Roofing That Supports Growth
For greenhouse construction, the roofing material determines how well plants grow. Traditional glass and plastic sheets often fail to balance light transmission, durability, and temperature control. That’s where polycarbonate roofing comes in.
At GB PLAS, we supply polycarbonate roofing solutions trusted by farmers, horticulturists, and greenhouse builders for their unmatched performance in light diffusion, insulation, and strength.
Why Roofing Matters in Greenhouses
Plants require the right balance of sunlight, temperature, and protection. Poor roofing leads to overheating, excessive UV exposure, or structural issues under heavy rain. Polycarbonate roofing solves these challenges by combining strength with controlled light transmission.
Key Benefits of Polycarbonate Roofing for Greenhouses
1. Optimal Light Transmission
Polycarbonate sheets allow up to 85% of natural light through while diffusing it evenly, preventing plant scorching.
2. UV Protection
With UV-coated polycarbonate, harmful rays are filtered out, ensuring healthier plant growth without leaf burn.
3. Thermal Insulation
Twin-wall polycarbonate roofing provides excellent heat retention at night and reduces overheating during the day—ideal for Malaysia’s hot climate.
4. Weather Resistance
Unlike glass, which shatters, or plastic films that degrade, polycarbonate roofing is impact-resistant and long-lasting, even in heavy rain and strong winds.
5. Lightweight and Easy to Install
Polycarbonate roofing is lightweight, reducing greenhouse structural costs while still being strong enough for long-term use.
