Question: Is it necessary to „seal“ the greenhouse or greenhouse glazing respectively ?
Principally: not.
However, we recommend to seal the horizontal transitions from the glazing to the prole (see sketch
→ broken lines ---) with neutrally linking, transparent silicon in order to have the most possible small
amount of water and thus little dirt in the glazing reception.
Advantage: In the long term the
greenhouse has a better appearan-
ce. The tendency to the algae for-
mation just in this area decreases
tremendously.
Humidity / water can also appear
within the glazing/cellular sheets
according to the weather situation
because the PVC-sheets are not
"steam-diffusion-tight", that means
that humidity in the form of steam
penetrates into the sheet. This is a
purely optical disadvantage which
cannot be avoided.
The sheets cannot suffer any da-
mage, even not with frosty days.
Attention: Use only „neutrally linking“ silicon due to possible stress cracks in the PVC-gla-
zing. This is the most common silicon sealant being available with any DIY superstore or with
your KGT expert dealer priced at 4 – 6 € / 310 mm cartridge.
Cleansing and maintenance:
Clean the greenhouse with much water only (for ex.: with a car wash-brush or a HP-cleaning apparatus.
You can additionally use any puriers.
We wish all the buyers and users of this KGT-greenhouse much fun with their hobby of gardening
and have much success with growth!
