| More information on Sunglo Greenhouses |
| *An exhaust fan and shutter is provided with your greenhouse. *The optimum number and size of shutters are provided so that whatever size greenhouse you purchase the air is moved through the greenhouse once a minute. *The bench framework covers the length of the greenhouse you choose to purchase. *The depth of the shelf is 30" and the shelf sits about 30" off the ground. Some type of shelving is necessary if you want to use the bench as a table. *The acrylic panels are guaranteed for 12yrs and depending on your location they can last up to 25yrs before becoming discolored &/or opaque. *The panels are sealed from moisture leak by a roof panel lock, this is a tongue and groove mechanism that prevents water from coming in the roof. *The side panels are "H" shaped and the outer rails have weep holes that allow the water to drain out. It works very well. *For the "Lean-To model greenhouse" the way the unit is sealed against the side of your house or garage is determined by the material of your house. Sometimes it can be fixed directly to the side of the house, other times a 2x4 needs to be placed between the edge of the greenhouse and the house for a solid seal; and sometimes expansion foam is used if there is a very uneven surface. The top of the "Lean-To model greenhouse" is usually situated under the eaves after it is fastened a 100% silicone seal bead is used to further waterproof the interface. * Let us help you with whatever you are looking for in a greenhouse. |

| *Sunglo greenhouse kits feature a Thermostatically Controlled Ventilation System and an Aluminum Bench Framework. *A Sunglo greenhouse is extremely economical to operate. Sunglo greenhouses are constructed with two wall panels. This double-wall construction allows for better temperature control. *The two layers of high impact acrylic plexiglass create a one and a half inch "dead-air" space. This space provides ten times the insulation of a single pane of glass! This makes a Sunglo greenhouse energy efficient no matter where you live. *The R-Factor of the Sunglo Greenhouse is 3.1. *The R-Factor on Triple wall polycarbonate is usually 2.5. *The Sunglo has 1 1/2" of air space between two sheets of acrylic plexiglass. *Triple pane polycarbonate is 6-8 mil in thickness. *Sunglo is 37 mil. *Polycarbonate has a UV coating with a life span of 3-7 years. *Sunglo has a UV inhibitor impregnated in the material. It has a 12year life span. |
