Double-walled glazing, while providing excellent insulation and thermal efficiency, often comes with higher installation costs compared to single-pane systems. This increase in installation costs can be attributed to the complexity of the materials used and the installation process itself. Double-walled glazing systems typically require more labor and advanced techniques to install correctly, as they have additional layers and need to be sealed properly to ensure optimal performance.

The ability to provide better insulation and lower energy costs over time can often justify the upfront expense, but it is important to recognize that the initial investment is indeed a drawback compared to simpler single-pane systems. This consideration is crucial when evaluating site-specific factors, available budgets, and energy efficiency requirements in floriculture facilities or any greenhouse environments where regulation of temperature and humidity is critical for plant health.
