Aluminium Victorian Greenhouses

Aluminium Victorian Greenhouses
It might be Victorian in design but this is a greenhouse for the 21st Century. What used to be 2mm overlapping horticultural glass is now full sheet 4mm toughened safety glass which is safer and much easier to maintain. The attractive narrow pane centres have been maintained but today’s greenhouse does not require putty, instead the glass is cushioned against gasket providing an insulating quality against both temperature and sound.
The forty-five-degree roof pitch has not changed so the greenhouse still offers plenty of head height and cubic air capacity for your plants. Like most Victorian greenhouses the slim glazing bars are supported at the ends and periodically along the length with strong portal frames.
Typically, these portal frames are powder coated in an off white whilst the slim glazing bars compliment in a quartz grey. The door, wide enough for a wheelbarrow, can be hinged on the left or the right. At each end of the gable a hand turned finial painted to match the frame crowns the greenhouse.

Like many Victorian greenhouses strong portal frames were used to support narrower metal sections. Often made from wood these were painted in a contrasting colour. We have chosen to continue this most attractive feature by powder coating the aluminium portal frames in Grey White. The narrower aluminium glazing frames in quartz grey provide a gasket seal to cushion each full length pane of toughened glass in place.
