PC board greenhouse
Twin-wall polycarbonate where insulation matters more than light: cold sites, nurseries and houses that must hold heat cheaply.
A 16 mm hollow PC sheet gives insulation close to double glazing at a fraction of the weight, and it takes impact far better than glass. Panels are fixed into aluminium profiles on a steel frame.
It is the practical cover for cold-winter nurseries, propagation and houses where a heating system is expensive to run, and for sites where glass breakage from hail or vandalism is a real cost.
Configurations
Nursery and propagation
High humidity tolerance, good insulation, softer light.
Cold-climate production
Paired with heating and thermal screens.
Structure and covering specification
| Cover | 16 mm twin-wall hollow PC, UV protected |
| Structure | Hot-dip galvanised steel, aluminium glazing profiles |
| Light | Lower transmission than glass; drops further as panels age and dust |
| Insulation | Substantially better than single glass |
| Service life | Long, but transmission falls over ten to fifteen years |
Values are the standard range. Final dimensions, loads and covering are fixed per project against the site's climate data.
Questions buyers ask about this family
PC or glass for a nursery?
PC for insulation, softer light and impact resistance; glass where maximum light and a long clean service life matter. Many nurseries use PC for propagation and glass for growing on.
How often should panels be replaced?
When transmission drops below what the crop needs — typically after ten to fifteen years, sooner in dusty or high-UV sites.
