Greenhouse Solution In Ambattur
VSR Engineering Craft Is one of the best greenhouse solution provider in chennai
Introduction
A greenhouse is a structure designed to create a controlled environment for growing plants by regulating temperature, humidity, light, and ventilation. It uses transparent or translucent materials to allow sunlight to enter and trap heat inside, creating favorable conditions for plant growth throughout the year.
Principle of Greenhouse
The greenhouse works on the greenhouse effect principle:
- Sunlight passes through the transparent covering.
- Heat is absorbed by plants, soil, and internal surfaces.
- The trapped heat raises the internal temperature.
- Ventilation and shading are used to control excess heat.
Components of a Greenhouse
- Frame Structure – Made of steel, aluminum, or wood to support the covering.
- Cladding Material – Glass, polycarbonate sheets, or polyethylene film.
- Foundation – Supports and anchors the structure.
- Ventilation System – Natural or mechanical for air circulation.
- Heating and Cooling Systems – Maintains optimal temperature.
- Irrigation System – Drip or mist irrigation for plants.
- Shading Devices – Control light intensity.
