Purchasing a Sliding Door for a Greenhouse

When you purchase sliding doors for a greenhouse, you have the option of choosing transparent materials such as glass or polycarbonate to allow natural sunlight to enter the greenhouse.

Aluminum sliding doors are also available for areas that don’t need as much natural light such as a head house, shipping area, or storage area.

Polycarbonate sliding greenhouse doors will typically be lighter weight, less prone to breakage, better insulators, and cheaper than sliding doors made of glass.

Glass doors, on the other hand, last longer (if not broken) than polycarbonate doors and offer high light transmission.

When choosing a sliding door, don’t forget about durability.

If you plan to use it in a retail environment, you want it sturdy and heavy enough for security and customer/worker safety, while tough enough to hold up to harsh weather, cart and customer mishaps, corrosion, and everyday wear and tear.

For strength and security, it’s hard to beat aluminum sliding doors. However, depending on the style you choose, you may lose the two-way visibility you would get with a transparent material.
