Glass Greenhouses
A glass greenhouse provides high light transmission for commercial vegetable, flower and research production in a permanent framed house. Growers choose glass when they want a durable, cleanable covering and long service life. ClimaSpan supplies the climate equipment—exhaust fans, evaporative cooling pads and circulation fans—not the glass structure itself. Structure type, openings and house dimensions are confirmed on the quotation after you email [email protected] with project details.
Structure features
- Rigid glass cladding on a steel or aluminium frame (single-span or multi-span layouts).
- Stable light transmission compared with flexible film covers when glass is kept clean.
- Openings and end walls can be designed for wall-mounted exhaust fans and pad walls.
- Suited to long-life commercial and research projects rather than temporary covers.
Suitable climate
- Works in cool, temperate and hot regions when ventilation, cooling and heating are planned with the local climate.
- In hot, dry summers, pad-and-fan layouts are commonly considered for large glass houses.
- In humid regions, ventilation and circulation still matter; evaporative cooling effectiveness depends on outdoor humidity.
- Share your location and peak-season goals so equipment can be sized to the house, not guessed from a generic list.
Covering materials
- Horticultural glass (float or tempered as specified by the structure supplier).
- Roof and wall glazing panels with seals and gutters as designed for the frame.
- Shading or screen systems may be added separately; they are not listed as ClimaSpan products on this page.
- Exact glass type and thickness are set by the structure design — not published as ClimaSpan catalogue specs here.
Selection notes
ClimaSpan supplies greenhouse climate equipment (exhaust fans, evaporative cooling pads and circulation fans). Frame and covering details for your structure are confirmed with your project team. We do not publish a public price list or catalogue-spec sheet on this page.
- Send greenhouse length, width, eave height, span type and location.
- Describe crop, peak summer and winter goals, and any existing fans, pads or vents.
- We suggest a climate equipment combination and quote by project.
Companion climate systems
Exhaust Fans
Wall-mounted fans that remove warm, humid air and create negative pressure for pad-and-fan or vent layouts.
Cooling Pads
Evaporative pads that cool incoming air when paired with exhaust fans.
Circulation Fans
Fans that move air inside the house so temperature and humidity stay more even.
Other greenhouse structures
Polycarbonate Greenhouses
PC-panel houses balancing light and insulation.
Film Greenhouses
Plastic-film single-span and multi-span houses.
High Tunnels
Single-span film tunnels for protected cropping.
Frequently asked questions
What is a glass greenhouse used for?
Glass greenhouses are used for commercial vegetable, flower and research production where a durable, high-light covering and a permanent frame are preferred.
Does ClimaSpan build glass greenhouse structures?
No. ClimaSpan is a greenhouse climate-equipment brand. This page explains how glass structures typically pair with exhaust fans, cooling pads and circulation fans. Structure supply is handled by your construction partner.
Which climate systems fit a glass greenhouse?
Most projects consider exhaust fans for air exchange, evaporative cooling pads where summer cooling is needed, and circulation fans to even temperature and humidity inside the house. Exact selection depends on size and climate.
How do I request a quote for climate equipment?
Email [email protected] with house dimensions, location and climate goals. We reply with a suggested equipment selection and a project quote.
