Horticulture Frost 4mm: a new type of glass facade for greenhouses (07/05/2005)

In greenhouses knows everyone hammered glass wall thickness of 4mm. For years, the hammered glass is only applicable for the horticultural glass type with a diffuse effect.

From now presents Looveren NV Horti Frost, an alternative kind of glass which is perfect as a wall of glass greenhouse. Horticulture Frost horticulture will be conducted in a glass thickness of 4mm.

Horti Frost is like hammered and laminated glass, a molded glass type. In the production process of cast glass, the molten glass from the furnace and cast even bulldozed by high temperature between two rollers. Through these roles will be a drawing or a pattern in the glass pressing. For horticulture were once made in this way it rolled glass (Gerrisol) and still the hammered glass.

A major disadvantage of cast glass, the poorer flexural tensile strength. This glass is not suitable as a cover slip. Previously they used hammered glass and rolled glass cover slip as well but even in small sizes and high numbers of low-break was after storm and / or hailstorms always much damage.

Only the glass was hammered his way into the greenhouse and glass facade for the sake of aesthetic appearance and diffuse the impact that viewing from the outside in the greenhouse to them. In essence Horti Frost does just the same. Only the aesthetic view is different.

The greenhouse growers will now have the luxury of choice.
