Polycarbonate, or called 'PC' for short, is a type of thermoplastic polymer that takes advantage of added carbonate in its chemical structure. This creates a strong and durable plastic-like material with qualities that fit in perfectly with the design of a greenhouse. To better understand why polycarbonate greenhouses are so popular, the benefits of them below may explain it. 
 

Last Longer 

Ensuring you have a strong material for the windows of your greenhouse is important as strong glazing can bring down the element of risk in everyday use. Standard greenhouse glass is generally a lot thinner. It can become damaged or break easily. Polycarbonate, however, is 100% shatter-resistant, which is particularly ideal even in bad weather conditions.  
 






Better Light Diffusion


Polycarbonate plastic is thicker, especially the twin-wall Polycarbonate greenhouse, and it doesn’t let as much direct light in as glass does, which means the light will be evenly spread throughout the greenhouse, which is much more beneficial for your plants and vegetables.






Increased Thermal Insulation

polycarbonate greenhouse is better at retaining heat, making it a much more thermally efficient solution keeping the structure cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, this can help your plants and veggies grow better and extend their life.






Quicker Installation

When you're building with polycarbonate, many polycarbonate greenhouses come prefab in modular designs, you can do it yourself, usually in one or two days even if you have little or no experience of fitting glass. However, you won't be able to quickly set up a glass greenhouse, possibly needing professional installers who'll cost time and money.






Cheaper Price 

 The cost of polycarbonate was much higher than that of the glass one, but In recent years, the process in which plastic is made has advanced. This means that now when you buy a polycarbonate greenhouse, the price will be much lower. For example, when you are buying the same size, the glass one can cost you $500-3000 more than the polycarbonate one.
