Advantages of Tempered Glass

• Full transparency is a better "look" for some applications, especially if using the structure for non plant-growing purposes
• Maximum amount of natural light when using structure for growing plants
• No fading or discoloration over lifespan
• Flame resistant
• Glass is a chemical free, environmentally friendly material

Advantages of Polycarbonate

• Almost impossible to break, polycarbonate will flex and resist against things like objects hitting the panels or heavy wind and snow loads
• Blocks harmful UV rays and creates a diffused light environment that promotes consistent light conditions throughout the interior of the structure
• Has been shown to retain heat more efficiently than glass, an advantage in cold weather growing environments
• Low maintenance, will demand less cleaning than glass while still looking great.
