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?


If children are going to be allowed in it then it pays to have safety
glass.

Building regs specific safety glass for any glass below about 1.3m (I
think it's about that)

If it's attached to a house (conservatory) then it needs to meet
building regs anyway and for insulation purposes you'd probably need
DG.
