A friend is about to built a hybrid of all three elements of a
Greenhouse/Glasshouse/Conservatory.
I can not quite understand the subtle differences between the three.
His architect is asking for glazing specifications.
Is Horticultural glass still used for anything or has H&S banned it?
Polycarbonate is out for fire reasons.
Would safety glass allow all the benefits of Horticultural glass without
the inherent problems?

What is its purpose?

If it's like mine it's to be used as a veranda )

My conservatory is a good propagator. I stuck a few tomato seeds in
2" pots, stuck 'em inside a deep dish, bit of clingfilm over the top
and they were up and away after 4 days on a window sill. Lettuce
showed up in three days. (Built on conservatory, three large
double patio doors into the house space which are never closed. All
the heat comes out from the main house, apart from three leccy
radiators which are only used once in a blue moon)
