Light Transmission
+Light is just as important as the right temperature for optimum plant growth. ACRYLITE® DEGLAS ALLTOP acrylic double-skinned sheets transmit 91 percent of incident light, which means there is hardly any difference between growing a plant outdoors or inside a greenhouse. The sheets also let in the UV light that promotes good plant quality and is especially important for seedling propogation. Even in bad weather, ACRYLITE® DEGLAS high impact acrylic sheet’s light yield is well above average.
Incident sunlight is often reflected by condensation as it passes through glazing reducing the amount of light transmitted. Dripping condensation has the added disadvantage of dropping on to delicate blossoms, leaving unsightly spots. Greenhouses glazed with ACRYLITE® DEGLAS high impact acrylic double-skinned sheet and ACRYLITE® DEGLAS ALLTOP acrylic double- skinned sheet in particular, are protected against this phenomenon. The special no drip surface coating on the sheet makes water flow off as a continuous film, with virtually no water droplet formation.
