Greenhouse
Building greenhouses is a popular remodeling trend which provides enthusiastic gardeners with year round gardening opportunities. In addition to serving a practical objective, greenhouses also fulfill a decorative purpose by doubling as striking architectural outdoor features.
Functional greenhouses require high maintenance and involve high operational costs of water supply, electricity, automatic vents and exhaust fans. Greenhouse remodeling contractors build structures big enough to accommodate your plants without exceeding budget limitations. Tall greenhouses provide adequate headroom in peaked central zones and therefore reduce construction costs with a simple design that also enables easy heating and ventilation of the whole space.
Location and siding materials such as glass, fiberglass, polycarbonate or polyethylene film influence the energy efficiency performance of greenhouses. Contractors build greenhouses on the south or southeast sides of homes to expose the structure to maximum sunlight. Although glass greenhouses are exquisite to the eye, without proper glazing reinforcement glass will be fragile and will leak out heat. Plastic siding materials are lighter and flexible than glass and are much better suited to greenhouses. Non transparent fiberglass introduces light in much like glass, yet different to the latter fiberglass also retains in heat. Almost fully transparent, polycarbonate is the strongest siding material and wears three times longer than fiberglass. With a life span that varies between two to four years, polyethylene film is an inexpensive renovation alternative for gardeners who use greenhouses for seeding.
