Glazing Options

Florian gives you a wide range of choices. But no matter which you choose, you can count on it to exceed the specs of our competitors.

Basic: Single pane, fully tempered safety glass. Basic, for an example, is used for low-budget horticulture greenhouses. Compared to twinwall glazing, it is more anesthetically pleasing and will not turn yellow from the sun. Also, compared to the competitor's dangerous "double Strength Annealed" glass (that will cut you), or tempered glass is over five times stronger!

Insulated Glazing Performance Types:

All insulated glass units shown below are hermetically sealed against condensation and dirt infiltrated. Other greenhouse manufacturers' use what they call an "insulated glass" which uses two panes of glass and a dead air space. This type of glass is NOT hermetically sealed and is subject to infiltration of impurities.

Better: (Florian's "Heat Repellent Series") MC Low-E clear tempered over clear tempered safety glass, dual sealed.(Recommended to be used in the WALLS for high comfort and low) Solar Heat Gain Coefficient: no higher than .37 Outdoor Visible Reflectance: no higher than 12% Visible Light Transmittance: no higher than 69%

Best: (Florian's "Heat Repellent Series") Super MC-E clear tempered over clear tempered safety glass, dual sealed. (Recommended to be used in the ROOF areas.) Solar Heat Gain Coefficient: no higher Outdoor Visible Reflectance: no higher than 32% Visible Light Transmittance: no higher than 47%

Highly Recommended: This choice provides optimum balance among visible light transmittance and glare control, along with superior solar control. This new glazing technology is produced by the world's largest glass manufacturer and has a Light-To-Solar Gain Ratio of an UNBEATABLE 2/04, placing it a the top of its glass!

Warning: Using the competitor's higher reflectance glazing may cause damage to siding, fencers, ect.

Triple Pane: (Florian's "Heat Repellent Series") MC Low-E clear tempered / MC Low-E clear tempered / clear tempered safety, dual sealed. Solar Heat Gain Coefficient: no higher than.33 Outdoor Visible Reflectance: no higher than 15% Visible Light transmittance: no higher than 56%

The highest insulated glass we offer: Winter value of R-10. Designed for cold climate applications.
