Five Wall Polycarbonate Greenhouse - The light transmission of five wall polycarbonate is slightly lower at 62%. The benefit is an improved R value of 3.03 which is a 21% improvement over our previous 16mm thick triple wall polycarbonate. This means that a greenhouse glazed with our five wall polycarbonate will cost 21% less to heat than the previous triple wall polycarbonate glazing. In addition, the five wall polycarbonate is about 50% more efficient than insulated double glass, 10mm triple wall polycarbonate and 8mm 4 wall polycarbonate. It is approximately 80% more efficient than 6mm or 8mm twin wall polycarbonate. Arguably, this is the most energy efficient glazing material available in today's greenhouse market.
R value = 3.03
