Distinctive Orangerie Design
The T-shaped design of the Cambridge Orangerie adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any garden setting, whether traditional or modern. Picture yourself unwinding with a cup of tea, surrounded by your flourishing plants, or hosting a garden gathering in this stylish and versatile space. The Alton Cambridge T-Shaped Orangerie blends functionality with aesthetics, creating a unique garden feature that complements your lifestyle beautifully.
Robust & Durable Construction
Constructed with 100% Western Red Cedar and an aluminum base frame, this greenhouse is built to endure. Western Red Cedar is an ideal material for greenhouses because it absorbs moisture without warping and dries quickly, maintaining its structural integrity. The wood is naturally resistant to rot due to its high content of preservative oils, which also emit a pleasant aroma that deters insects and pests.
The use of sturdy glazing timber bars (44x44mm and 44x69mm) ensures exceptional strength and stability, setting the Cambridge apart from many modern greenhouses that compromise on materials and construction quality.
The aluminum base frame prevents direct contact with the ground, minimizing the risk of early rot and extending the greenhouse’s lifespan. Over time, the cedar will age beautifully to a silvery grey, enhancing its natural appeal.
Superior Jointing System: The clever mortice and tenon jointing system simplifies assembly while adding strength to the framework, ensuring a sturdy, long-lasting structure.
Quality Glazing: Equipped with 3mm toughened safety glass, the Alton Cambridge T-Shaped Orangerie offers panes that are 5-7 times stronger than standard horticultural glass. These large panes not only enhance the structure’s rigidity but also shatter into small, rounded pieces if broken, reducing injury risk. The glass fits tightly within the cedar frame, ensuring a secure environment for your plants while providing durability and safety.
Enhanced Insulation & Durability with Bar Capping: The aluminum bar capping system tightly grips the glass, integrating it into the greenhouse’s strength to prevent rattling and create a more stable structure. Rubber seals between the glazing and aluminum improve insulation, while the Moss Grey color complements the cedar as it ages.
The natural insulating properties of cedar help reduce temperature fluctuations, creating a more stable growing environment. Historical studies have shown that wooden greenhouses, like Alton’s, produced heavier crops with less watering and required less heating than aluminum models, showcasing their superior thermal efficiency.
Superior Ventilation
Multiple roof vents with automatic openers and louver windows with manual openers provide excellent airflow, maintaining a healthy environment for plants. Automatic roof vents operate without electricity, using natural heat expansion for optimal ventilation.
Elegant Accessibility
The lockable hinged door with a low-level threshold and tall eaves provide easy access and ample headroom, combining practicality with refined style.
Efficient Water Management: Equipped with a gutter and downpipe system, this greenhouse-shed hybrid effectively collects rainwater for sustainable gardening. The roof’s glass overhang directs water into the gutters, enhancing collection efficiency and preventing water from running down the sides, helping to protect the wood and glazing over time.
