Natural ventilation allows for an inexpensive means of cooling. With the use of atrium roof vents the clear opening to the sky quickly allows the hot air to escape similar to a chimney.  In conjunction with side inlet vents and shade curtains temperatures can be less than outside ambient temperature. The inlet vents can be the guillotine vents with their clear opening or the old style rack and pinion. The quiet environment of natural ventilation is a great shopping experience in a retail garden center as compared to noisy fans. Less expensive cloth curtains will give you an economical natural ventilation option in the roof or the walls.   

Glass is the traditional greenhouse covering that is used in a myriad of ways in today’s market. Today’s glass products allow for wider bar spacing and still withstand the required snow and wind loading.  The various styles of glass that are used tempered, laminated, colored, insulated and Low-E. Greenhouse glazing systems are popular as storefront systems in garden centers.

The least expensive of greenhouse coverings is still very popular. The newer films have characteristics that enhance their energy efficiency and the control of condensate.  Nexus manufactures our own locking systems to attach the film to the roof, sides, ends or anywhere else you may want to use it.

The best way to differentiate your business from your neighbor is to use a colored metal deck covering that stands out, particularly in retail garden centers.  The use of insulation in the roofs and walls gives you energy savings and helps keep your operating costs down.
