticulture market. The benefits highlights of
  the same are
• Increased yield per hectare
• Low energy consumption
• Needs less maintenance
• Less fungicides need
• Provides a temperature controlled environment
• And optimized light transmission and diffusion
• It provides resistance against heat, cold, wind,
  rain and insects.
• It fits well in the Gothic arch, Quonset arch,
  sawtooth, a frame, wide span, retrofitted
  glasshouses and more.

Owing to the recent renovations and legalization
policies medical cannabis faced several issues
and hence arose the need for greenhouse windows
which will have full control over the day and
night cycles. Choosing the right ones for your
operation will make a huge difference and the
saying you get what you pay for will fall true.
Hope you can make the best of the deals for your
greenhouse covering.
