Greenhouses can improve the utilization rate of agricultural resources, as well as the yield and quality of agricultural products. They are a way to ensure a substantial increase in the output of the vegetable and fruit industry, and an important way to solve the problems of modern agricultural development, resources, and the environment. Greenhouses are currently common agricultural facilities, and they play a very important role in off-season planting and production, especially in low-temperature areas. Due to the low temperature, it is difficult to grow and develop crops in the open air, and even they cannot be planted for a long time. Greenhouses play a vital role in meeting the supply of vegetables. They have high output, high efficiency, and sustainable development benefits for vegetables and fruits. Therefore, they are favored by the world. In recent years, the greenhouse industry has developed rapidly.

What material is good for greenhouse roofs?

A long time ago, the covering materials of greenhouses were mostly plastic films. This material has very poor weather resistance and will rot if it is slightly windy or rainy. It is not resistant to sunlight or wind and rain. With the progress of society and the development of science and technology, greenhouses no longer use plastic films, but have been replaced by various lighting tiles. Among them, FRP lighting tiles and PVC lighting tiles are the two most commonly used tiles for greenhouse construction. So, which of these two lighting tiles is more suitable for greenhouses?

Advantages and disadvantages of FRP lighting tiles

FRP lighting tiles are fiber-reinforced composite materials with a light transmittance of up to 80%. They are light, easy and quick to install, strong in wind and rain resistance, impact resistance and explosion resistance, and are very suitable for greenhouses. However, the disadvantage of FRP lighting tiles is that they will turn yellow over time, which will affect light transmittance and aesthetics, and the fire resistance is not ideal.

Advantages and disadvantages of Transparent UPVC Roofing Sheet

Transparent UPVC Roofing Sheet are made of PVC resin, which has high toughness, strong anti-corrosion and anti-aging ability, can effectively resist the damage of ultraviolet rays, will not age or change color, has a 10-year warranty, can be used for 15-20 years, can withstand natural disasters such as typhoons, hail, rainstorms, heavy snow, etc., and has strong fire resistance. Its disadvantage is that the light transmittance is slightly poor, only about 70%.

The above is an introduction to two commonly used greenhouse covering materials. You can choose the material suitable for greenhouse use according to your needs. If you want good light transmittance, you can choose FRP skylight tiles; if you want high safety and durability, it is recommended to choose Transparent UPVC Roofing Sheet.
