Lexan Polycarbonate Sheets Located in New Jersey

We get lots of questions about lexan polycarbonate sheets as a greenhouse covering. For the most part we discover that people are trying to over complicate the issue. This article will address just what greenhouse lexan polycarbonate sheets are.

Lexan polycarbonate sheets, simply put, really are a plastic. They're lightweight (1/6th the weight of glass), virtually unbreakable (impact strength 200 times greater than glass), have superb weather resistance (due to the Ultra violet protection on one or two sides of the sheets), have superb insulation (due to the multiple layers with channels in between) and therefore are flexible and simple to install (see specific information on each thickness). You can purchase it in solid sheets, corrugated, or multiwall. The normal configurations employed for greenhouse glazing are corrugated and multiwall. The reason the solid sheets are not recommended is due to the fact that they are not widely available with a UV protection on one side. The actual UV protection will keep the sheets from yellowing or even getting brittle. Some people may mistakenly think this impacts the light transmission of the sheets. It has nothing to do with that. The sheets with UV protection on one side are typically guaranteed for 10 years against yellowing as well as hail damage. This will change from manufacturer to manufacturer. There's also sheets available with Ultra violet protection on both sides. These are generally used for vertical applications such as fencing where both sides of the sheet experience the sun. Although this may be used for a greenhouse, it's typically more expensive and unnecessary.

Corrugated sheets are lexan polycarbonate sheets which are typically really thin, usually 0.8mm. It is available in a wavy or greca style. It will function great for a greenhouse, but will not have as much insulation as a twin wall sheet.

The easiest way to visualize a double wall sheet is to consider looking down the edge of a cardboard box. There is a sheet on the inside, a sheet on the outside with a rib running in between the sheets. The rib inside a cardboard box will be wavy. The rib in lexan polycarbonate sheets runs straight between the 2 sheets. Both sides of the sheet are flat. The lexan polycarbonate sheets are clear, but not "crystal clear" like glass. The actual rib will distort your view somewhat. It is available in 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 16mm thickness. The 16mm is typically a triple wall - meaning there will be a sheet running between the 2 exterior lexan polycarbonate sheets. There are also some 8mm sheets available as a triple wall. Typically, the heavier the sheet, the better the actual insulation factor. One should think about the initial price of the polycarbonate when it comes to the overall cost savings due to energy costs. A 16mm sheet is about 5/8" thick. Lexan polycarbonate sheets are shipped by truck because they cannot be rolled and must be shipped flat.

The majority of greenhouses tend to be glazed with clear polycarbonate. It's available also in bronze and opal. These will cut down on light transmission drastically. Of course, whether you want to consider opal or bronze will depend on the needs of your particular plants. In closing, lexan polycarbonate sheets are a great choice for greenhouse glazing. It is easy to set up and durable.
