GFP greenhouse with glass panes
The project
Switching to glass panes for a modern greenhouse
Traditional greenhouses often use double-wall plastic panels (8 mm or 16 mm thick). GFP has set itself the goal of developing an alternative using 4 mm-thick glass panes – for a more durable, visually appealing and stable solution.
However, simply changing the material was not enough. The door design and rainwater drainage system were also redesigned:
- A sliding door replaces the traditional hinged door – it saves space and is easy to use.
- The rainwater drainage system has been optimised to ensure better water flow and reduce pollution.
Process
Customer success stories: individual phases
- Plastic multi-wall sheets as the material used to date
- The hinged door took up unnecessary space
- An inefficient rainwater drainage system that needed improving
Conclusion
Technical details
- Material: 4 mm thick glass instead of double-webbed plastic sheets
- Door system: Sliding door for space-saving use
- Assembly: End-user-friendly design for quick assembly
- Development: Siemens NX & Teamcenter for precise adjustments
