fiberglass panels for greenhouse #556226

My home has an attached greenhouse and the exterior wall is fiberglass panels. (See photos) They are old and dingy and I want to replace them. But when I look online for the best products, I'm overwhelmed with promotional writings and don't know how to evaluate what I should be looking for in a greenhouse fiberglass panel. Can you suggest a product or two that is outstanding, or at least give me some criteria to use in evaluating the options. I want something that is durable and as transparent as possible, even if it affects the heat retention of the greenhouse.
Thanks.

Thank you for your question. Although Extension services cannot recommend specific companies or products, we can point you to research-based criteria. Not knowing the size of your greenhouse, or your budget, the following has a good comparison of available coverings: http://extension.uga.edu/publications/detail.html?number=B910&title=Hobby%20Greenhouses
