Are double glazed greenhouses feasible ??
Apart from cost and weight, surely doubled glazed greenhouses must be
economically viable. Especially if you heat a greenhouse over winter like me. Any thoughts or recommendations ??? |

I successfully double glazed a 10' x 15' greenhouse with bubble plastic some years back. I don't recall any great problems with that. And it was certainly economical. -- ned |

Use 1cm gap twinwall polycarbonate intended for home conservatories. Better insulation, lighter and much easier to handle and work with than glass. (also excellent for instant storm damage repair if you keep a couple of pieces ready to go) You can gradually replace glass with twinwall polycarbonate provided you make sure that the replacement sheets cannot ever jump out. Start from the top down - heat rises. The 5mm grade will bend horribly under severe storms so not recommened but even that will outlast glass if it is properly anchored in. I wish I had converted more of my greenhouse to polycarb before the winter storm of Xmas '97. Regards, Martin Brown |

I presume you are thinking of sealed units, not viable, but the use of
Polycarb can give double or even triple glazed house, but you need different glazing bars, also is shatter proof so is very good if you have problems with vandals. -- David Hill Abacus Nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

Ours has secondary double glazing in the form of pvc sheets, as well as the usual bubble wrap insulation. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/garden/ |
