Horticulture Glass Atlantic
Atlantic patterned glass is designed to maximize sunlight transmittance without AR coating as well as light scattering allowing to cover crops evenly.
Geometrical tolerances
If not requested in a different way by the client, are used following tolerances:
- Glass thickness: +/- 0.2 mm
- Length and width: +/- 1,5 mm
- Angularity (difference between length of both diagonals): 2 mm
Thermal toughened glass (ESG according EN 12150)
The mentioned glass of this specification can, if requested by the client, be thermal toughened. The glass then has following mechanical and physical properties.
Flatness:
- General bow Patterned glass: 4mm/m
- Local bow: 0.5mm/300mm
Bending strength:
- Patterned glass > 90 N/mm2

Benefits
Higher Light Transmittance
With low-iron base and AR coating technology, our glass has one of the highest light transmission standards in the world.
Scattering of Light
A special glass pattern together with AR coating allows the light to cover the greenhouse evenly to increase the yield as well it reduces the high temperature on top of crops during hot seasons in case of burning, wilting.
Long Shelf Life
With leading Etching AR technology, our glass creates the AR layer on the glass body itself, which lead to the long shelf life of the glass.
High Safety Standards
With the highest tempering standards, the glass is much and even broken the fragments are small enough to avoid harm to humans and crops.
