Superior Insulation and Energy Efficiency: Its hollow structure forms an excellent air insulation layer, with an insulation performance (U-value) more than twice that of glass of the same thickness, significantly reducing winter heating energy consumption and improving production efficiency.
High Light Transmittance and Optimized Light: High-quality sheets achieve a light transmittance of over 80%, and a special coating can be added to efficiently convert direct sunlight into softer, diffused light more beneficial to crop growth, reducing scorching and promoting uniform photosynthesis.
Superior Impact Resistance and Safety: Impact resistance is more than 200 times that of ordinary glass, capable of withstanding extreme weather such as hail and snowstorms. The material is tough and not easily broken, ensuring extremely high safety.
Lightweight, Durable, and Structurally Economical: Weighing only 1/12 of glass, it greatly reduces the load requirements on the main structure, lowering steel frame costs and foundation expenses. A UV-resistant coating ensures stable light transmittance over long-term use, with a lifespan of over 10 years.

Polycarbonate Hollow Sheet Specifications
|
Single Span: |
Common spans are 8 meters, 9.6 meters, and 12 meters. Larger spans require higher structural strength. |
|
Eaves Height (Side Height): |
Typical range is 4 to 5 meters. Affects interior space and insulation performance. |
|
Ridge Height (Top Height): |
Typical range is 5 to 6.5 meters. Depends on span and roof slope. |
|
Drainage Slope: |
A slope of at least 20% (approximately 11.3°) is recommended to ensure proper rainwater drainage. |
|
Climate: |
In cold regions, for energy conservation, thicker (e.g., 8-10 mm) or triple-layered plywood is recommended. |
|
Crops: |
For light-loving crops, ensure high light transmittance (>80%). |
|
Budget: |
Increasing thickness and number of layers significantly increases costs. |
Its multi-layered hollow structure contains a layer of still air, providing more than twice the thermal insulation (U-value) of single-pane glass, resulting in significant energy savings. Simultaneously, it is lightweight (approximately 1/12 the weight of glass), extremely impact-resistant (more than 200 times stronger than glass), and converts direct sunlight into more uniform diffused light, beneficial for crop growth.
When selecting a glass system, thickness (commonly 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm) and number of layers (double or triple) are crucial, directly determining insulation performance and cost. A surface UV-resistant coating is essential to ensure a weather-resistant lifespan of over 10 years.
In summary, it is a high-performance option balancing insulation, safety, lifespan, and cost, particularly suitable for greenhouse projects with stringent energy consumption and disaster resistance requirements.






Conventional Vegetable Cultivation: Leafy Vegetables: Lettuce, spinach, rapeseed, bok choy, etc. Short growth cycles and low temperature and light requirements make them ideal for off-season or early spring/late autumn cultivation in film greenhouses. Fruit Vegetables: Tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, zucchini, etc. Spring planting can be done earlier, and autumn planting can be delayed, effectively avoiding the low temperatures of open fields and significantly extending the harvest period. Fruit and Specialty Crops: Strawberries: Film greenhouses are the main form of off-season strawberry cultivation.
Through mulching and greenhouse insulation, fresh fruit can be supplied from winter to spring. Melons, Watermelons: Suitable for early-maturing cultivation. Seedling Raising: Cultivating seedlings for open-field vegetables, flowers, and fruit trees is cost-effective. Some Flowers and Shade-Tolerant Crops: Mid- to low-grade potted flowers, herbaceous flowers, or shade-tolerant foliage plants can be planted. In brief: Film greenhouses are "economical and practical," mainly used to resist low temperatures and extend the growing season. They are suitable for crops that do not have high requirements for environmental precision, have short growth cycles, and moderate economic benefits. They are currently the most widely used type of greenhouse in China.
