Compared to glass, polycarbonate sheet is extremely durable and resistant to harsh circumstances. Glass is readily broken and damaged, posing a risk. When replacing glass in buildings and construction, polycarbonate can save time, money, and reduce injury risk.

Thermoplastic
Polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable, offering it a significant safety benefit over glass. It can replace glass in locations like schools, subways, bus shelters, greenhouses, and hospitals.

Because polycarbonate is unbreakable, it provides superior security against burglary and vandalism. Polycarbonate is 250 times stronger than safety glass, protecting valuables and lowering the danger of damage from broken glass.

Heat-resi
For use in building construction and home objects, polycarbonate is safer than glass. Polycarbonate can withstand prolonged exposure to 270°C or brief exposure to 1166°C without distortion, breaking, or heat absorption. Glass can absorb heat, making it difficult to touch and more prone to breaking.

Longevity
Polycarbonate sheet has a long lifespan due to its durability, impact resistance, and heat resistance. Glass is more prone to breakage and damage, especially when used in thin panels. This can be quite costly in schools, greenhouses, and hospitals with hundreds or thousands of windows that need to be maintained frequently.

etter InsulationPolycarbonate greenhouse
Compared to polycarbonate, glass is a poor insulator. Polycarbonate is used in building construction because it is thermally efficient, lowering utility costs and lowering carbon footprint.

Plastic sheeting outperforms glass in greenhouse building. Growing seasons can be extended due to polycarbonate's superior heat efficiency. Because glass isn't insulated, freezing temperatures will negatively impact plant life, reducing the growing season and increasing heating costs.

Greenhouse Building

Multiwall is the ideal material to use when rebuilding or building a greenhouse. It's critical to use materials that maximize light while decreasing heat loss. Glass is a poor insulator therefore maintaining a greenhouse's temperature can be very costly. Multiwall polycarbonate sheeting has a high thermal value and can reduce heating expenses by up to 30%, saving businesses and people thousands of dollars. Mulwiwall is also one of the best plastics for roofs due to its resistance to heavy snow, severe winds, and hail. Multiwall polycarbonate has a much longer lifespan than glass greenhouses because to its durability and rigidity.

Protecting the sun's ray
Traditional glass does not produce soothing light and allows harsh light in. This is vital in the design of greenhouses and other structures where direct sunlight may be an issue. Polycarbonate can assist reduce plant burns and scorching, increasing plant life and helping them develop more efficiently than glass panels.

Simple Setup
Polycarbonate sheeting is six times lighter than glass, making installation quicker and easier. In building, less material is required to support polycarbonate than glass.

Glass, on the other hand, often requires a specialist saw, especially for thicker glass. Unlike glass, which is normally cut and shaped prior to installation, polycarbonate can be cut on-site. This opens the door for sizing problems and pricey replacements.
